LIKE- i wasn't rly paying attention to the show cuz i was doing homework simultaniously but when i tell you i was SHOOK when i heard that- i was like girl what- did you just- you did NOT just say what i think you did- and i replayed it like 15 times. i mean yeah its lower decks but since WHEN is characters shipping spirk IN CANON a thing?? like the writers... am i only realizing this now or!?!? i mean they did that once when the cerritos crew visited this one bar and there was "K+S" carved into the wooden counter but excuse me?? what the actual- this is CANON STAR TREK MEDIA yall!!!

if you do not suffer gracefully, your suffering still matters. if you suffer and learn nothing, your suffering still matters. pain is not a tool to be harnessed. it is not a measurement of divinity. there is no shame in suffering loudly, suffering undignified, suffering vulnerable.

Beautiful Spirk fics with less than 400 kudos

It’s fic rec time! These are some of my favorite spirk fics, go give some love to these works and their creators!

I Wish I could Show you, by zjofierose (AOS)

The pinnacle of h/c, and it’s extremely well written. Spock is traumatised and needs Jim, so it’s finally time to be honest with their feelings for both of them. Featuring one of my absolute favourite things: Jim Kirk falling to his knees because he’s in looooooove.

Palm to palm is holy palmers kiss, by Ahria (AOS)

Oh, this Jim. I love it when Jim is convinced he’s not loved back and is a pining mess, but he’s also delightfully Jim, so pure, honest, straightforward and brave. This fic is a perfect p0rn whit feelings + hand kink, one cannot want more than this.

This Empty Place, by CateAdams (TOS)

God, I love this author. This fic has a standard, comforting setting: Spock and Jim get stuck together during a mission gone wrong, and you can imagine what happens next. I love it when they talk quietly and find a way to come to terms with their feelings. No more bullshit, just love. Bonus, this fic is written in a wonderfully poetic way.

Meet Me at the Barricade, by lalazee (AOS)

I am obsessed with this fic. Seriously, I don’t understand why it’s not linked everywhere. It’s a detailed AU where Jim lives among the Orions, and it explores the warrior side of the t'hy'la bond, with a vaguely mirror-like spirk. Warning for gore and violence, but if you’re not sensitive to that sort of thing, read on, you won’t regret it.

Bashert, by Herself_nyc (TOS + AOS)

I will never stop loving fics where aos spirk meets tos spirk. There is also something in this fic that I didn’t think I wanted, namely an impatient Prime Kirk who not only doesn’t take any crap, but is also very distrustful of aos kirk.

The Sweetness of the Poisoned Fruit, by tuvokholdmyhandchallenge (MIRROR)

I can’t stress enough to read the tags for this one, but: mirror spirk, non(dub?)-con, alien biology. That’s exactly what it seems, and if you like this shit, go for it.

no place for cowards (or: jim kirk’s heart is a tender place), by alienbabe (molotovgirl) (AOS)

This one deserves something like 3k kudos. A perfect character study of Jim, beautifully written, it will make your heart ache.

An Endless Stream of Tomorrows, by remylebae (TOS)

Aaaah, so cute! After The One With the Whales, Jim asks Spock to marry him. I loved their banter, the dialogues are perfect, and this sassy, calm Spock drives me crazy.

Two Very Different Men, by Wingittofreedom (MIRROR)

I am so weak for this kind of mirror fic. P0rn with a lot of feelings, plus the mortifying ordeal of being known. Bonus for beautiful art.

due consideration, by tciddaemina (TOS)

A fic in which Spock realises he is in love and does the only logical thing: he carefully reasons about it. Extremely in character for both Spock and Jim, and they talk about it like two adults, coming to terms with each other and putting their relationship into perspective. And then, of course, lots of feelings + hand kink!!!

i hope this is how they become friends [ID: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fan art. Uhura calls behind her jokingly “Hey, Mr. Spock! Play Wonderwall!” Spock’s holding his lyre. He blinks at her, then begins to play. Uhura looks thrilled “holy shit,” /END ID] (audio source)

star trek iv: the voyage to five guys AKA the one with the hotdog place

au where instead of going back for whales they go back to find a five guys but they’re about 20 years too early (from @casual-marriage-in-space ‘s five guys au)

Spirk fanfiction with that trope where Spock gets split into his human half and Vulcan half except it’s aos and Spock is still carrying guilt over losing his temper at Jim and choking him on the bridge and has been avoiding touching him so he doesn’t hurt him since

But now that he doesn’t have to worry about his “Human” emotions making it so that he loses control of himself and accidentally hurt Jim, “Vulcan Spock” is being v physically affectionate to him and won’t let “Human Spock” touch Jim at all
