How the TOS crew reacts to being stuck in the turbo lift with you

requested by anon: “how would the tos crew react to getting stuck in the turbolift with reader?”

Spock

He only briefly looks up when he realises that the turbo lift has stopped.

Has no reaction whatsoever and goes back to doing whatever work on his PADD because he figures somebody has to notice it’s out of order fairly quickly

He just goes about his business until he hears you hyperventilating

He already knows why you’re panicking.

Spock does his best to comfort you by telling you that there’s only one turbo lift and therefore someone will have to fix it soon.

He’ll 100% tell you all about the history of elevators and how the turbo lift is so much safer 🤓

If you’re still worried after that he’ll let you hold his hand until someone finally fixes the turbo lift.

Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy

Internally, he also freaks out a little bit

Bones somehow keeps his composure despite being trapped very close to you

He’s entirely in his own head about it until he realises that he can hear you freaking out even more than him

His inner country boy breaks out a little and pulls you close to him

Absolutely kisses your hands and maybe even your cheek to make you giggle a bit

He’ll remind you that you guys have been through way worse than a stopped turbo lift.

Jim Kirk

“Huh” his exact words after realising you’ve stopped.

Honestly, he really really trusts his crew so he won’t be worried at all

But the moment he hears your breathing pick up he’ll start cracking jokes

“Actually this works out perfectly, I was on my way to a meeting”

Pulls you into a big bear hug and tells you how he’d much rather be here with you

if you’re still panicking he’ll say something like “do I have to order you to calm down”

Keeps telling jokes until you laugh

and when you do laugh, he’s pretty sure his heart jumps out of his chest.

Nyota Uhura

Absolute girl boss about it

Would 100% wait it out if it weren’t for the fact that she could see you panicking

But you’re panicking and she can’t bare to see you with anything but a smile on your face

She pulls out her comm and calls down to engineering (why did no one else think to do this? 🧐)

Once she’s done that all she can really do is wait

She won’t even wait or hesitate, she’ll pull you to the floor and sit with you

10/10 would recommend getting stuck in the turbo lift with Nyota, she will cuddle until someone fixes the lift

Sulu

“Oh my”

His mind seriously blanks

But he kicks into gear when he remembers you’re here too

He pulls out a deck of cards and asks if you like magic 🪄

(I dunno why I just think Sulu can do card tricks and stuff 🤷‍♀️)

Card tricks quickly devolves into an intense game of war

Its unexpected for sure, but it works

Scotty

It takes him a moment to notice

But when he hears your breathing he looks up and realises that you’ve stopped

You’re lucky to be stuck in the turbo lift with the head of engineering

He gives you a quick wink 😉 and smirks when you blush

He’d turn around, open up a panel that you didn’t even know existed, and fix it

Bam, problem solved

If you’re really shaken up by it though he’ll probably take you for a drink after or make you tea if you don’t drink

I hope you like it, anon. I’m super sorry if this isn’t what you had in mind, feel free to re-request it with more specific parameters if this isn’t what you meant.

little headcanon

It was raining and this came to mind. Rainy day on shore leave

Spock

He’s aware of how comparatively fragile humans

He will try his best to keep you inside for your health

it definitely doesn’t work though

When he brings you back in he runs you a bath and makes you change into dry clothes

he does this three more times before giving up with a sigh of “highly illogical”

Jim Kirk

You play in the rain?

no arguments, he’s playing with you in the rain

big fluffy golden retriever energy

he will shake off his hair at you when you guys go back in

is perfectly happy to indulge in splashing through the puddles the next day

Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy

Shakes his head at you a bit, but won’t stop you

he’s happy to see you happy

will not go in the rain himself, but will watch you having a grand ole time out there

eventually calls you back in because it’s been awhile and you’ve gotta sleep sometime

has dry clothes and a cup of your favourite hot drink waiting for you when you do finally come in

Hold Me

Jim Kirk x Reader 582 words

---

Another self-indulgent comfort fic, this time with Jim. No romance here, just some comfort cuddles.

---

It was fortunate for you that Jim had a doorbell because you were so nervous that your knocks would have been way too quiet. The bugger about doorbells though was that you couldn’t simply pretend you’d never tapped on the door if he didn’t hear you the first time.

You could hear the chime echo through the house, and when his footsteps followed you briefly considered jumping into his front garden and pretending you weren’t there.

He was surprised to find you there, standing awkwardly on his doorstep, wringing your hands together as you gave him a smile that was more of a grimace, but he was happily surprised. He stepped to the side immediately to let you in, closing the door as you headed past him and into his lounge room.

“So...you alright? You seem pretty nervous.”

“A little nervous, yeah. I’ve got a weird favour to ask you.”

“How weird we talkin’ here? My level weird or…?”

“Oh no, no. Definitely not your level.”

“That’s oddly reassuring for some reason.”

You took a step closer and he mirrored you, albeit a little slower, like he was gauging what you may need.

“Could you...hold me for a bit?”

“You want a hug? We hug all the time.” he stepped closer again, confused, but his expression wasn’t saying no so you kept going.

“No, like-” You grabbed hold of his sleeve for want of contact, and his hand turned to hold yours gently. “It’s been a long and not so great week and I’m feeling wildly touch starved and I really need to be held if that makes sense.”

“Look who you’re talking to. Of course it makes sense.”

“Oh that is such a relief to hear cause I was genuinely worried that you’d-”

“-I’ve got conditions.”

Your heart dropped. “What, um, what do you need? Dinner? Errands?”

He shrugged a laugh. “Nothing like that. I just wanna do it in bed. I’ve been on my feet all day and they’re killing me. Plus then I can fall asleep and not worry about falling on you.”

“Jim, Christ, you scared the hell out of me for a moment there.” You made to swat at him with your free hand but he was already tugging you along, switching off lights as he went.

You were feeling pretty awkward as you climbed into bed next to him. You’d never asked him for anything like this before, and while, yeah, you were good friends who hugged a lot, this was a big new step.

He settled in quickly before reaching for you, wrapping his arms around you as soon as you’d gotten comfortable. You didn’t realise just how relieved you were by the outcome until you let out a big breath you didn’t realise you’d been holding. This was exactly what you needed.

His hands were slowly moving, tracing patterns over your back, and you got what he meant about the falling thing cause you were pretty close to nodding off yourself.

“Y’know you can ask for this any time. You mean a lot to me, and if there’s ever anything you need you know I’ll always be there for you. No matter how trivial it may seem or how weird you think it is. Alright?”

“I’ll try but I make no promises.”

“Just means I’ll have to keep a closer eye on you.”

You could hear the smile in his voice and snuggled closer. He would. Of that you had no doubt.

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

Bunnies Can’t Read

nobody move i just had a revelation.

so, you know the Bailey School Kids books, right? the series about a bunch of children speculating on whether or not the seemingly innocuous grown-ups around them may actually be mythical creatures/wizards/undead/what have you.

i’ve seen that post joking about how the supposedly secret monster people in the books are just very obviously queer, but i just realized another interpretation: these books are just about nonhumans. i’m one of the weird grown-ups in this book series.

all this time, i was reading about werewolves and vampires and aliens living under the guise of humans, when i was the creature in human form all along!!

(ps: if you’re nonhuman, put what the title of your book in this series would be in the tags. mine would be ‘wasp-cats don’t write fanfiction’)
