It's funny, because I was actually a K/S-er long before I became a Trekkie. One year, The Voyage Home was the Christmas Day movie and my family were watching it, and I had to as well (because there was only one TV). I had absolutely no idea what was going on plotwise, but I vividly remember being struck by those two guys who were obviously meant for each other. As I was about 6 years old at the time, I only thought about it in general terms, and it wasn't till much later that I discovered the wonderful world of fanfiction (via Thyla.com) and it was that which prompted me to borrow my mum's TOS videos and watch them. Hurrah for those! Then I discovered the explicit stuff and it's been downhill since then...
Jim offers. Spock rejects.
There are two sides to every story.
A/N: Chapter Six - Spock's thoughts during pon farr.
I agree with Dahliaxat - another chapter please!
Thanks for commenting. I hope to have another chapter up soon. ^_^
Hot hot hot hot hot stuff! Yummy.
Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you liked it. ;D
I love your writing - you convey so much in not many words. It's great! I loved the posessiveness of Spock in this, as well. Kind of animalistic and primitve... Fantastic.
Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you like it so far. :D
Kirok keeps hearing a voice he thinks he knows so well and a ship that sails the skies haunts him. He begins to wonder if this is paradise or is he living someone else's life.
I think this is really good - understated, yet powerful! Well done.
This is an answer to PortableIce's Double Happy Ending Challenge:
Ok, after witnessing Kirk's death, Picard goes to tell Spock about his T'hy'la's demise. This results in major depression for Spock even though he finally has closure on his love's whereabouts and fate.
Feeling bad for both men who have done a long list of great things for himself, his crew, Starfleet, and the universe, Picard basically goes to the one man who can make this right--and always leaves him a mess of tangled emotions and thoughts, Q. He offers to do Q a big favor of his desire if he can bring Kirk back alive and let the two most epic guys in the universe live the rest of their lives together, especially in death. (One suggestion: maybe have some life force from Spock transferred to Kirk as to equal out their "natural" lifespans)
The favor that Q requests of Picard, since he too is in a turmoil of personal proportions whenever they meet, is actually very surprisingly sweet and romantic; a double happy ending for the story.
Bonus for the piece having equal parts humor, angst, and happiness.
I did what I could. Enjoy.
Thank you so much for writing this! I thought it was criminal what happened to Kirk... and as for Spock, being alone for so many years and not knowing, that just makes me cry. But now you've brought them together again and I am very happy indeed (and I know they are too)!
Yes, as we've all agreed, Generations sucked. Kirk (and Spock) deserved better. I hope I gave that to them.
Guess what? They're fighting again.
This is just gorgeous - it's witty, sexy... wonderful!
High praise :). I'm so glad you liked it.
A sequel to "This Side of Paradise", the TOS episode where Spock gets hit with spores and falls in love. For those of you who like my "sweet yet hot" stories, I think this one will fit the bill. Enjoy.
Ah, this is gorgeous. I can really imagine Spock coming to apologise to Kirk, and then getting all jumpy and running away. Good job!
Thank you very much.
Spock tries to deal with emotion that has overtaken him. Is there an end to this madness?
I love the poem, but I do find the picture rather silly and incongruous, I'm afraid...
McCoy does not believe Jim's explanation for his broken arm.
Well McCoy certainly walked into that one, didn't he...
Great!
I take great pleasure in cornering Bones with his words.
The new crew member needs to tune into the gossip...
Ha ha! The last line was great. Poor Theresa...
The story behind The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.
I apologize even before I write this, but it is something I must do.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That was the biggest LOL I've had for a while.
Six places in which Spock tried to make it with Kirk, and the one time and place Kirk finally got the hint and decided to help out.
I love this so much... Spock's so innocent yet such a sexual animal at the same time. Wow... the bathroom sex was hot! And I always thought that it made sense for Vulcans to knot, considering their habitat and cyclic fertility. Very nice indeedy.
Analysis of both Star Trek: 2009 and Star Trek: The Original Series. My two cents on the canonicity of the K/S romance - maybe not entirely specified onscreen but most definitely in the creator's intentions and a not unlikely interpretation. Also going through some truths about Spock/Uhura, some questions about it's validity, and some reassurances for ST:XI slash fans.
(I realise that there are several "proof that K/S is canon" essays floating around, but this one is a little different as it is as much on the new movie as on TOS, and will focus not just on the events in canon but also on the motive and intentions of the creators and producers.)
Interesting essay. I'm not a Spock/Uhura fan, but I do think there is a lot of evidence in TOS to suggest that Spock and Uhura developed a close, affectionate friendship (despite the rocky beginnings in 'The Man Trap') and even enjoyed playful flirting occasional. For this reason I don't agree that the filmmakers only put in S/U to downplay the 'Kirk getting the girl' stereotype, or that Uhura was guilt-tripping Spock. However, I certainly agree that they were never romantically involved and that there is no evidence that they were. Personally, I am firmly convinced that Kirk/Spock are the one true pair.
Thanks for writing this essay!
Cose and affectionate friendship, sure, but I doubt any more that that. Because deny Kirk and Spock all you want, but that doesn't stop Uhura from being with Scotty! I'm not sure about the filmmakers introducing S/U to break the badass getting the girl stereotype (it was a general stereotype, I think, not just Kirk), I've also heard that they only introduced it because they needed someone to comfort Spock and his relaitonship with Kirk wasn't up to it yet (not very good comforting, still, but he did have someone to say goodbye to on the transporter pad). And yes, I think K/S are undeniably the one true pairing, so long as you have eyes, that is.
Kirk and Spock must dress like women in order to fit in at the diplomatic reception being held for them on a female-dominated planet.

[Reviews - 6] This essay functions as a direct refutation to Unicorn's essay, 'Why k/s is not canon to me (and why I don't mind :-)'. In this, I aim to respectfully refute various arguments made in the former essay with those in support and favor of a romantic interpretation to the K/S pairing. I am hoping this essay will be both informative and enlightening, though a lot of the points made will be nothing new to a K/S veteran.
Wow! This was a interesting, well-argued essay. I do agree with most of your points and interpretations, but that's by no means the only reason why I like it, so thank you for writing.
I'm really glad that slash fans and non slash fans alike can have these debates yet still cohabit in the same website. I reckon there's something in particular about Star Trek fans that makes them really open minded and accepting of other people's points of view.
Your theory on 'Generations' was very clever - the idea of the Nexus being seen differently through Picard's POV was something I'd never considered before. My theory was just that it would be too painful for Kirk to have a fake Spock in the Nexus, knowing (if only unconsciously) that he wasn't the real thing. Yours is probably the better explanation...
You know, that theory has occurred to me, too. I finally settled on the Picard's Bias thing because I hadn't heard that interpretation before and I thought it might add a new interpretation to the fandom. I think the former is totally valid, though, especially if you believe that Kirk may have conjured up a replica of Spock on the Shore Leave planet and had already learned that a 'fake' Spock isn't sufficient (which, again, I think is totally believable even if there is no *direct* evidence of that having happened ;) ).
But, yes, I love debating this with both K/Sers and anti-K/Sers alike. I like that both sides of the equation exist because I think it keeps things interesting.
Thanks for your review! I'm glad you liked the essay. =)

Sulu tricks Spock into hosting a party to sell Sulu’s line of sex potions and toys, a situation that does not sit well with Spock’s lover, Kirk

Ha ha! I had a great LOL at Christine Chapel fondling the green double-ridged dildo...
That was Phaedra. She had the most deliciously flithy mind. Bless her!
Spock's pet tribble complicates their lives with its habit. Dedicated to my ferret, Charlie Brown, who will also steal items 10 times his own weight.
God, kleptomaniac pets... I feel their pain! What a sweet story. You captured Jim's voice perfectly in this.
I just read a Valentine's Day story where Spock Prime was alone. I felt so lousy about it that I had to crank this out.
Sweeeeet! This is cute enough to cancel out the sad and still have some left over. Love it!
God, they're randy old buggers aren't they!
This was just gorgeous - thank you so much for writing this.
A follow-up story to the season three episode "The Paradise Syndrome".
Kirk, Spock, and McCoy share a quiet evening together and Spock promptly falls asleep on Kirk's shoulder. After McCoy leaves, what will happen?
My first attempt at fanfiction!
Aw, that was sweet. I particularly like the way you portrayed the interaction between Kirk, Spock and McCoy at the beginning (although I can't really imagine them settling down for movie night!) - I thought you captured their voices really well. Some post-Miramanee angst would have been nice, but you obviously wanted a happy story, and I liked it, so I'm not complaining!
Well done on your first fic.
