Utterly beautiful and sensual. I was lost in this.
I'm so glad you liked it!
"In retrospect, I believe it was a mistake to light the match."
Hilarious!
Essay on the K/S relationship, originally written for the Ship Manifesto Project.
Reading this made me so happy! I loved this list of episodes and agree wholeheartedly. "The Tholian Web" made me cry, it was so romantic. I called it "Star Trek: The Search for Kirk."
That's perfect! And thank you. I'm glad it made you happy. :)
It's almost two in the morning, and I get up for work in a few hours, but it couldn't stop reading. This was lovely. I adored T'Brita, how adventurous she was, and hope she does find happiness herself. The hospital scene about did me in. Jim's anguish was already apparent, but his desperation made me cry. i giggled when Spock got creative with healing trances. Going on my favorites list.
I loved this because it was told from a third party's POV, so even though we saw an incredibly romantic moment between captain and commander, it wasn't overly saccharine because McCoy kept us grounded. i really liked how you developed his voice. Would definitely red this again!
One of my favorites! I adore this story.
You write these two perfectly. I loved this whole story, its slow progression, but what made my heart beat fastest was Spock's gift to McCoy. It actually made my eyes tear up. You write such lovely stories.
[Reviews - 22] Doctor McCoy has detected a dangerous syndrome in two of his patients. He prescribes a novel treatment.
I understand why this is a classic: convenient bed sharing, mutual confusion, what-does-it-mean touching, and a happy ending. McCoy is, undoubtedly, damned pleased with himself. Loved this.
Glad you liked. I really did write this, as the title implies, to put the kibosh on the Hurt/Comfort Syndrome. I chuckle to think of how direct K/S stories flourished after I first published this, and (yes!) the number of Hurt/Comfort stories fell off. Of course, I can't take all the credit for that; society's attitude toward same-sex also matured in the same time-frame. Still, I'm happy to have done my bit in helping it along.

When the Enterprise is asked to transport Vulcan colonists to their new home, Spock Prime comes with them. His presence changes everything – and leads to certain revelations for Jim and Spock. A story about growth, self-discovery, and new beginnings.
Bittersweet, hopeful, poignant, and beautifully told.
Kirk takes Spock for a special shore leave together on Earth
Poor bruised Spock. Good thing Jim was there to warm him up!
Absolutely! hugs, hot tea, an' a nice bit of curry; there's nowt better, specially when the server's this cute! =)
“Naked Time” Reboot style, shaken but not stirred… “It was a sight that Jim knew he wouldn’t ever be able to strike from his memory no matter how many times he beat his head against a wall in an honest effort to try.”
This is absolutely perfect, but that ending line is one of the best endings I've come across in this fandom. I choked up. Loved it!
After a session in the gym, Spock and Kirk find that there's a malfunction with the showers. The only option is to share...
I love the role reversal!
Spock is still in a relationship with Uhura when he experiences his first Pon Farr. At his first officer's request, Kirk diverts the Enterprise to New Vulcan so he can marry T'Pring, who survived Vulcan's destruction. However, when Spock gets there, he finds his wedding doesn't go according to plan. This is Pon Farr with a reboot twist.
I was going to read the start of this and save it for after work, but I ended up reading the entire thing in one sitting. This is absolutely charming! I love this spin on the accidental bonding trope. I also liked that the bond didn't force immediate intimacy between them, but that it grew on its own. Absolutely satisfying read! Thank you so much for writing it.
I'm really happy to hear you 'couldn't put it down' - that's a huge compliment! ♥ I love the accidental bonding trope and wanted to try something different - what if it wasn't all sweetness and light to begin with (I mean, how would anyone feel if they were forced to marry a co-worker of the wrong orientation to themselves!). I'm so glad you enjoyed it - thank you for leaving this wonderful feedback (and so sorry I didn't respond sooner). x
It takes a war with the Tholians for Kirk and Spock to start talking truthfully with each other.
Butterflies -- this gave me butterflies. I love the structure of this piece, its slow progression, how we too are waiting on the next communication. penda's letter at the end was my favorite one. I nearly cried.
What if someone had persuaded young!Spock to fill out the questions? Ya I'm silly. Deal. ;-)>
This is so sweet! Poor thing. I wanted to give him hugs.
yeah -- in either universe, his childhood was kinda sucky most of the time. heh. me and Spock, we reach. glad ye liked this!
Three years into their mission, shore leave happens to coincide with Christmas. The entire bridge crew is spending time with their families, so Jim decides to rent himself a cabin in northern Ontario, resigned to spending the three weeks alone.
Fortunately for Jim, a certain pointy-eared officer is also lacking in Christmas plans.

Ohhhh, that was so lovely and sweet. It gave me butterflies.
Behind the machinations of bureaucracy lurks the lives of real people.
First published in First Time #53. Warm thanks go to Jenna Sinclair for her help with its development and to Lyrastar for putting it online.
A dear friend recommended this to me, and I am so happy I read it. I really liked Barak and how you developed him through the story. He came across as sympathetic in the end. I especially liked how Barak described things which the reader understands, even though he didn't, like Jim slapping Spock out of his healing trance. This was very sad but quite lovely!
Just like the Butterfly Effect, Jim Kirk flaps his outraged hand, and everything changes. Oh, and Amanda Grayson survives Vulcan. What happens after?
That was incredibly satisfying. Spock losing his mother always makes me feel wretched. I love that it is Jim who saves her, and that it is Amanda who encourages Spock to remain in Starfleet. I would love to read something else in this same AU!
I had a lot of fun weaving it all together so it all tied in somehow.. :) Glad you liked it!
A very old and lonely man. And a young and lonely man. We put on a pretty poor show, didn't we? - Kirk to Spock, Requiem for Methuselah. A story set in San Francisco; after the defeat of Nero, but before the Enterprise once again took flight.
I want you to know how much I love this story. It was the very first Kirk/Spock Prime fic I ever read, and it holds such a place in my heart. I've read all of your K/S fics, and this is my favorite. There's something about it which is haunting and touching. I share it with everyone who loves this pairing. Thanks for writing this and sharing it.
