There are so many times you hear variations on the title strap line in TOS episodes that when I saw it on this website before I'd logged on it made me think that it would be a great title for a fic.
Who says it and why your choice
Okay so I was watching Disney's Tarzan and te sone You'll be in my heart remined me of Spock an Kirk.
A jerk of a admiral (it could be Komack or some other admiral. Could be made up) doesn't like such a young captain being in charge of the top ship of the fleet and the scrutiny of the Admirality doesn't seem to be pressuring him enough. To prove that Kirk isn't ready for such a responsibility, he sends Kirk and his team to a planet that essentially is another Tarsus IV.
Spock has recentally figured out he has some inappropriate feelings for his captain and has been avoiding him for the past few days. However after landing ono the planet with the landing team and his captain, he knows somethings off. Interpret this expedition any way you like. Afterwards, Spock manages to covince starfleet to get shore leave. Vulcan II or Earth. If vulcan, maybe he could meet T'Pring or some of the bullies Spock met as a child. If earth, then maybe show kirk's dysfunctional family. The main point of shore leave is to put emphasis on how neither fit in.
Has to end happily with Kirk and Spock together and don't make Kirk completely pathetic. He's not a damsel in distress.
Bonus if Kirk gets close or does have a panic attack on the bridge and Spock takes him out
Bonus if you get Spock to lie for the first time on a report to star fleet. Just leaving some stuff out, covering for kirk's freak out, your choice. More points if he gets caught.
Bonus if you get Uhura and Bones to conspire with one another
Bonus points if Uhura is Spock's Bones, aka overprotective.
I love angsty Academy fics. Would like to see:
- Kirk as an Instructor (He can be the youngest instructor in Starfleet history if you want to keep in character about Jim being a GENIUS). He surprisingly strict instructor, but thorough and a good teacher. He can have a bit of a reputation with recently graduated cadets....
- Spock - a cadet - as his student. Prudish (with secret desiiiiires) and finding human's distasteful, at first! I don't want Spock to feel like he's being bullied (no more victim-Spock, lol). Want plenty of love for the Vulcan by human's ^^ In fact, it can seem like Kirk is the only human who ISN'T infatuated with him (or is he =p)
- Bit of Uhura bashing
- McCoy as a proud parent, gushing about how effing fantastic it is to have a daughter, whilst Jim's rolling his eyes in the background.
In regards to story, would like to see:
- Plenty of angst
- Spock not liking his instructor at first (possibly finding his teaching methods unorthodox?)
- Spock warming up to Kirk under Kirk's charms.
- Like to see Kirk trying to ignore his rather attractive Vulcan student (which seems to fuel Spock's lust even more).
- There has to be something dramatic that brings them together (NOT a disease, or an injury.)
- Has to have a happy ending
- PLENTY OF SPIRK. Hotter the better, though this needs to be gradual with K/S. Make Kirk have plenty of partners before Spock if you want. Adult rating is a must.
- Mostly I want to see two dominate males who are reluctant to submit to the other (though Spock eventually folds).
HAVE FUN! =D
This is inspired by a Taiwanese Drama I just watched called "Fated to Love You". Kind of like your Cinderella Story except in this version the baby comes first then the marriage. I'm using the synopsis of the drama to write this challenge..lol
So for this challenge I am making it really AU of the Abrams verse to make it plausible.
Jim Kirk is an unconfident office worker who is like a sticky note, convenient to run errands for people and is taken advantage of easily. He has the desire to tie down his boyfriend Gary Mitchell(Who is a cheating bastard) and after some advice, he plans and pays for a romantic cruise trip.
Spock is the sole male heir to his family’s Corporation from Amanda's side. Sarek is still an ambassador in this, don't see a reason to change that. But Spock has taken over the company from his grandfather and is now president/CEO. He has been in love with his Starfleet girlfriend Nyota Uhara for a very long time. Amanda's family has a curse of having only male descendant in every generation.
Nyota is very focused on her career, She doesn’t want to settle down yet because of her career and the pressure of having to rid Amanda's family curse so she has rejected Spock's proposal for twelve times in a row. Spock hasn't given up and plans the thirtieth proposal on a romantic cruise trip. Nyota is on her way to the cruise trip when she gets a call informing her of an important mission and so she cancels on Spock and leaves for the mission.
On the cruise Jim gets sick and takes some cold medicine which makes him drowsy and disoriented. He accidently goes into Spock's room because their rooms are across from one another and Jim's room in 36 and Spock's is 39. The 9 was loose and when Spock has closed it last the 9 flipped and became a 6. Spock one the other hand was drugged by some people who are angry with him over a new project his corporation started. Spock's company is buying out a chain company and rebuilding it to their own purposes. The company people came aboard the ship to convince Spock otherwise and when Spock doesn't change his mind and tells them off they spike his drink in revenge. So Spock has been given a very potent aphrodisiac and makes his way to his room. He of courses has his away with Jim and Jim thinks its Gary so neither are aware they are sleeping with strangers until come morning.
Spock accuses Jim is being in cohorts with the people who drugged him and realizes his mistake when he sees Jim freaking out about losing his first time to a complete stranger!!! So Spock plays nice and goes with Jim to see Gary, of course when Jim goes to his room with Spock in tow they see Gary with another person and Jim gets his heart broken as Gary basically informs Jim that he's just been using him for money. Spock feels bad for Jim and takes him and does the whole cool guy make over and helps Jim show up Gary on the cruise. They depart when the cruise ends vowing never to talk about what happened.
However, everything changes when Jim discovers that he is pregnant (Jim has to have a mix bloodline from another alien race to make this possible obviously). Since Jim is supposed to be like Cinderella maybe that can come in to play with how his family treats him and what his family life is like. To top it all of the company that Jim works for is the one that Spock is now taking over so they run into one another when Spock comes for a meeting or something. Amanda finds out about the pregnancy and force the two to get married. Amanda is not fond of Nyota as she takes her work first and Amanda loves Jim from the moment she meets him. She sees that Jim can make Spock happy and take care of him with his hectic life. So she puts her foot down to get them married.
Spock who is still very in love with his girlfriend decides that he will make Jim leave after he gives birth to the child. Jim starts to fall in love with him but is burdened with the guilt of ruining Spock and Nyota’s relationship so he struggles to stand up for himself. Spock is unsure of what to do when he realizes that he is falling for Jim. Nyota comes back from her mission to discover what has happened with Spock. She creates a misunderstanding between Jim and Spock that causes Jim to doubt Spock's feeling for him and for the baby.
So what will Spock do? Who will he choose? How will Jim grow through he course of this story?
I have to request that a happy ending is a MUST between Jim and Spock. I don't mind a little angst, but Spock and Jim have to happy ending.
I want Jim to want a family after how his life has been and Spock to love children and is looking forward to becoming a father even if he didn't want the baby in the beginning. And Amanda to be the mother that Jim never had. She's always in Jim's corner after Spock and Jim get married and protects him.
Bonus: lots and lots of fluffy moments between Jim and Spock; endearments, thoughtful gifts, funny moments, etc. Go nuts with the fluff!!!
Super-Bonus: if you get the other characters in the story as well; specially Bones, Scotty, Sulu and Chekov.
Mega-Bonus: lots and lots of sexy times between Jim and Spock; specially after Spock starts to fall in love with Jim and maybe his Vulcan instinct takes over and he can't keep his hands off Jim.
Have fun and Enjoy!!!
