What Lies Beneath by Ragdoll Rated: Mature Content (Teen) starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 20]
Summary:

Spock, in typical Vulcan fashion, has withdrawn himself from the Enterprise, her crew, and especially her Captain, and Jim is determined to find out why. OR: If a Vulcan has an emotional reaction, and there’s no one around to see it, does it still have any impact?

Well... that is... just... Perfect. Really. It shows perfectly this "new" Spock and Kirk, the pain I am sure will make them come together. Spock's desperate cry for help (in the guise of a not-so-good privacy computer program) was SO in character... and Kirk determination. They won't lose, no. Poor Uhura, I am rather sure she couldn't understand Spock, either. And, I hadn't see it, but you are right... a 11 years old child who goes towards a cliff looks really like a suicide attempt. After all the movie had a thing for parallel scene. I love this. More, please? é.è

Author's Response: Yeah, the movie did have a love of symmetry. I'm glad you saw them as IC! The original Spock and Kirk were such... great... smart... sneaky men. I had to throw some of that in here! I'm grateful to know it worked!

don't last like the feeling by anowlinsunshine Rated: ADULT (NC-17) starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 11]
Summary:

"The breakdown of one relationship followed by the transition into another, or: How Uhura learns that sometimes, these things just happen." Written originally for the st_xi_kink meme on LJ for the prompt of Kirk and Spock's relationship developing while Spock is still with Uhura, but this turned out to have no kink. Set in Abrams 'verse.

Well, this story has something of perfect in it ^____^ I loved it! I can totally see this, really. I can't say I don't like in itself the S/U pairing, just that in the movie it didn't get much focus... it is all about Kirk and Spock XD And, your view of their rivalry that became friendship and then love is beautiful. I also like the format, very Uhura-like (she is an orderly person in the movie after all!). Good job, I hope to read more from you!^_^

I agree with everything Amanda wrote :) he Spock's POV is very well done, and the situation totally believable. I just miss something of Kirk and Spock "special" relationship here (they are two guys who have sex, period). The story is very well written though, and believable and hot :D



Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! I agree that something's unsaid between the two of them here, I don't think they're quite comfortable enough with each other to start showing signs of the intimacy we know TOS Kirk and Spock to have. But there will be more fic for them, here--and I'll address that issue, no doubt at all.

Nah. Readers should ALWAYS beware.

 

Plus, I think my name is already a bit of a caveat lector.

Reviewer: Tatya Signed
Date: 10/07/2009 Title: Chapter 1: “Wer geteilt, ist, hat, nicht, mitzuteilen”- Bargeld

Well, following your reasoning, we should have no warnings at all since us readers should always be aware ;P

I would suggest you to use it^^

 



Author's Response:

"About warnings: The policy of this archive is to leave warnings to the author's discretion. If you prefer to label your story with warnings, please do so, but it is not required."

Suggest all you like. I don't like to soften the impact of my writing. There isn't any rape, so I'm not triggering there. Should I warn for violence? This is Star Trek. It is full of violence. This story is about the mind, not the vessels that carry it- commentary on a much broader scope than just the action. Should I warn for the biggie and remove all shock value, rendering the story pointless since all that build up was focused on something people are already anticipating? I'm not going to shoot myself in the foot.

If there was a warning for hitchcockian mindfuckery I might use that, but since there isn't...

None of the other reviewers seem to mind. If you are somehow this site's complaint department and you've been fielding an inbox full of "oh no she didn't!", please contact me at my email, instead of condescendingly taking it upon yourself to correct my antisocial inability to warn for things that functioning adults can handle.

Yes. I am getting snippy. I'm not breaking any rules, and you are not my mother.

This fanfiction is altogheter too funny XD I loved poor Spock and Kirk... and I adore the four young boys! XD XD XD

I really do XD I think they will make *wonderful* officers soon... and that Jim Kirk won't be too harsh with them.

 

And I bet Spock and Kirk will laugh at this, one day XD maybe soon. I adore your writing as much as the boys, by the way. You really caught life on the Enterprise!

You write very well, but I am not sure if I like this story. The characterization of both Spock and Kirk doesn't ring very true to me, not even as Reboot (Kirk is growing during the movie, and this is one of the thing I loved in it) while here he seems struck on the "pause" button at the bar scene when he meets Pike.

I don't really understand if it is him who exagerates or if he is here really the Worst Captain Ever (and I doubt starfleet would keep giving him missions is he keeps making people die, PR is all very good, but the truth of war reports has a nasty habit of showing up sooner or later).

Also, Spock is... undefinied. I don't understand if he is here for his duty of for friendship (which apparently here doesn't exist, so, scratch that) of for some UST.

In short: the style of this story is breath-taking, and I am not kidding. It is raw but in a good way, strong, and convey all the points. It makes you *feel* what Kirk is feeling, which is good. But the characterizations and motives are rather awry. This feels like a chapter in a longer story throws here for a change. In a longer story it could be explained why Kirk feels like that, why Spock is there, what really happened. Like this, it doesn't make much sense.

I am sorry for the rather brutal feedback :( but I am honest in those things. 5 stars because of your wonderful writing style^^



Author's Response: I'm not going to jump down your throat for daring to criticize my work, no worries. I am, however, going to ask you some questions to help put things in perspective.  Have you ever been very drunk, very angry and very hurt (not to mention feeling guilty and insecure and the rest of the mess of emotion and painful memories that's happening in this story)? If no, then this story will be a stretch for you. If yes, how clear were your perceptions? Can you look back on your thoughts and actions, under those circumstances, and say they were a true and accurate representation of everything that you are when you're not struggling with that kind of pain and anger? Or did you wallow and use your pain to distort reality and see everything through the lens of drunk, angry, and hurt? It's an important distinction to make here, that this is told through Kirk's eyes and he's not exactly in a rational state of mind. Reexamine the story through that lens and Kirk's 'old avenues of self destruction' ( emphasis on OLD, as in habits dying hard - because there is comfort in the familiar, even if the familiar isn't particularly comfortable) and hopefully Kirk's characterization and the POV resolve themselves. If you still think I failed after that, please let me know. The flippant comment on Spock's sense of duty and friendship kind of baffles me. Kirk states explicitly that he feels betrayed because he trusted Spock, makes mention that Spock is one of the few people that he does trust 'to not hurt him'. I'd say that's a pretty strong case for a friendship, at the very least. Now remember that Kirk is drunk and angry and hurt and separate the baggage of Kirks perspective from Spock's reactions. How do they read now? He makes no moves to defend himself, he tries to apologize and he accepts all of Kirk's accusations and punishments and THEN he holds him gently and helps him home. Why would he do that? Surely not just out of duty? Perhaps he thinks Kirk's anger is justified and feels the need to make 'reparations'? As for the actual event leading up to this scene... Kirk is obviously feeling guilty that he didn't make it in time to save the colonists. Further to that, he thinks he should have been able to save them and is angry at himself for not making it in time. Further to THAT he was successful in tracking down the murderers but he doesn't feel he was justified in killing them. I don't need, or want, to write that story so I gave it to you in the first couple of paragraphs. It's the emotion that I wanted here, the what happens after. Now, starfleet obviously disagrees with Kirk's interpretation of events, hence the medal. But Kirk is angry, drunk and hurt so he's spinning everything in the worst possible light.  Then, in addition to not being able to save the colonists, he's facing the fact that he IS capable of 'murder' and having trouble coming to terms with that. Hence, the self loathing and frequent comparisons to his image on the holos and the ubiquitous billlboard. Its a metaphor.   As awful as this is, kirk's also dealing with a deep, personal betrayal, so keenly that he can't even bear to name it in his own head. What was his last threat to Spock? What other allusions does he make to the betrayal? What would someone that holds onto his scars, so absolutely that seeing them removed from a billboard unsettles him, fear the most? Hopefully the story makes more sense now, I deliberately left it ambiguous and unresolved because I wanted it to feel as messy and complicated as real life so often is.

No no... you haven't understood what I was trying to say :)

Being drunk and hurt is all good, but what lacks here, at least what I felt was lacking, is the Thruth about why Kirk is getting drunk. I understand it was wanted on your part, you desired to left it "open". Yet, as much as I can stylistically understand, I must also say that, withouth some background information about the reasons Jim Kirk is getting drunk, I don't think it is In Character with the person he was in the end of the movie.

There is a wonderful story very similar to this about TOS, and it was very credible. Because the author gave us the reason behind Kirk self-destructive approach (to the point of a more serious self-harming than in yours)

All the question marks in your reply to my comment means exactly that: there is something... not here in the story. It lacks something. It is more like a chapter than an one shot, and as a chapter I can't see a sense in neither their reactions. Sure, it could be... a lot of things. But it is undefinied and therefore too vague to make such extreme reactions, on both their part, "adeguate" :)

I would love to see a whole fanfiction about this, that is for sure :)



Author's Response:

Have you ever reached a point in a conversation where you suddenly realized somebody was Just Not Getting It and probably never would?

 

Mine was this: "All the question marks in your reply to my comment means exactly that: there is something... not here in the story."

 

I think we're done now. You're right, this story isn't for you. And if I changed it so it was, it wouldn't be for me.

 

In the meantime, I encourage you to look up the "socratic method" of teaching. Wikipedia is a good place to start.
