Just here for the Spirk πŸ˜ŠπŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ––
Scottish, 38, she/her

gonna be cringe for a sec, but writing gay star trek fanfiction feels like such a big deal to me. here i am, participating in a tradition dating back to the 60s. a tradition thats shaped millions of real lives and changed the way we engage with media forever.

the invention of fanfiction has resulted in friendships and marriages, people moving across the planet to meet likeminded individuals. the fabric of our world changed because of how hard people loved star trek, a show that very nearly did not happen.

i've never cared for my own family history or tradition very much, but feeling connected to those first fanfic writers through my own fic writing is so bizarrely wonderful.

i hope we keep writing gay star trek fanfiction long after we make our own trek through the stars.

I do not care for AOS but the sheer angst potential with Spock Prime keeps me up at night.

Somehow it turned into a shoujo manga halfway through.

Hey Hive Mind,

Anyone else having trouble with links not previewing properly? Usually when I add an AO3 link to a post it displays a preview of the title etc (as pictured) but it won’t do it. Anyone else know why or how to fix it?

Thanks πŸ™

'How We Are (but not how we're going to be)' is an AOS Enemies to Friends to Lovers story with some interesting TOS references. Jim and Spock aren't working well together after the events of 2009, they're butting heads and it's affecting their crew and their ability to command. After an intervention by Bones, they end up in couples counselling to try and address their difficulties in communicating effectively.

If you don't mind your Spirk fics getting a little dark in places, then this is a good one.

Jim gets a threatening message from his Stepfather and, while he keeps his fear and agitation secret, he becomes more and more reckless on missions to the point where he has absolutely no regard for his safety.Β 

Spock, after finding out, has to decide which road to take to handle the situation; staying to comfort Jim or leaving to confront the man causing this pain.

A fun little AOS AU in which, while staying with Spock's parents, Amanda gives Jim a guidebook she created on ow to romance a Vulcan. Unbeknownst to either of them, Sarek has given Spock a similar guide. Fun, antics and hijinx abound! πŸ˜‚

We all love a 'Fake Married' fic right? πŸ₯°Β  In this AOS AU, Jim and Spock meet on a shuttle trip to Vulcan. Spock ropes Jim into pretending to be his spouse in order to avoid his father's continued attempts to bond him to another Vulcan female.

Hilarity ensues!

A good old fashioned 'Aliens Made Them Do It' fic, in which our boys must take part in an alien ritual during which they must 'join'. Do they go ahead with it or risk creating an interstellar incident by offending their hosts?

Oooo this one hits the 'angst with a happy ending' tag just right. Jim confesses his feelings to Spock and asks to become more than just friends. Spock not only declines, but states that Jim is a completely unsuitable mate due to his promiscuity... And then they have to KEEP WORKING TOGETHER!!! 😱😭 😱😭 😱😭 😱😭

If you like Spock POV fics then this one is really good. It's a 200k+ long fic that gives us all the details of Spock's life from his days at the Academy right through the events of 2009 and on into the 5 year mission. It's very much a character study, and does explore his previous relationships, but all roads lead to Spirk. Once they meet it takes on an enemies to friends to lovers trajectory and it's highly enjoyable.

Omg I loved this fic sooooooo much! As with everything written by @jennelikejennay it's an absolute corker of a story. This TOS Master and Commander AU sees James T. Kirk as Captain of the HMS Enterprise as part of His Majesty's fleet during the Napoleonic wars with Britain. He has an extremely capable, if somewhat curious First Mate called Spock, who has strange pointed ears and never smiles. Definitely worth a read!

If you enjoy a heavy dose of angst (with a happy ending) then this AOS fic leans hard into the trope. Some of it is so heartbreaking but it's a great story with a good twist and an ultimately happy ending. There are also some fun references to TOS episodes.

That's a wrap! Today I posted the Epilogue of my first long fic 'A Compatible Match'. If you've been waiting until it was complete on AO3 before binging it all at once then this is your cue to start reading! If you need any more incentive to give it a go then here's a selection of some of the artworks I created for various chapters because, yes, this fic is also illustrated! Thanks so much to everyone who read along as the chapters were being released. Your comments were a constant source of delight and I'm blowing kisses to you all!

In this TOS fic, The crew of the Enterprise are sent on a diplomatic mission to a new planet. Once there they find out that the government use calories as currency to keep the masses starving and subdued. This triggers Kirk's memories of Tarsus IV and he decides he can't just stand by and do nothing.
