Summary:
“What am I missing?” Jim said, cocking his head.
“You,” Uhura said, pointing at him and then his First Officer, “and Mr. Spock have to kiss each other. And not just a peck, sir. A full-on embrace. With a modest amount of tongue. That was very clear in the brief they sent.”
Next to Jim, Spock breathed in deeply and said, “Ah.”
Jim stared at Uhura. “Uh… Can you check it again?”
hi liz please can you give me a spirk fic rec (besides yours, obviously i’ve already read that) (something with good spock characterization would be great!!)
HELLO sorry for taking so long to get back to you. this is haaard bc so many of my favs also involve the ot3 (bones i love you) and also i wanna make a longer rec list someday but i am going to give you just a few that come to mind first so that this doesn't languish forever in my ask box. i'm not copypasting summaries notes etc like i would for a Proper Rec List so please READ THEM read the warnings everybody always read warnings. mix of aos/tos since u didn't specify and since you read mine i'm assuming you don't mind either <3 and in no particular order. ok here we go <3
Bare Your Faces of the Veil by flippyspoon - TOS - spock gets split into human and vulcan halves and he is really dead forever (until he isnt). this one actually got me misting up, it was awful, and it's more kirk-centric, but it's really good
anchor by Sir_Bedevere - TOS - post plato's stepchildren coda. it's again mostly kirk but also very quiet and a really good comedown from All Of That
The Black Knight and the Moon by Waid - AOS - pon farr fic will absolutely fuck you up. double read the warnings on this one bc it's not just sad it's EXTREMELY upsetting, intentionally extremely upsetting, but it's probably the best characterized AOS spirk fic and most realistic thought experiment i've ever read
Grief as a four-dimensional figure by Moreta1848 - mostly AOS with some TVH elements - everyone goes back in time to try and save vulcan. GREAT spock stuff in this one. i bonus rec most of this author's stuff actually (they have an au of earth being hit instead of vulcan in aos and tos intersex spock) - a lot of it is verrry long but i read as they update so the little pieces are fine.
Cosmic Fuck series by Gayle F - 1 2 3 4 - TOS - this is just straight smut, but it's VINTAGE smut, and also first fic to feature the famous vulcan double ridges. the last one is the first ever kirk/spock/bones (sorry i know you said spirk) so it's just full of historical relevance. sometimes the smut gets a little weird (the first fic is technically a dubcon situation because of pon farr and in the last fic they get off on a tangent about toe-sucking) and since it's not tagged you do have to go in a little blind. i've only read the middle two once and don't remember them well (so i can't help you out with warnings) but i reread the last one alllll the time. it's a really refreshing writing voice and feels so different from fanfic today wrt to how it talks about sexuality. the final fic (SORRY AGAIN) stands well on its own and is actually my fav TOS fic of all time <3
Jim Kirk Playlist
I love listening to music to get inspired. This has manifested itself into playlists for the main seven in TOS and AOS. I don't have playlists for specific ships just because I have so many so all the songs for all my ships for a certain character are an amalgamation of angst and fluff!
This is mainly for AOS btw, and I've only included the non-shipping ones that are included in my timeline. Let's go!
Run Boy Run | Woodkid- Tarsus IV, Jim was chosen, he ran away and collapsed in the arms of a Starfleet officer
San Francisco | Scott McKenzie- Jim exploring Starfleet Academy in his first week there
Mambo No.5 | Lou Bega- Jim having fun 😉
Golden | Harry Styles- This is the most shippy this is going to get, but only because this is in every timeline for all of my ships. It's Jim and Bones friendship during the academy years, how they're the only people that truly understand each other. But it's also Bones developing a crush on Jimmy boy, this also contains an "I'll patch you up after a bar fight but you're going to get flirty scolding too scene"
I Love to Boogie | T Rex- Just Jim and Bones drunk off their tits dancing once exams are over
Honky Cat | Elton John- I just need Jim getting ready for the day to this song, it's a great montage song
Let Us Adore You | Steven Universe the Movie- This just makes me think of the Admirals loving Jim when the 5 year mission starts because he's living up to his father, finally
Space Oddity | David Bowie- I imagine that Ambassador Spock left Spock a load of Old Earth pop culture things he found, one of them is this song. So he and Jim listen on the observation deck with the gravity off
Escapism | Steven Universe- This is inspires a scene in a fanfiction I'm currently drafting, so no spoilers 😉
And now some non-shippy Jim vibes!
Sexyback | Justin Timberlake- Do you need an explanation?
I'm Too Sexy | Right Said Fred- See above comment (also the video I put in was by Putnik68)
Cut to the Chase | Rush- Jim training, maybe anti gravity training or with new tech
Love Like You | Steven Universe- Self-esteem issues with Leonard and Spock but they all think this about themselves and the others
Other Friends | Steven Universe Movie- Mirror!Kirk, maybe he finds some of his officers have joined the resistance?
Here Comes a Thought | Steven Universe- Anxiety and feelings ☹
7 Rings | Ariana Grande- Just imagine the main 7 being sassy to this
Candyman | Christina Aguilera- Jim being sexy yet again, maybe some dancing too
Seaside Rendezvous | Queen- This song is a bop but full of crack, they probably just sing this after too much wine, or fruit cocktails for Spock
Strangers | Taemin- Just undercover spy vibes
What do you think of my choices? Do you have any songs that scream Jim? I hope you enjoyed listening to this, I'll probably do Spock next because, trust me, Bones has many many songs in his playlist!
