Spock - Blog Posts
Fun Fact about Spock:
He won second place in an all-Vulcan music competition for playing the lyre. When asked who took the first place he said “my father”.
It runs in the family, I guess 😁
(From the Book “Star Trek Lost Scenes”)
Also here is this funny interaction between him and Uhura:
It’s really interesting that he says that until now no non-Vulcan could master the lyre and than I find this gif:
Shows again how awesome Uhura is! 😄
[Sorry for the aweful quality, took the pictures with my phone...]
Spock at the beginning of Star Trek The Motion Picture
There are at least three different versions of Star Trek TMP. Many of the differences are small and negligible. But the Original Release is missing this key scene that is found in the Director's Cut and the Remastered Director's Cut. If you haven't already seen it, you need to.
(Yes, this is related to my long post series. My scene analysis here.)

Happy New Year ☺️🥳 In celebration of the day, I present to you a picture inspired by a fun AOS AU fic called ‘Next Best Destiny’ by @rabidchild67 in which a lovably nerdy science officer called Jim Kirk gets assigned to the Enterprise to serve under Captain Spock.
Wishing you all a happy and prosperous 2024 🖖
Currently writing a fic post AOS Into Darkness where Jim wakes up at the end but instead of in the hospital is back at his first day at the academy with 3 years counting down to the events of the first movie.
Would anyone be interested in beta reading? The idea is that through his efforts he slowly becomes more like TOS Jim. Reach out, pls lmk, it’s in rough drafting right now and could use some eyes on it
The concept of Jim Kirk as science officer and Spock as captain cracks me up. There’s Spock trying to run a smooth logical operation and then there’s Jim “hold my beer” kirk in science running outlandish experiments just cause and driving Spock nuts.

Who doesn't love an AOS Pon Farr fic?!
When Jim gets Spock to sign on as his first officer, the last thing he expects is to be handed a classified medical dispensation form. Because Spock’s going to get sick at some point, and he knows it, and the only solution when the time comes will be to haul ass back to New Vulcan.
Not been very active lately 'cause IRL work is kicking my ass ;-; but this AWESOME K/S fic I've been following for YEARS (not even joking) has been updated sooo.... I felt like sketching something!
Check the story out, btw: The Lifecycle of Stars by Azheria on AO3
Just heed the tags, if it's not your jam just move along and leave the author alone, m'kay?

This AOS one-shot is a lot of fun. It's an academy era fic in which Uhura dares Jim to learn any language she chooses, fluently, within one month. If he wins she has to go on a date with him, if she wins he has to report to Admiral Pike naked 😂 of course, if you need to learn to speak Vulcan FAST, it's only logical to go straight to the source and ask for lessons from the only Vulcan professor at the academy.

Enterprise is safe to fly another day. All thanks to Captain James T. Kirk’s sacrifice. He’s made peace with his death, even though it breaks his heart one final time to see the hurt in Spock’s eyes. Still, the last thing he gets to see is the face of one of his dearest friends… until his eyes snap back open. Not in a hospital. In a shuttle as it lands at the Academy.
“Once you exit the shuttle you are free to return to your dorms. Those of you who are new, you’ll follow me to registration and physicals,” a vaguely familiar-looking officer says, and Jim’s heart stops in his chest. Surprising, considering it shouldn’t be beating at all.

spirk fics i've read recently(ish) and loved
My Heart to Your Heart by greenforsnow @m-b-w - TOS - need a gentle fic? this is it. softness pervades every syllable of this fic!
Through the Wall by Sexy_Lil_Emo - AOS - a fic inspired by nsfw fanart. who needs plot with that?
Malfunction by Maeko - AOS - a nice, short nightcap when you need something sweet to read before bed
Impulse (or, Three Kisses) by decidedlynotheterosexual @decidedly-not-heterosexual - TOS - spock loses control but in the *sweetest* way and they talk about it like adults and this is just soothing and nice
The Proposal by TheKittyCorps @contrascene - AOS - spirk version of "the proposal." laugh out loud funny in parts (yes, hijinks included)
Heirs to the Glimmering World by gunstreet @gunstreet - SNW/TOS - sybok, michael, and sam conspire to get their brothers together!! siblings! tentative first meetings! sex!
De Profundis by Rhaegal (RhaegalKS) - TOS - tmp-era spirk. spock knows he fucked up so he's gonna woo jim
The Kiss by awarrington - TOS - there are some super dated things in this fic (it was originally written in 1994) but this is one of the best i've read dealing with jim coming to terms with his bisexuality and attraction to spock. def don't read if you can't or don't want to take it in context of its time. if you can/have the emotional bandwidth to, then it's well worth it
On the Arrow by Fic_me_senseless - AOS - post-into darkness, heavy read, so much longing, and pain, and it makes you ache in the best way
i'm also in a "watch beyond on repeat phase" so here are my favorite post-beyond fics:
The Steadfastness of Stars by itsnatalie - AOS - this fic. THIS FIC. i was only going to read one paragraph, really. i skipped work, read the whole thing, and now this is in my top five spirk fics
in my life, i love you more by spaceisgay (ChancellorGriffin) - AOS - idek how many times i've read this now. i watch beyond, i read this fic. if they never make a fourth movie, this will be my canon
And Then I Let It Go by kianspo - AOS - yorktown happens, spock goes missing, jim goes after him. this could so be canon too
on the complete opposite side of post-beyond angst is two (YES TWO, we are so blessed!) "spock makes jim coffee" fics that will both make you smile and feel warm all over:
Home in a Mug by Lizzy0305
certainty relief by itsamew @enterprise-me-capn
and (because i can never quite seem to keep these lists solely focused on spirk) one AOS mckirk fic:
retro/spect by slightlycrunchy @slightlycrunchy - best friends to lovers anyone? this is just so so so lovely!

I found this one an interesting take on a Pon Farr fic. Its AOS and the destruction of Vulcan, and resulting severing of countless mental bonds, has set off a wave of premature mating cycles for a remaining Vulcan males, including Spock. It really highlights the mental turmoil of the Plak Tow and the complete stripping away of logic, reason, compassion or any other remnant of self. It does have some tags for possible trigger warnings so check them out before diving in. It was intense in places but I found it compelling and enjoyable 😊

I present to you an AOS fake marriage fic of the best kind! 😁
The brass are trying to force Spock into a command of his own, something in which Spock has no interest as he would rather focus on his science duties and stay on the Enterprise. Well versed in regulations, our cunning Vulcan explains that if he and Jim were legally married then Starfleet couldn’t split them up and he’d be free to remain in his current post. What could possibly go wrong!?! 😂😂😂

This is a lovely AOS fic by the excellent @museaway. After their battle with the Narada the Enterprise crew are back on Earth and Jim takes off to his farmhouse in Iowa to escape the media frenzy. After a bit of miscommunication he finds Spock on his doorstep with a bag and reluctantly inherits a house guest. This is a lovely, gentle fic where they get to know each other better in the aftermath of shared trauma.

‘A hell of his making’ is a great AOS fic full of angst, and don’t we all love some angst when it comes to our boys! 😂 Spock is struggling with the knowledge that Jim is his T’hy’la but that he has been harmed by Spock’s own hands (choking him on the bridge) one of the most grievous transgressions in Vulcan culture. How can he reconcile his guilt and self recrimination and find a way to remain at Jim’s side?

A lovely AOS fic today 😊 In the midst of Vulcan's destruction, Jim Kirk saves the life of a Human woman he only later learns the name of: Amanda Grayson. It isn’t long before Spock finds gratitude transforming into a crippling and terribly inconvenient attraction. 😂

A superb AOS short story by @cate-adams, in which, having lost his own T'hy'la, Mirror Spock comes looking to claim the Jim of the Kelvin timeline as his own to soothe his broken bond.
The Spock of the Kelvin universe objects...quite fervently! 😂 An action packed fic full of idiots in love and evil doppelgängers! Enjoy 😉

This is probably a bit of a Marmite fic... (and for those of you who aren't from the UK, that's a reference to an old marketing campaign that stated "you either love it of you hate it" lol)
It a pretty intense AOS Pon Farr fic, which delves deep into the writers interpretations of Vulcan biology and what goes on during their Time. If you like Feral!Spock then there's a lot to recommend it. And if you like your smut GRAPHIC then you're in for a treat!
If you're of a more sensitive disposition then this one may not be for you, but I enjoyed it and hope a lot of you will too! 😊

If you like your Spirk fics hot, then watch out because this one is practically on fire! 🔥🥵🔥
Just returned from a difficult space mission and about to begin teaching at Starfleet Academy, Spock chooses a logical way to relieve stress: a sexual encounter with someone he'll never meet again. But when Spock discovers his partner of one night is Jim Kirk, a promising new cadet at Starfleet, he's torn between his rational decision to avoid intimate relationships and his increasing fascination with Jim. As Spock's normally orderly life starts to spin out of control, will his obsession with Jim prove his salvation or his undoing?

This is a phenomenally good AOS AU fic in which Spock and Jim live next door to each other as kids and are bonded. When the bond breaks Spock believes Jim dead. Imagine his surprise years later when he spots him on the Starfleet Academy campus!
It’s one of my favourites and definitely worth a read 🥰
