Unintended Okay, there's a reason this is one of the most popular cliches in K/S fic, it's because when it's done well, it's the greatest Kirk/Spock love story EVER OMG.
This is old-school K/S, when Captain Kirk was young and golden and passionate and Spock was repressed and confused and fighting his human nature and against all odds are BFF and the best command team in the fleet and oh, are totally devoted to each other. And that's just the canon.
There are four more K/S fics on her page here. I haven't read them all yet (more K/S omg so happy) but I have read Only Logical, where they're older and teach at Starfleet and I really enjoyed it for the supporting alien character and the pace of it and for Kirk finally getting a clue. Fics set when they're older are never my preference, simply because I don't much like the way Kirk was written in the movies, as though he was getting old and his life was over.
Kirk/Spock was my first fandom, many, many years ago, when I would borrow the fanzines from the local Star Trek club library and wondered what the cryptic references to K/S were and investigated - and obviously never looked back. I still have the zines I bought at stupid prices from over East and from the US. The writing from that time is so dated now. I mean, these people were pioneers. But our perceptions of gay sex and relationships and how we write them has totally changed.
Oh god it's dawn. I went to bed before 11pm and woke up at 2am and thought I may as well set something to download and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cimness had made some offhand reference about Clark/Lex being one of her OTPs and i just went to her site just to look...
Oh god, Bunny will be awake very shortly, and I promised her I'd play with her this morning. I'm an idiot - clearly I should never make promises.
