Gen

Spock goes to talk to Kirk when he first joins the Enterprise. Very well written. Throwing Down the Gauntlet

♥ This is awesome - I was all teary, especially Chekov's part. After Vulcan, Spock recovers his footing. New, And Stumbling Forward

Some really great drabbles and short fics here. My personal favourites are Sulu, deathdefying, and Kirk & Gaila, awkward. (I am totally into the Kirk/Gaila pairing - they complement each other! Drabble Challenge

Hmm this is *technically* gen, in that it's not about two of the characters getting together, but it is Gaila's POV, trying to be friends with Uhura and Gaila focuses on sex A LOT. I like Gaila. The Proper Treatment of Sexorexia

I really like this! Chekov POV - the Captain is bored and ropes Chekov and Scotty into an experiment.
To The Enterprise: of Warp Barriers, Captains, and Other Scary Things

McCoy and Spock - away mission doesn't go well. Et in Arcadia Ego

This is crack but it made me snigger a lot, so...The Love Song of Jim + Mike

Ambassador Spock muses on the changed reality. And in the Bottom of the Box

Crossover - Sherlock Holmes has an odd encounter.A Temporal Deduction

I rarely rec drabbles, probably cos I rarely read them, but there's a couple of very nice 100 word ones here. One Uhura POV, one Kirk POV.

People are mean to Gaila, but someone unexpected intervenes. I love Gaila. Whore

I should just have a separate header for Gaila, shouldn't I? This is pretty much what the title says. And it is very cool. A Brief History of Lt (j.g.) Gaila Aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC 1701)

Short scene from Kirk's stepdad's POV after the car->cliff thing. Iowa

***A mix of Gen and Het*** Half a dozen snippets/commentfic here, including several awesome Uhura-centric ones, and a very cute Kirk/Gaila (I love them!) and also bonus great Abby-centric NCIS ones FWIW. Commentfics


Kirk/Spock/Uhura

This is lighthearted and fun and I love it. Five Times James T. Kirk Tried to Get in on Some Hot Threesome Action with Nyota Uhura and Spock


Spock/Uhura

There's no word in the Vulcan language for lover. This is *beautiful*
A Thousand Words for Snow

♥ ♥ This is not only my new favourite S/U fic, but my own personal canon. (well, not MINE obviously) Break part 1, Break part 2 Break part 3


Kirk/Spock

McCoy observes the intimacy between Kirk and Spock. I would have loved this even without the last paragraph. Gravitational Forces

Hee, this is amusing and there's lots of team interaction. Four Things Jim Kirk Hates About That Pointy-Eared Bastard

Who tops? (Pure porn. Not that there's anything wrong with that).Command Dynamics

This is fairly adorable. 16 Things Jim Kirk Is Allowed To Do In Private: a chronological list compiled by First Officer Spock

For some reason sex pollen fics do not make me run screaming from the dub-con and given my intense aversion to rape/coersion fics I am aware that this makes no kind of sense. But anyway! Sex pollen fic. I liked it a lot. Dubious consent issues. For I Am Exposed


Ambassador Spock/Kirk

Overall I enjoyed this, although I am not really a fan of stories that aren't really supposed to be AU but the author has just changed a bit of canon cos it wasn't convenient or they didn't like it. BECAUSE I'M JUDGEMENTAL LIKE THAT. Also the author has decided that italising for emphasis just isn't enough and has gone that extra mile *I have no words* And yet here is link because I like the idea and it is well written. Also I felt let down at the end, but that's probably cos I wan'ted teh sexxin' not melancholy and looking at flowers. Untitled


Sarek/Winona Kirk

Stately relationship development. Common Bond


Kirk/McCoy

Very funny fic where the crew have a bet about whether Kirk and McCoy are Doing It. I particularly like them all hanging out together scene at the beginning - I love how the crew's interaction's have changed in this universe. Body of Evidence

Hee, very amusing Aliens Made Them Do It fic. First Contact

I'm not a fan of the McCoy pines for Kirk for years until finally his feelings are reciprocated now Kirk's all Mature-like but this is well written and not soppy. Sooner or Later

Ha, I like humorous K/Mc fics! Kirk keeps ending up shirtless. Easy Access

I really like this fic for the progression from the Enterprise first coming back to Earth, to nearly a year later, and Kirk's personal development. Five Times Jim Kirk Turned Down Propositions and Once When He Didn't

Dear god. Chris Pine and Tom Everett Scott play boyfriends in some film. Picspam of DOOM
