Fic-Rec Tuesday!

If you are ever in the market for a SUPREMELY HOMOEROTIC Star Trek book, The Price of the Phoenix is for you (if the cover alone didn’t give that away).  

Oh, and not only are Kirk and Spock clutching each other and mind-fucking in this scene, Kirk is completely 100% naked.

A Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day rec-list

So, I heard people are celebrating fanfic authors today, and I wanted to take the time to share some of my all-time favorites! (all are Gravity Falls)

Blind Faith, by @pinesinthewoods

Behold, the fic that firmly dragged me into the Gravity Falls fandom! I remember scrolling through GF fics on Ao3 for the first time, and this was one of the very first I read. It’s dark, has heaps of glorious Stan twin angst, and still lingers in my mind to this day.

Towards the Sun, by @pinesinthewoods and @notthistimespock

Out of every single fic I’ve ever read, this one succeeds the most in getting inside the character’s heads. A bit of a canon divergence where, to save Stanley, Ford must confront his brother’s darker side within the mindscape. (Admission: I cried on multiple occasions while reading this.)

Flat Dreams, by PengyChan

I once told myself I’d never feel pity for a triangle. I was bitterly wrong. An amazing imagining of Bill’s childhood, early life, and rise to power… with lots of inspiration from Edwin A. Abbott’s Flatland. 

Stars and Trees, by jikanet_tanaka

A set of small scenes and vignettes of Stan’s life, from childhood to present. All of them are focused on the theme of family, and how Stanley relates to the idea over time. They’re very feels-y and sweet, and characterize Stan so well! 

The Wind in Visions, by @the-stan-twin and @the-ford-twin

Ah, where do I start with this? Probably the most pure examples of Fiddauthor and Mabifica I can think of. I adore the heaps and heaps of Pines family bonding in this and the slice-of-life feel it has… and yet there’s this feeling of something serious building in the horizon, and wow, I can’t wait to see what happens next with that!

Blue Bayou, by The_Lionheart (@icefeels)

The most fascinating take I’ve seen on Ford’s multiverse years. It features a very well developed OC, (honestly one of the best I’ve seen in this fandom), who becomes Ford’s traveling partner. Their interplay is equal parts hilarious and emotional at times, and is very deep without seeming forced. I really recommend this- it could use SO much more love! (It only has about 100 hits… and that needs to be changed ASAP! :D)

The Triboelectric Effect, by @aroford

An amazing what-if centering around the idea of Stan and Ford accidentally swapping bodies on the electron carpet, way back in ‘82…

Spock could not accurately describe the sensation he was experiencing. It was new to him. It was as if he had suddenly stepped into the circumference of enveloping warmth. There was a strange tugging wanting to pull him forward, and if he had to compare it to something he might say it was similar to the gravity belonging to a star.

Jim’s mental presence had never felt like this before. What was happening?

Fic

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.

I don’t have a specific Anxious Jim head canon (yet), but I was wondering if you could explain to me this common fanon idea about Jim’s anxiety with food? What is it based on? I’m not trying to argue, I’m just curious!!

For sure. 

So we have confirmation that in The Original Series, Jim was on Tarsus IV. Tarsus IV was a colony settlement that was hit by a severe famine after their crops were blighted in 2246. The governor of the colony, Kodos, panicked and made the decision to save half the colony (around 4,000) by exterminating the other half in favor of survival for the “better” of the colonists, based purely on eugenics.  

Staging a political coup and taking full control of the settlement, he made two lists: one list of who would be allowed to live, and another of those who would be sentenced to die. Gathering up the latter half, he delivered an address to the colonists: 

“The revolution is successful. But survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives mean slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore, I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered, signed Kodos, Governor of Tarsus IV.” 

This event came to be known as “The Sacrifice”, and just over 4,000 people were put to death in one fell swoop. 

Supplies and aid came sooner than anticipated. The Sacrifice was not necessary, but corrupt politics and eugenics had already taken their toll. Jim Kirk– as well as Kevin Riley– were survivors of the massacre. They are among 9 survivors that can positively identify Kodos the Executioner on sight. 

We do not know which list Jim was one, but fanon suggests that Jim– a young teen at the time of the massacre– rounded up those he could find and did his best to take care of them. He called them “his kids”, and he put himself at risk to provide them with what little food and shelter he could. 

The Alternate Original Series has made brief, fleeting mention of Tarsus in Into Darkness, and fanon has decided that as there are constants in every timeline, Jim was most likely on Tarsus then, as well. 

As such, having been in a highly stressful and traumatizing situation for an undetermined amount of time, fighting for survival and denied adequate food and nutrition, it stands to reason that Jim has some food issues. 

Let me know if you have any other questions! I’ll do my best to answer!

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

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.

hey do you know he fic based off the enemy within only spock beams up and its his human and vulcan half and im like 65% sure its AOS but i might be wrong... but yeah sorry thas all i remember about it, i was only one chapter in...

This could actually be a couple of fics:

My Own Worst Enemy by ketsu_rei

Kirk is split into good/evil and Spock is split into human/Vulcan.

I had to use the wayback machine for this so the layout is fucked iM SORRY

Spock? Or not to Spock? by Kerchan

Somehow Spock has been split into his two conflicting halves! One is Human and one is Vulcan but they can both agree on one thing: they want Jim.

Dissolution by mithrel

Spock gets split into his human and Vulcan halves.

If none of these are it just send me another ask because I’m sure there’s more!

Update by Miriam

There’s also a multi-chaptered fic where Spock gets split in his Vulcan half and his human half for a few chapters

Evolution by Rhaegal

Summary: In his first year in command of the USS Enterprise, James T. Kirk must gel his new team together, adapt to his abrupt change in status over his friends, and deal with falling for his first officer. And, of course, there’s always someone out to threaten the galaxy.

And Sammi the splitting isn’t used for just smut

Reccomendation

The Perfect Man by zoetrope13

Spock and Kirk met young and promptly got bonded. Now they are at the Academy together but don’t broadcast their relationship. Uhura, who thinks Kirk could never do monogamy, starts crushing hard on Professor Spock.

monsterdib: so I really love this fic and I wanted to share it with you guys! You’re all so awesome and I thought since you’re always reccing fics you might be up for receiving one. Hope you enjoy and Happy holidays :D
