Mckirk fic, Tarsus IV, focused on friendship between Jim and the crew.

“What about it?” Bones asks gently after Jim has remained silent for a few long minutes.
“I’ve been wanting to contact the other eight.”
.
Jim has a very important decision to make and turns to the ones he love for advice, but things don’t go as planned and his most private’s secret gets exposed for the whole universe to scrutinize.

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛
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.
could you please update the top!spock tag? (I just like me some bottom!jim <3) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING <333
The tag has gotten lo’s new fic since this ask was sent. Also the pon farr tag is mostly Top!spock stories.
Prehensile: An Alien Love Story by Pamdizzle
That trust was the only reason he was here, Jim reminded himself. Spock had come to him, unlearned in the demands of physical need, and confided that he could not seem to ‘alleviate the symptoms’ of his physical arousal on his own. He’d come to Jim for pointers, for Chrissake.
Call Me Brother by Deanna Gray
Based on the TOS episode “Whom Gods Destroy”. When Kirk tells Garth that Spock is his brother, he has no idea the connotations of that word when it comes to Vulcans. But he’s about to find out.
Happy Anniversary by sunshine
Jim seduces Spock.
I Have Mapped the Curves of Your Body by Atilol
Kirk makes Spock lose his logic.
A Different Past by Kerchan
Spock x Kirk. Perhaps they are not so different after all. TOS!Spock x TOS!Kirk, nu!Spock x nu!Kirk.
Dom/sub
Loving You From Top to Bottom by verizonhorizon
Bedroom activities between the lovers spark conflict and (orgasmic) resolution.
Emergency Sex Pollen Contact by TheShinyLizard
“Yes, Spock?” Kirk asked, drowsy with sleep.
“There is a message on my terminal, asking me to be your MDM-Alpha2b emergency contact. Please clarify.”
Encircled by Rynne
Spock has a ring kink, which doesn’t exactly help his control when Jim decides to buy a wedding ring. And wear it. In public.
the aos multiverse fic is DONE!!! thank you so much for reading, i hope y'all enjoyed!! :) <3
each coming night (20121 words) by flipthebits Chapters: 5/5 Fandom: Star Trek, Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James T. Kirk/Spock Characters: James T. Kirk, Spock (Star Trek), Nyota Uhura, Leonard "Bones" McCoy Additional Tags: Post-Star Trek: Into Darkness, POV Multiple, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Grief/Mourning, Mutual Pining, Getting Together, Not Actually Unrequited Love, When you're so in love w each other but so oblivious you manage to piss off an omnipotent being Summary:
At the start of the 5-year mission, Jim is still unsteady from the fallout of the warp core and its impact on his friendship with Spock, but he’s doing a decent job of pretending like he isn’t. Until an omnipotent being decides he could use a day trip to an alternate universe, that is.
Or: A desperately pining Jim crosses paths with a desperately lonely Spock.
anyway here's my top 10 academy era mckirk recs enjoy.
Step 1: Enlist in Starfleet. Step 2: ????? Step 3: Profit. by hellostarling
Jim spends three years at the Academy, and he totally manages it all by himself. Well, Bones helps a little. Or a lot. Maybe.
This is Jim's Starfleet education and all that entails: the ups, the downs, the prank wars, the winter vacations, and the awkward boners.
Once More unto the Breach by AnEscapeFromReality
James Kirk was the rudest student Professor Heleine ever taught. He stomped out of the middle of the professor's lecture like he wasn't a mere cadet. Well, the professor was done putting up with him. If he couldn't sit through an expert lecture, then he should give the lecture about Tarsus. That would teach him some respect.
What Sulu Sees by IsmayDeVain
How Kirk Slowly Endears Himself to His Crew by Becoming a Human Punching Bag, Plunging off a 300 Foot Cliff, Getting Crushed by a Giant Ass Pipe, Nearly Getting Blown to Itty Bitty Bits, and Suffocating Because of His Own Medically Inept Body. (Although, not necessarily in that order.) Or five times Kirk puts his crew before himself and one time they return the favor.
(this is post Star Trek 2009, but it includes flashbacks to the academy so I'm counting it.)
Shelter by schweinsty
Five times Jim told someone about Tarsus IV, and one time they already knew.
The World May Never Know by SadieYuki
How many lies does it take to get to the center of a Jim Kirk?
Or, five times Jim Kirk hid the truth from Leonard McCoy, and one time he finally opened up.
Cpt C. Pike and C/ J.T. Kirk’s guide to unexpected Co-Habitation by InsaneSociopath
When the Admiralty first delivered their ultimatum, Chris Pike didn't know who ought to be more offended; Jim Kirk, for being treated as if he were incapable of being independent despite being twenty-two and a certified genius; or Chris himself, for not getting any choice in who lived in his spare bed room for the next twelve months dammit!
Or: Things Captain Christopher Pike learns about both himself and Cadet James T Kirk during their (not so) brief period of (initially) forced co-habitation.
Leonard H. McCoy's Guide to Keeping a Friend by highschool-facelesshellion (mutalune)
Leonard came to Starfleet with nothing except a half-finished degree and an empty bottle of cheap booze. It took him months to realize he had a best friend waiting in the wings for him to get his act together.
Or: How Leonard made a best friend by being an unobservant but decent person and how his conscience wouldn't let him be undeserving of the kid's freak affection.
Quirks and Their Side Effects by highschool-facelesshellion (mutalune)
Jim Kirk's always been a weirdo.
Leonard could use some more weird.
The Little Things by summoner_yuna_of_besaid
Jim thinks about how he came to this moment: how he just happened to go and visit Bones when the man was with a patient diagnosed with ADHD who was looking to refill his medication. Funny, he thinks as more tears roll down his face and his lips tremble, how the most innocuous little things can change your life, forever.
...
In which Jim Kirk learns about himself and his mind, struggles to understand it, and his friends and family help him handle the fall out.
Any Road Will Take You There by shoreleave
Slow-developing K/M, beginning right after the shuttle ride and showing what happens the first year at the Academy. Told from McCoy's POV.
___
(anyway drop into my inbox to cry with me about aos kirk)
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
Jon comes back as a child and gets adopted by elias (keeping enemies closer)
they try to stop each other’s plan but end up distracted and forming some weird kind of family (jon gets to grow up with more people around him,, and elias / jonah’s biggest fear becomes losing jon to enemies ASLKDLSJF)
i know it’s a bit delusional but i have read three 100k+ word fanfics on this idea and they are all super angsty and unfinished im fucking dyinggggg i just had to let this out because i am Not Okay

If anyone else has any more fics that should be added to list list, please add them!

The Spock of the Kelvin universe objects...quite fervently! 😂 An action packed fic full of idiots in love and evil doppelgängers! Enjoy 😉
