"Do you guys ever think about how Spock lived all those years wearing the hologram pendant where Kirk tells him 'You once said that being a starship Captain was my first, best destiny... if that is true, then yours is to be by my side'?"
#learning that the crew decided the cameo ''wasn't powerful enough'' and ''pandered too much''...I'm homicidal#like tell me you forgot their relationship is always the crux of their stories without telling me#kirk ending his message with ''if there's any logic in this universe you and i will be back on that bridge'' AND THEY WERE.#THEY FOUND THEIR WAY BACK. THAT'S THE WHOLE INTRIGUE OF THE BRANCHING TIMELINE#the writers were in this lovely open field and then built a shed to HAVE A CORNER TO WRITE THEMSELVES OUT OF#FUCK this upsets me. not even just as someone who loves the original enterprise crew in all their iterations#or even just a spirk girlie in general#but as someone who loves writing with her whole being the choice to back out of this ending PROFOUNDLY upsets me#tinfoil-hat moment is that I'm fully convinced shatner was just too expensive.#aos#spirk

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!

Random Star Trek Headcanon:
Bones keeps everything his friends give him. He keeps up the cranky cantankerous image, sure. But you can see the little gifts littered throughout his office.
Sulu gave Bones a plant. He takes care of it, talks to it, and sure as hell makes sure to keep it alive.
Chekov gave Bones a Russian nesting doll. He keeps it on a shelf with his books and old medical texts. A pop of color against old brown leather.
Scotty gave Bones a bottle of whiskey. A very old bottle. Bones keeps it in his desk drawer for the really good days, or the really really bad.
Uhura gave Bones a couple of coffee mugs that he uses often. One she found at a farmers market in San Francisco. Crafted tin with bull horns etched on it with the words "Do no harm, But take no Bull". Another is clay, crafted in her hometown in Kenya. Adorn with colors and patterns. He loves them.
Spock gave Bones a piece of Vulcan. An ancient statue that depicts a healer and guardian of the innocent. It's a part of Vulcan's history before Surak. Well, the good parts before Surak anyway. Bones keeps it on a shelf behind his desk with a few pictures of his family, and friends.
Jim gave Bones something very important. Nothing material. Kirk gave Doctor McCoy to boldly go and save, inspire, nurture, and care for not only the crew of Enterprise but so many others across the universe. These accomplishments hang on his wall. Awards, combinations, and the smiling happy faces of everyone he had helped. And the smiling faces of the people around him, his friends, his family.
So despite his fear of space and flying through the unknown he is eternally grateful and would follow Jim Kirk to hell and back. He would follow any of them.
So he keeps everything he is given no matter how silly or insignificant.
When the Enterprise went down on Altamid he was heartbroken for all the people they had lost. When everything settled and crew members were patched up, healthy, or mourned he went back to Altamid with the recovery crew. He officially closed the cases of the missing and dug out everything of sentimental value himself.

controversial opinion maybe:
I KNOW. i know. hear me out
i saw a couple edits on tiktok of mcspirk to soldier poet king and like. i’m not putting anyone on blast but good lord some of those choices made my head hurt. it’s taken me a couple days to synthesize my reasoning for the superior choice (as pictured above), but here goes:
the problem with assigning characters to soldier poet king comes when you take it at face value, flattening the paradigm to angry-sad-tired or violent-artsy-authoritative. if we want to get down to the root of it, the song is based on the threefold office of christ as priest (soldier), prophet (poet), and king. like i’m not christian, but on a textual level it gives us context: the concept that as prophet jesus gave us counsel and words of wisdom, as priest he sacrificed himself to redeem us, and as king he provides for, defends, and forgives us
maybe the most famous priest/prophet/king (& thus soldier/poet/king) allegory in all of literature is frodo, gandalf, and aragorn. frodo bears the burden, though he wishes he did not need to; gandalf offers words of wisdom and mercy; aragorn is a born leader, on the front lines with sword in hand, ready to die with his men if he must
KING: capt. james t. kirk is the easiest one to place. it is a burden and a privilege, an honor and a horror to have the lives of so many depend upon you to make the right call under fire. he makes the call. he leads the landing parties, he puts himself at the head of the charge because by god he is not about to send his men into a battle he wouldn’t fight himself. he leads—with heart when he can, steel when he must—and people follow him. bones and spock are always right behind because they believe in what he believes in, and more than that they believe in him
POET: bones serves as kirk’s emotional sounding board, his moral peer review. he lends an ear, and the word of an old country doctor who’s seen much and understands more. man has ascended to the heavens, to hurtling through the void in a glorified tin can, and it would be no great hardship to forget that our place in the universe is not that of higher life—we are not as quasi-gods, moving pieces on the great three-dimensional chessboard, but flesh and blood, and we must attend to each other. bones tempers the pure logos and rationality offered by spock; he offers grounding in this age of technology that wrinkles the fabric of reality, offers the kind of emotional intellect that cannot be taught, and has always been sorely needed
SOLDIER: this is the one where you really get tripped up by surface-level analysis. yes, spock is reserved and collected. yes, vulcans are pacifists (as you may recall, so are hobbits, and yet frodo remains the soldier in allegory)
the thing about vulcans, though, is that despite the vegan pacifism, they are warriors. it’s tangled up in their history and their DNA. the koon-ut-kal-if-fee survived through centuries of analytical dogma for a reason; even now, they cannot wholly escape their inheritance of violence. their forefathers ran the sands of vulcan red with blood. they venerate logic and condemn emotionality so that they will not
your average high-achieving vulcan, probably on the path to kolinahr, commits their lifetime to the pursuit of knowledge at the vulcan science academy. it’s a measured, rational decision. a controlled environment, where there will never be any logical reason to resort to violence
spock joins starfleet
he joins starfleet, and pursues knowledge in the vast unknowable universe. there is reason for violence, frequently. and sure, the purpose of their mission is peaceful. it’s true that spock would rather resolution be reached without force. but a soldier needs not want to be a soldier. he only needs go to war
when it comes down to blows, he will match them. he makes the sacrifice play, jumps on the grenade, goes into the radiation-soaked engineering room alone. it’s only logical, after all
spock is there to pick apart the universe, unravel the threads of logic until it all makes sense. bones is there to stitch it up. kirk is the hand that holds it all steady, the gravitational field that binds the people of the enterprise to their purpose. soldier-poet-king, commander-doctor-captain. it’s a story old as dirt, and we’ll keep telling it, i think
