    Summary

    Kirk is working at Starfleet's Department for Interplanetary Affairs, when he'd rather be in the stars. But he takes comfort from texting with his online chess buddy.

    Spock was born to be a prince, but his speech impediment makes it impossible to fit into his father's plans for him. Only in writing does he show his true self.

    But when they meet in person, not knowing each other's online identities...they could hardly get along worse.

    Summary

    Fanning himself with a printout of some scientific journal that would hopefully be useful to his pre-thesis, Wei Ying moaned, “Ugh, why am I so hot?”

    “Genetics,” Lan Zhan replied, and then he froze, his eyes wide over the edge of his reading glasses, which made Wei Ying freeze.

    Wei Ying is hot. Lan Zhan does something about it.

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Summary

    Enterprise is safe to fly another day. All thanks to Captain James T. Kirk's sacrifice. He's made peace with his death, even though it breaks his heart one final time to see the hurt in Spock's eyes. Still, the last thing he gets to see is the face of one of his dearest friends... until his eyes snap back open. Not in a hospital. In a shuttle as it lands at the Academy.

    “Once you exit the shuttle you are free to return to your dorms. Those of you who are new, you’ll follow me to registration and physicals,” a vaguely familiar-looking officer says, and Jim’s heart stops in his chest. Surprising, considering it shouldn’t be beating at all.

    Summary

    In which Kirk and Spock do indeed end up at a ball (involuntarily) but do not in fact have a good time.

    Ballroom dancing. Just… Ballroom dancing where Jim and Spock are forced to dance together, have ✨feelings✨ as a result and then spend a good one third of the fic trying and failing to not talk about it.
