    Summary

    “So, why haven't you settled down with some lucky lady yet?” the interviewer asks.
    Maybe it's the blinding set-lights, or the fact that he hasn't slept in thirty-five hours. But for some reason Kirk blurts, “Honestly, they all end up getting jealous of Spock.”

    Summary

    The admiralty wants Spock to captain his own ship. Neither Kirk nor Spock wants him to leave the Enterprise. When they find a regulatory loophole that might prevent their separation, they take it, and damn the consequences.

    When the implications of their fake relationship begin to unearth secrets from Kirk's past, he's going to have to choose between keeping those secrets or keeping his marriage- and the impact of that decision threatens to shake the Federation to its core.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    What's interesting about this is that it's an AU but you don't realize it's an AU until you're like "wait, what the fuck, Spock ought to know about [spoiler] by this point" and then the rodeo starts.

    Summary

    Sam Kirk’s younger brother James is posted to the Enterprise on a six-month rotation. Spock, preoccupied with thoughts of his sister, regards this as an unique opportunity to study another pair of adult siblings in their natural habitat.

    That is very much not what happens.
