Summary
“I have a…” Jim shakes his head. “I have a tattoo of Spock’s name on my ass?”
Uhura nods, silent.
Of course. Of course he fucking does. Because life couldn’t possibly only be cruel enough to deposit at Jim’s side the most intelligent, incandescent, and attractive man from here to the end of the universe - couldn’t simply make that same man loyal to a fault or attuned to Jim’s every move - on top of it all, life just had to drive Jim’s head into that same fumbling brick wall every single time. He can’t even be angry at himself, only disappointed. Jim should have known that what is most important to him could only ever have been Spock.

Summary
My take on a classic trope- Kirk and Spock have to pretend to be gay for a mission. Despite the dangers of traveling to Romulan space, Spock is keen to use this unusual mission as an opportunity to introduce his oblivious captain to the idea of the two of them having a relationship.
However, Spock soon realizes that he might be in over his head when he finds himself having to mingle with a very unprofessional crew of Romulans. The various stresses of the deception prove to be exceptionally difficult to handle, and his emotional control begins to falter quickly. While his Captain is starting to warm up to their performance just as he had hoped, the Romulan response to his actions ends up being very unpredictable, and there is still an unexpected hurdle to overcome before they can return to Federation space safely.

Summary
Exploring how Kirk and Spock's relationship develops through season 1 with a focus on touch telepathy. Kirk disobeys Starfleet's advice about not touching Vulcans, but it actually improves and deepens their relationship. Later, after witnessing Spock meld with the Horta, his curiosity causes Kirk to request his own mind meld. This ultimately triggers unexpected pon farr related consequences, which Kirk then struggles to deal with.

Spock said "Give me your hand," and it was on the table palm up in front of him before Jim had even thought about it. Spock brushed two fingers against his, just for a second, and then leaned back and steepled his hands in front of him in a way Jim recognized as confronting a difficult problem.
"Ah." Spock said, and nothing more.
"Ah what?" Jim prompted impatiently, clenching his outstretched hand into a fist.
"I wished to know whether this curiosity of yours was merely an idle wondering, or if it was something deeper."
"And?" Jim challenged. "What did you feel from me?"
Spock spoke very seriously. "It is *not* an idle wondering. You burn with a desperate hunger to know, and if I do not provide satisfaction, the curiosity will consume you."

Summary
While they submitted to their medical examinations, Spock did his best to keep from watching his captain too closely, but he found his eyes drifting that way again and again.
It was illogical, he told himself, to feel as though he were seeing Jim again for the first time in weeks. The space they had shared in New York had been one intended for a single human. They had breathed the same cold air in that one room, and all but tripped over each other with every movement.* * *
Which is to say, Edith Keeler had to die, so now Jim can't sleep alone, and Spock doesn't really understand grieving humans, but he's pretty sure it's inappropriate to express romantic interest in Jim while he's still mourning someone else, which would all be a lot easier if Jim weren't in his bed, wouldn't it?
