Summary
Good evening,
Please review the attached photograph and verify that it has aroused you. Furthermore, please provide photographs of your own at your earliest convenience. Thank you, and I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Spock* * * *
After drunkenly making out with a coworker at a mixer, Spock determines to follow up appropriately. Armed with research into socio-sexual behaviours and a list of expected next steps, he initiates what he expects to be a less-than-one-month casual sexual relationship, based on the averages he's observed with Jim's previous flings. He's going to get a good grade in behaving like a normal neurotypical human (something that's normal to want and possible to achieve).

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?

Summary
“Ugh.” Jim’s knife withdrew, and their knee lifted from Lucius’ diaphragm. “You’re wet.”
“Courtesy of everyone’s favourite unhinged pirate captain.”
“Fucking insane motherfucker’s lost his fucking mind.”
A dagger slammed into the panneling mere inches from Lucius’ left ear, and he drew a shaky breath. “Oooo-kay, so you’re, like, really upset about how he’s coping with his breakup, and I get that, I do, but would it really make you feel better to kill me?”
The measured calculation in Jim’s eyes made Lucius regret phrasing it that way.
“What I’m saying is, wouldn’t you rather save all the murder-y stuff for Blackbeard, hm?”
***
or, Lucius decides to haunt Blackbeard to the point of insanity as revenge, because why kill a guy when you can terrorise his every waking moment?

"...Into this buggering holy estate these two wankers came to be joined.”
(He thinks he’s finally getting under Blackbeard’s skin a little. Good. Here comes the only part of this he’s been looking forward to.)
“If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together—”
(unreasonable hope rises like bile in his throat)
“—let them speak now.”
He waits.
Not even the seagull makes a sound.
“Let them speak fucking now.”

Or, Ed and Stede force Izzy to officiate their wedding, and Izzy barely survives the ordeal. -

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
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.
