On a personal note, which I rarely share these days, I realised today that when my grandpa and my cat who I’d had for 18 years passed away at the beginning of the year I felt the loss of a significant amount of love in my life. I still have many close family members and friends but with lockdowns and isolation I felt that lack in the extreme. I have loved Spock and Kirk for so long and often drift away from and back to them from time to time and I think one of the reasons I leaned back to them so hard this year was because they make me feel love. Their bond, that no distance can keep them apart, that no obstacle can stand between them, that through everything they find eachother again and again just fills me with love. In all it’s flaws and complications and triumphs. I guess it just meant a lot to me this year especially. To everyone that liked my stuff or reblogged my stuff or commented on my stuff thank you for sharing them with me this year and making me feel that I wasn’t alone. It meant a lot.
This just in: if Kirk and Spock retired together they would have a cat and a dog. The cat would adore Spock and the dog would adore Kirk. But sometimes in quiet private moments each of them would have moments with the other pet. Kirk begrudgingly but secretly happily accepting the cat rubbing up against him while he worked in the garage building something. Spock taking a long walk with the dog gadding excitedly by his side.
Spock and McCoy are trapped in a cave in. Naturally discussion turns to Jim Kirk.
Listen Kirk burning everything he ever cared about to the ground to save Spock is some pop punk level of fucking love.
Pre-Surak Spirk AU
Kirk sighed heavily watching the campfire flames dance. His attempts over the last hour to lure their captured Vulcan warrior into speaking had been fruitless. Kirk’s clan was scattered in the nearby forest; defending, hunting and scouting, leaving only him and the Vulcan behind. He picked up a small rock and flicked it into the tree line, finding the silent inaction of guard duty interminable.
“Perhaps you don’t speak at all then” he said to the flames “seems unlikely with that look you’ve been giving me all night”
He glanced over to see if there was a reaction. The being remained as still as a statue, dark eyes glinting. His raven hair was unkempt from their earlier battle. Behind the gaze was a deep intelligence. He hadn’t regarded Kirk with the anger or fear Kirk had expected of a captured man. More with a thoughtful calculation. Kirk found his intensity and sharp features unnervingly striking.
“Though perhaps you have bewitched me to think that with your mind" he snorted at the beauty.
“Only works if they touch your face”
Kirk nearly leapt out of his skin, drawing his sword toward the voice. McCoy burst out laughing pushing past him to get to the fire.
“Must have ‘bewitched’ you good if you didn’t hear me comin’” The older healer chuckled. Kirk pointedly ignored the Vulcan as he felt heat burning across his cheeks and ears.
“Any word from Pike?” Kirk asked, trying to bury McCoy’s assertion as quickly as possible.
“Some rumours going around that their king’s son is missing" McCoy replied rubbing his hands “not sure if this is him yet though”
Kirk’s head flicked back to their prisoner with surprise.
“Got a name?” he asked McCoy, gaze not breaking from the Vulcans.
“The prince? Yeah” McCoy asked also regarding the Vulcan over his shoulder “It’s Spock”
The Vulcan blinked passively, betraying nothing.

WIP and an AU speed run Slow Burn
So in my mind I have this slow burn that I don’t think I’ll write cause I don’t have the stamina buttttt I will make art about it and give you the outline here:
Kirk captures a Vulcan - who he believes to be a member of an invading force coming to take his people’s lands. The Vulcan refuses to speak and so Kirk is charged with guarding this Vulcan while his leader, Pike, decides what to do with him. Though at first Kirk believes Spock has bewitched him as he finds him to be quite beautiful, and he tells him this, McCoy clarifies that vulcans can only bewitch through touch.
So there’s some fun ‘as feelings develop wanting to touch but not touching’ stuff and some instances of Kirk being protective/caring for spock. Pike eventually discovers that the Vulcan they have caught is the son of the leader of the vulcans - Sarek - and decides to use Spock as a bargaining chip to compel the vulcans to leave. On thier last night before they are supposed to go to meet Sarek Spock finally begins talking and explains a lot of things. He’s like who do you think we are? And Kirks like ‘an invading force from some other land mass’ and after a lot of questions from Spock about Kirks world Spock reveals the vulcans are not from kirks planet, that there are more planets to explore and that the vulcans were not here as an invading force but as a first exercise of exploration. He offers Kirk to go with them and right before kirk is relieved from his guard shift spock tells him that he also finds Kirk to be quite beautiful, referencing their first night hanging together. Anyway there’s some political shenanigans, some on the run shenanigans (I’m kind of still writing it in my mind) obvi they get it on and eventually escape the planet together to explore the galaxy.
Yay! Maybe I’ll add some of the convos to the art and stuff.

I know I recently reposted this but I loved it so much I had to do it again. Kirks face here is both hilarious and amazing. It’s got a massive vibe of “uh…look everyone. This isn’t going how I thought it would but Spock is just so horny and I am super down so if you could y'all maybe clear out? Give us some room, frankly a lot of room, I think we can clear this whole thing up soon. Well not too soon but you get me. Anyway jog on please thank you”
