I’m reading the old Star Trek books from the 70s hunting for vintage spirk and in a fun short story from Star Trek: The New Voyages 2 Kirk and a bunch of other crew members accidentally end up swapping genders (but not Spock 👀). It’s a 70s look at this idea so it’s pretty problematic but it does delve into some interesting thought processes especially considering it’s written by women. I would love to see a modern Star Trek show like Discovery take a crack at this especially now that we think about gender and identity differently than we did then. Anyway from an early time in the story everyone keeps going on about how beautiful kirk’s female body is so I thought I’d give drawing it a try.

Spock roused from his sleep with the feeling of a gentle palm brushing against his forehead. He took in the dishevelled and beaten sight of his Captain.

“Captain” he whispered voice rough “You are fatigued”

“Don’t fret” Jim said warmly “there’s a break in the fighting so I’ll rest a moment. How’s the stomach?”

Spock hesitated for before replying

“Intact”

“Thought it might have hit one of your hearts. For a moment I-” the words died in his throat and Spock felt the hand by his side tense into a fist “I’m glad it missed”

“The crew will be here soon. I’d tell you it’s going to be ok but I’m worried that you might strain something explaining the lack of data to back that statement up” he said and in his face Spock read something peculiar. He assumed it was delirium but here, in the height of their peril, Jim’s face seemed to glow with adoration.

“Jim” he hushed.

“Yes?”

“It is quite illogical” Spock spoke the words he somehow knew Jim wanted to hear. Jim looked like something had snapped inside him. He leaned forward and kissed Spock’s brow.

“Rest” He said “that’s an order, Mister”
