I decided to colour this old female Kirk drawing I drew a ways back. Kirk is 100% looking at Spock here.
ID: There is a single shoulders up image of a female version of Kirk. She is staring at the viewer (Spock) with intense bright eyes. She has long golden brown hair and is wearing the TOS Captain’s uniform.
First a bit of context: I have been re-watching The Next Generation and my friend asked who the best character in TNG is. As a joke I said “Ambassador Spock, obviously”. They told me to prove it. So I did - or at least I tried! Enjoy the essay and try to not take it too seriously ;)

Few fictional characters have ingrained themselves as deeply into the American psyche as the logical Mr. Spock. One does not need to be a so-called “Trekkie” to instantly recognize the cool countenance and pointed ears of the world’s most famous Vulcan. However, it would be too facile a task to write about the impact the character of Mr. Spock has had on modern science fiction using his roles in Star Trek: The Original Series and the first six Star Trek movies; instead, I will demonstrate in this paper how despite a severely limited role in the series Star Trek: The Next Generation, Ambassador Spock is still the best character of that entire series.

So a new chapter of First Best Destiny Part 2 by @ophelia-j came out recently and as usual I’m dying of love about it. Please check this spirk fic out if you haven’t read it https://archiveofourown.org/series/2274962 it is off the fucking chain. I know I drew a young version of a very similar pose to this (what can I say I just love the forehead nuzzle for them).
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.
So I’ve been reading The Fate of the Phoenix recently, I’m about half way through, and so far Kirk is bringing the biggest “when my boyfriend hears about this you’re gonna wish you were never born” energy and I am LIVING for it.
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.
