Summary
When Jim died, he left a door open in his mind, and in between life and death, the mind seeks its own purgatory. Thanks to insomnia, sleep paralysis, visions of a botched eugenics experiment, and a planet Jim swears he's forgotten, the Captain's dreams begin to blend with reality.
When you cannot be your own anchor, who can you rely on to remind you of the best parts of yourself?

Summary
A long overdo conversation between Jim and Spock a few days after the events of The Motion Picture
Familiar yet unknown. Just like his ship. That’s what every evening with Spock felt like after Gol. What playing chess with his friend -Did Spock still consider him a friend? Could he call him that? - What playing chess with his first officer felt like. Everything was the same. Their movements almost choreographed. And everything was different.

Always Remain Friends by ForFucksSakeJim
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV)
11 Sep 2025

Summary
Did Spock know? How could he not. How could he have not noticed the way his breath hitched when the Vulcan leaned in too close. How his pupils dilated every time their eyes met. How his heart beat quickened in his chest to the point it felt like anxiety was clawing up his insides.
Spock looked towards the door, then back at Jim, and Jim faked a smile. But something must have given way, maybe his smile didn’t quite meet his eyes. And Spock’s head tilted to the side by just a degree. Almost unnoticeable to anyone but Jim.
“You and I will always remain friends.” Spock said, and didn’t that just drive the nail home. Jim could feel the way it plunged into him, the breath leaving his lungs in one fatal swoop that left a hunger inside of him that he hadn’t experienced in almost 20 years. He swallowed thickly, the lump in his throat felt almost physical.

A Banned Book and a Surveillance Tape by SofiaDragon
Fandoms: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
21 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
Spock has worried over this task for a lifetime, and came up with a failsafe that might just save the Vulcan that exists in the next universe. The failsafe also involves deeply selfish things, but you can't fault an old man for wanting the youth to have more opportunities than he ever could.
He sends drones ahead of him into the black hole, hoping that the automated programming he coded into them will change the past for the better.
Mostly a romantic academy-era drama until a world is ending and they need to stop it from the point of view of the younger Spock and Jim Kirk.
Or: If Jim Kirk can cheat his way out of a no-win simulation with some code, Spock can do it in real life with some time travel.

Loveable by cinnamonroll_ofdeath

Summary
Life proved to Jim that he was unlovable. Between the trauma of his mother abandoning him, Frank's abuse, and the hell that was Tarsus 4, he believed that he was irrevocably broken and his only worth was in what he could do for others. No one would ever love him, least of all someone like Spock.

Summary
If his mother were there, she would tell him he was in love. He would agree. Then his mother would tell him to act on his feelings and he’d refuse her that, because there was nothing to suggest Jim would reciprocate. To risk their friendship would be the most unforgivable thing Spock could imagine.
Spock observes and learns, and believes that is all he can do. Of course the one time he slips up with his emotions, Jim is observing too. The incessant tension since the Khan incident is then dealt with.

After having the best lay of his life on the couch of the sleazy club he bartends at, Jim comes home starry-eyed. Bones, however, couldn't give a shit about his roommate's swooning.

Summary
“Remind me again why we’re here.” Jim murmured to McCoy who stood beside him at the beaming site.
“Starfleet made us.” Bones answered back, crossing his arms over his chest in a protective fashion.
“Did we do accidentally insult someone high up in the chain of command?” Jim whispered, attempting to smile as the planet’s resident native population approached the landing party.
“Not that I’m aware of.” McCoy responded and shifted his hands down to cover his exposed genitals.
“Will you two cease your whispering? They will hear you.”

The Rainbows Contained in Your Skin and Bones by cinnamonroll_ofdeath

Summary
Humans carried the mark of their soulmate's first touch etched into their skin. A pitch black mark that would turn to rainbow when touched by their soulmate.
Vulcans did not have soulmates or soulmarks. And Spock, even with his human half, took after them and did not have a soulmark. This, of course, meant he did not have a soulmate, despite desperately wanting one, right?

As It Begins by ForFucksSakeJim

Summary
Jim deals with his crush on Spock throughout the course of a few days.
The door slides open to darkness punctuated only by the glow of distant suns and nebulae. Jim steps inside, letting the door close behind him before making his way to the wide viewport. His reflection stares back at him, ghostly and transparent against the backdrop of space.
"I'm being ridiculous," he tells his reflection quietly.
The stars offer no argument. They just continue their silent vigil, cold and beautiful and utterly indifferent to the pain of one human heart.
Jim presses his palm against the transparent aluminum, feeling the chill seep into his skin. It’s a familiar cold, and briefly he’s transported back to the day almost two years ago where he died. Hand pressed against the glass as Spock mirrored him, and everything he wanted to say died on his lips.

Summary
Q pays a visit to the original enterprise crew and traps them in a fairy tale, giving them 3 days to awaken "the princess" Spock from a sleeping curse.
---
“Alright,” Jim said to his crew, as he bolted the door shut from any more unwanted visitors. “True love’s kiss was a bust. What’s our next idea?” He said, beginning to pace.
“Maybe we shouldn't throw out the whole idea.'' McCoy pondered.
“Excuse me?” Jim questioned him, stopping dead in his tracks.
“Well I’m just thinkin’, maybe if the princess’s true love isn’t the prince, maybe it’s someone else. Maybe, I don’t know, a knight or something?” He continued, giving Jim a pointed look at this last thought.

Cope by LittleSpeckintheUniverse, YourFaithfulServant

Summary
"Do you know what victims of child sexual abuse tend to do when they get older?" Leonard asked quietly, eyes not lifting from the PADD in his hands.
"What?" Jim was as tense as a pulled rubber band.
"They either become completely repulsed by sex... or become hypersexual in an attempt to cope."
It's like Jim had swallowed an ice cube. He knows.
---
Jim's been coping in not so great ways since Tarsus IV. (He’s been running from his past for years, in sex and adrenaline and starships, and it never works. But he never stops trying. He can't.)

Summary
“You’re the oldest kid I know, sure, but you’re still a kid. I’ll look after you, Jim. Don’t you doubt that. I’m not going anywhere. Now drink up. I’m going to order take-out and you’re damn well going to eat. And you’re not going to class tomorrow. Doctor’s orders.”
AKA 4 times Jim felt older than his years, and the 1 time he felt young and infinite.
