I will try to keep these short, to make them faster. XD;
BACKLOGGED ON KIRK/MCCOY
I Still Miss Someone, by Person Of Unknown LJ
Kirk/McCoy implied. Bones has a near-death experience featuring Johnny Cash (and others).
Until The Morning, by
sarkasticfics
Kirk/McCoy. The one where the prompter got tired of those fics where McCoy is the grumpy roomie who always stays in, so now he's a dom at a bdsm club instead, and it works pretty much just as well. This grew sequels when I wasn't looking, which is as good an argument for revisiting one's bookmarks as any.
Twice Shy, by
sarkasticfics
Kirk/McCoy, Spock/Uhura. Aaaaand by the same author, the one where Bones is a werewolf. And it works pretty much just as well. IT'S ALL A METAPHOR YOU SEE.
Hand-to-Hand Combat and Psychological Warfare, by
cymbalism219
Kirk/McCoy. But then again, why mess with the grumpy roomie setup when you've got a good thing going.
VULCAN MIND MELDS
Mind Over Matter by Maybe They'll Own Up Someday
Kirk/Spock. Wherein Kirk volunteers to teach Spock Sex Ed, sort of. There's an essay here somewhere re: Vulcan biology as female coding (reading Mary Roach's book on current sexology research, and anyhow knowing Trek fandom it's already been written), but mostly it's hawt.
Standard Issue Uniform by
blackpsychi (WIP and likely to remain so)
Kirk/Spock, Kirk/Spock Prime sort of, there were Klingons involved, you know how it is. Another take on the crossdressing on a dare meme, but more connected vignettes than tightly plotted oneshot.
To The Best Of My Recollection by
svilleficrecs
Kirk/Spock, Kirk Prime/Spock Prime. One of the best "that meld on Delta Vega was kind of screwy" fics; unexpectedly punchy and bittersweet.
NUMBERED LISTS
Five Things That Were Named After James T. Kirk, And The One That Actually Wasn't, by If Only I Knew
Gen. The "Crazy Jim" may be feasible in RL if one swapped the Saurian brandy for real brandy and the Romulan ale for that Stroh 80 stuff I blogged about. For certain values of 'feasible'.
Thirteen Times Something Jim Kirk Learned During Xenosex Saved Their Bacon On A Diplomatic Mission, And One Time It Totally Fucked Them All Over, by Who Needs Names Anyway
Kirk/Spock. I nearly forgot to write a summary blurb; it really doesn't need one. XD;
Inappropriate! by
tanathir
Kirk/McCoy, Kirk/Spock. The one where Kirk never bothers to get into uniform before responding to an emergency. (This is a double fill, and the meme is peppered with variations on the theme to boot.)
TRANSPORTER ACCIDENTS
Switch, by
lovelyzelda
Kirk Prime/Spock. You know the drill: BeamMeUp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience, etc. TOS!Kirk is chill like every Starbucks in the multiverse basically serves the same venti soy latte, and he's right.
Man Bites Dog, by
waketosleep
Kirk/Spock. Mind you, this particular Starbucks serves Vulcans in lieu of Romulans and vice versa.
Vulnerable, Fragile Little Human and Inhumanly Strong, Over-Protective Boyfriend by No Name Here Either
Kirk/Spock. The first is fluffy h/c, the second involves musings on power dynamics.
Title Unnecessary, by
callieach,
tanathir
The one where the transporter h0rks on the uniform fabric. Another double fill.
CROSSOVERS
To Become Immortal, First You Have To Die, by
shadowloverk
Trek/Highlander, gen. Employs what is essentially the same structural gambit as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
The Dangers of Guests, by
dagnirovanaliel
Trek/Colbert Show/spoilers, not gen but that would also be spoilers. How can you resist my detailed summaries? XD;
The Flying Graysons, by
alphabet26
Trek/DCverse, gen. Not gonna lie, it's the first thing I thought of.
FANFICTION ABOUT CATS ON THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE
The Enterprising Cat, by
mockingbirdq
Mentions of Sulu/Chekov, Spock/Uhura. It's a fic about a cat on the Starship Enterprise innit.
When The Enterprise Had Kittens, by
tkp
Mentions of Spock/Uhura, plus loads of diffuse UST. More about the UST than the kittens, if you ask me - not that there's anything wrong with that.
Cat-tain Kirk, by Lurking First-Timer
Nekomimi!Kirk/Spock. Yes, they did.
SOCIAL NETWORKING, MMORPGS, 4CHAN, AND OTHER MEMES OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Sulu Has Friended You On Spacebook! by
imamandajulius
Sulu/Chekov. No one mentioned the "it's complicated" option, evidently.
Kobayashi Maru, Warcraft Edition by
snowlight
Gen I guess? Does it even matter? NIGHT ELF GIRLS, YO. NIGHT ELF GIRLS.
JIM CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER by Surely We In The Collective Must Know Who This Is
Kirk/McCoy. The lolcat fic that everyone's surely read at this point and I've recced elsewhere, but seemingly not here. For archival purposes. XD;
