Kirk and Spock temporarily have charge of a kid.

He knew the calm before a storm when he saw it. And one had been brewing for weeks now.

This is not exactly what Jim thought the 'exploring strange new worlds and exotic civilizations' was about. Also, Vulcans are kind of crazy. Jim and Spock go through a alien ritual, which, yes, changes everything -- he's hoping for the better. Spock just wants to get through this with his sanity, if not his dignity, mostly intact.

If a Vulcan has an emotional reaction, and there’s no one around to see it, does it still have any significant impact?

"I shall begin again. I have successfully initiated relations with the remaining elders of Vulcan, beginning talks of colonization, of rebuilding our people. Though they show no outward signs of suspicion, and take my word that I had been living in a hermitage since my Kohlinar, only just beaming out before the event, I sense that they are not completely at ease with my story."

Kirk was born in space, he sleeps best there. Lately, though, he has felt a new kind of restlessness in his bones. His sleep is interrupted by dreams, by reliving moments of a life that isn’t his.

Spock had not intended to watch them. He had only been at the dock because he had been unable to resist the temptation of seeing the Enterprise again, as illogical as that was.

He merely can see that, in the course of their years together, he and Nyota will part ways, and his way will merge with the captain's.

When the Enterprise is asked to transport Vulcan colonists to their new home, Spock Prime comes with them. His presence changes everything – and leads to life-altering revelations for Jim and Spock.

The five times Spock wasn't in love, and the one time he couldn't deny it anymore.

He has spent ten long years attempting to reconstruct what was nearly destroyed, and now he is lucky if he can last from breakfast to lunch without nodding off. Spock will die before his father and that both comforts and terrifies him in ways he does not care to closely examine.

"He's two hundred years old and tired, Jim," Bones answered sarcastically. "I'm surprised he hasn't broken down before this."

You get two alpha types together, and there are going to be fireworks. There always have been, even back when they hated each other. Jim likes fireworks, and these are better than most.

Wherein Spock and Kirk, now married, meet up with Spock Prime once more, and Kirk considers the nature of his relationship with his first officer.

In which the subgenre of pon farr fic is mercilessly and lovingly deconstructed, with Wagner.

Five Things that Scotty Noticed and Didn’t Mention to the General Public, And One Thing That Spread Around the Enterprise Within Five Minutes of him Seeing It.

"During your time, was the bridge staff comprised of functional alcoholics?"

The first time Spock woke up with the captain in his bed, it was because of the very strangeness. There was some sort of cool, clinging blanket wrapped around him. There was also a smaller point of heat pressing against his shoulder blades, but that he easily identified as Tribble, Ship's-Cat 3rd Class (Under Fifty Pests Exterminated). He and the ship's-cats did not, exactly, get along, but they frequented his quarters because of the higher heat, and often curled up around him when he was in the rec areas. He did not find it unacceptable to share his bed with them or allow them to sit near him. He was always slightly cold, and the creatures were a welcome source of radiated heat. The other presence, however, was unexpected.

The Federation and the Romulan Empire have been on the verge of war for what sometimes feels like forever; this is the place where what passes for peace might end.

The answer is √π233/hy7. Has been for all three months of the first semester. Jim's not sure why the galaxy's best and brightest haven't realize that, but it's not his school, not his problem.

“Oh, no, this test isn’t for you. The wager is for you. The test is for your young counterparts...do you believe in fate?"

The Enterprise is ordered to pick up a Vulcan Healer and transport him to the new colony. Once there they are scheduled to remain and assist with the early stages of setting up the colony. Kirk's liaison is his 'old friend' Ambassador Spock, now known as Elder Sepak, who takes the opportunity to help Kirk and Spock become better acquainted.

When he'd lost Jim, he'd thought that that would be the greatest death he would be forced to face; to endure.

Spock's been played. He doesn't mind too much.

AKA 'The One Where Spock Prime is a Matchmaker'; but be warned that it's as much about Spock Prime and matchmaking as TOS is about modes of technology in the 23rd century.

He's been a good Captain. It isn't his own ego talking, although it does tend to echo across the galaxy on a good day. He's seen the peer reviews his crew sent in, seen the overwhelming praise that's been sent to Starfleet on his behalf. And yet here he is on his mostly deserted ship filling out paperwork to send them scattered across the universe because not one of them wishes to remain with him.

Of course Spock is the one who programmed it, and of course, he's there at the trial. Kirk will look back on that later and realize it's not as accidental as it seemed.

And then Jim is holding her, and smiling down at her, tracing one pointed ear and pressing a kiss to her brow - still disgusting, but Spock doesn't point that out, because he's enchanted by the way Jim holds her, by the way she fits to her father's chest, and looks up at him with Vulcan-dark eyes.

And having it confirmed, that Spock was actually begging for credits, almost shocked him speechless again. But not quite. "What are you doing here?"
