Okay my fellow lovers of Pie. Books a million is offering signed copies of his upcoming children’s book. I would order now because these will disappear!

I somehow managed to live through the last decade or so without ever seeing this charming online ad for Audi featuring both Spocks (at the time, anyway) - Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto. Seeing Leonard rocking out to a certain song he is (in)famous for recording back in the 60s (which should have been used by Peter Jackson in one of his movies, fight me) is worth the price of admission. It's only a shame James Doohan had passed away a number of years before this as there could have been a great gag involving Scotty at the end. Oh well!
Please take this edit I just made because they're my romulan empire if I dare say so I love making AOS Spirk miserable and whumpy my beloved silly crunchy little space men
This is part of my Quintoverse series, an AOS AU, where everything is the same, except Spock channels a little more of his inner Zachary Quinto. The series is based on pics of Zach, much like this.
You ever watch a movie because you think the lead is gorgeous (Chris Pine), but within two minutes the odd, socially inept, less conventionally attractive genius (Zachary Quinto) leaves you obsessed? Spock had me knots!!! 🤣
When I first found this fic the summary was so short that I really didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised!
It's an AOS AU (Yes, I know there have been a lot of them lately, I was going through a phase lol, I'll try to switch things up a bit soon) in which Starfleet requires all it's captains to be married to provide stability and support on long missions. If they don't find one of their own before they take command then they're subject to an arrange marriage via Starfleet Command matching them up with a suitable officer based on submitted questionnaires.
As such, Kirk is being provided with a spouse and is en route to meet them for their ceremony and subsequent honeymoon. However, although Kirk and Spock are not unhappy with their assigned partners, they are a bit baffled by their honeymoon resort, which appears to be deserted.
It's a mystery laced love story and it's altogether quite endearing. 🥰
