Pairings: Jim Kirk/Spock, Spock/Nyota Uhura, Jim Kirk/Carol Marcus, Jim Kirk/Gary Mitchell, Jim Kirk/Original Character, Carol Marcus/Leonard McCoy
Summary:
Being able to read someone's mind doesn't mean knowing them, as Jim finds out. Being forced to navigate the fallout of a terrible tragedy while fighting to stop a large-scale threat doesn't help. What will it take to protect what matters? Will the Federation survive it? Will Jim?
And will the growing connection between he and Spock bring them together before it tears them apart?

A Weary Traveler
Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 27,619
Pairings: Jim Kirk/Spock
Summary:
"Of course you're not," he says, which sounds patronizing but his tone isn't, like he's stating a fact. "But I saw you come in and had to say hi."
She narrows her eyes, because between that and his 'guess'..."Do I know you?"
The bar is a little too dark to be sure, but he does look awfully familiar.
"Not yet." He crosses his arms, and she realizes he doesn't have a drink. "You will, though."
Jim keeps jumping through time.

Do you feel trapped, Jim? On Tarsus IV?

thinking about how Jim is constantly used a poster boy for the very things he fights against in @bamfspock 's Know All Your Enemies (and also how you should totally all read it)

My Favorite Star Trek Fics
Well, after seven years of being in this fandom, I had to make one at some point.
You Don't Have to (Say Yes)
by luminousbeings
Rated: Mature
Word count: 192,321
The abridged sexual history of James Tiberius Kirk.
Or, Jim’s varyingly unhealthy idea of what sex is supposed to be (a it-gets-worse-before-it-gets-better story)
Please read the warnings before you decide to read this. This is one of my favorite fics ever, but I recognize that it is also very triggering for many people. What I do want to tell people about this story is that it's incredibly healing. Yes, it's very painful, but it's worth it for the way this fic handles everything. Other than pure plot, I also love this fic for its dialogue. There's a scene where it's nothing but dialogue, and it always amazes me how I didn't even realize there were no markers. I just knew who was talking because the author gives all the characters such distinctly beautiful voices. I've never been one for rereading, but for seven years now, it's been a tradition of mine to reread this fic from beginning to end every single year. For good reason. Hard recommend.
The Genetic Soap Opera (or, One of the Less Dignified Royal Weddings)
by waketosleep
Rated: Mature
Word count: 6,181
Turns out Jim Kirk's more than meets the eye, genetically speaking. There are a lot of consequences, mostly for Spock and his sanity.
A classic for a good reason. I usually stray away from shorter works because I get too attached, but this work was perfect in length. Just the right thing to get you laughing in the middle of the night while you're trying not to wake anyone up. I read this at least once every time I circle back into Star Trek.
West of the Moon
by distractedKat
Rated: Teen And Up Audiences
Word count: 71,443
They meet Jim in phases, and through him find each other. Once the layers begin to peel back, though, the future bridge crew of the Enterprise finds more than they ever could have dreamed. When the fight to keep him starts in earnest, the cadets and officers of Starfleet begin to learn that not all wars can be won.
Because long before he had friends, Jim had Family, and the Scaretta crime syndicate didn't survive to the 23rd century by letting go of its own.
Jim Kirk will always be a frustration to Spock--even when that's not his name.
I'm honestly surprised I haven't read this until now. I'm still in the middle of reading it, and I'm reeling both from how absolutely insane the idea of this fic was and how well-executed it remains. Insane stuff right here. Heartwarming and kicks right in the main crew feels with a special center on Chekov as the best guy ever.
Know All Your Enemies
by BAMFspock
Rated: Mature
Word count: 351,857
"The thing about being able to tell what people are feeling and thinking is that people generally don't like that."
Jim can't deal with his problems, so he deals with everyone else's instead. Spock can't deal with his emotions, so he pushes them all away. Starfleet can't deal with a post-Kelvin universe in any way except badly.
And what exactly is t'hy'la, anyway?
A story about dangerous conspiracies, doomed crusades, inadequate coping, imperfect control, important connections, and taking care.
The fic that made me wish Jim was actually a telepath. I started creating fanfic in my head for this particular fic. I would think about this fic, and spend my entire break-time reading it every minute I could. That's how much I love this fic. Beautifully slow burn, but I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about the monstrosity (in a good way) that is this plot. It's huge. It's detailed. Somehow, it holds great cohesion despite all the factors. This fic's plot made me question my ability to creatively think. I also, of course, love the interactions between the entire cast and crew. I think Star Trek is Star Trek when the entire crew plays a big role in things. What an absolute delight.
Breaking Points
by Ragdoll
Rated: Mature
Word count: 68,869
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 certain revelations for Jim and Spock.  A story about growth, self-discovery, and new beginnings.
I am in love with this author, and I might put some more of their fics up here, but I'm sorely disappointed that they didn't transfer this fic into AO3. That, of course, did not stop me from reading it. I personally hate the formatting in the K/S archive, but I squinted through the starkly white pages just to take this entire fic in. Love for Leonard Nimoy aside, I just love the concept of Spock Prime. The idea that this guy we all know and love, this old man who has suffered the death of his loved ones—worse yet, his loved one—being allowed to see his crew and his Jim once again, but only from a distance? Fucking brilliant. I so wish JJ Abrams wasn't the one who thought the thing up. Anyway, this fic hits right in those places. I thought that by now it would be a tried and tired trope for me, but this fic defied those expectations and actually made me cry in the end.
The Sparrow People
by Wingittofreedom
Rated: Mature
Word count: 80,708
5 months after Nero, tensions are high between Jim and his first officer Spock. After a crash landing on an unknown planet, they're rescued by kindly aliens…who happen to think Jim is Spock’s wife. A story about secrets and fruit.
The only unfinished fic I will put here, and for good reason. The summary is incredibly misleading in that it makes the fic sound like it's purely a comedy when it's so, so, so, so, so much more than that. I never expected to fall in love with an original world in fanfiction form, but I did, and I fell hard. I fell in love with the original characters that populate this story. I fell in love with the writer's style, the intimacy behind every interaction, and just the pure love that glows in every written word. I am incredibly sad that this fic hasn't and probably will never end, but to be honest, the author has given me enough emotionally to work with to the point where I can safely say that this is an unfinished fic I am truly satisfied by. I don't think I can say that for many other unfinished works.
The Morning After
by noodleinabarrel
Rated: Mature
Word count: 50,381
Jim convinces Spock to take shore leave with him on Risa, hoping the time together will help re-solidify their bond of friendship after some recent tension. Meanwhile, Spock convinces himself he's on Risa for one reason and one reason only, to prevent his wayward captain from getting into trouble.
After a passionately illogical night of Romulan Ale and chocolate infused liquor, everything changes when Jim wakes with something other than a hangover filling his head. Something he's sure neither he nor Spock can handle. Because if Jim knows anything for sure, it's that his messed up thoughts belong nowhere near Spock's clean, ordered mind.
(Please remember to read the fic's warnings.) From what I remember when I first read this, this fic is very Spock and Jim-centric which means little interaction with the crew. That should already set alarms because I'm suddenly acting incredibly OOC because from my recs, you should know by now that I love crew dynamics and would sacrifice a main ship for them. But! This fic is an exception apparently. I love the interactions between Spock and Jim here. There's a sprinkle of Bones in there too which always makes everything better. A fic that gives you the hurt before proceeding to give you the best comfort in the world. Deals a lot with Jim's insecurities in a way that actually kind of helped me with mine. Trickle-down therapy through fanfiction is very real.
How to Inefficiently Acquire a Human Male in 98.6 Earth Days
by noodleinabarrel
Rated: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 30,391
When Jim Kirk joins the xenolinguistics club, Professor Spock is drawn to the cadet despite his better judgment. Soon, Spock finds himself in a friendship he never asked for, a relationship that is quickly evolving into something more than he can handle. In an effort to free himself from Kirk’s persistent affection, Spock makes use of his anthropological research on human relationships, which has unexpected consequences.
Yes, another noodleinabarrel fic. I am in love with them. I found this fic on one of those "find fic" pages on LiveJournal, and I can safely say that I will take great care never to lose this one for myself. I fell in love from premise alone. I never expected to love this fic as much as I did, but the characterizations? Noodleinabarrel absolutely killed it. Spock was a delight in this fic, and I somehow fell in love with Jim again just this time from a Spock perspective. The writing style is great of course. I've always found it hard to find fics that could successfully do a Spock POV without sounding like a dictionary recitation, and this author did it seemingly without effort. Please read if you want a short, fun, and funny way to spend an afternoon (or midnight or morning, if you're like me.)
A Logical Return
by walkandtalk
Rated: Unrated, but it's Teen And Up Audiences
Word count: 15,417
Alternately titled: A Very Chekov Easter: Prequel to A Logical Match
Jim gets front row seats to one of Spock's emotional epiphanies, but doesn't notice, of course.
Inspired by Jim's remark to Spock about awkward family dinners involving our favorite Navigator and his large family. This could still stand alone. Set directly after STID
I actually read this fic before I read A Logical Match. I actually love this fic much more than I love the original probably because of the whole crew dynamic again, but also because of the absolute hilarity the author crafts in just 15,000 words. Especially that ending. Talk about an ending; I just sat there guffawing at the screen at around 2 AM, screaming.
Definition
By most_curiously_blue_eyes
The life of five-year-old James T. Kirk changes when an elderly Vulcan lost in time crosses his path and saves him. In the years to come, as the boy grows up into a young man, Spock is his driving force, his mentor, his friend, a constant in his life.
Because in every universe, Jim Kirk is destined to meet a Spock. In this one, he gets to meet Spock twice and the experience defines him, shapes him into the person he is supposed to be. A child. A man. A genius. A captain. A son.
I don't think I've convinced you enough that I love Spock Prime. Let me show you again. Almost gave me a heart attack from just how pure it was. If you ever want to be happy? Read.
Another Life
By LullabyKnell
Rated: Teen and Up Audiences
Word count: 61,861
In one moment, James T. Kirk is the acting captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, on his way home to Earth after stopping the Narada. In the next moment, without explanation, James T. Kirk is an Academy cadet on academic probation again, barely a day before Nero will destroy Vulcan.
He dares himself to do better. And with a planet on the line and no proof but his own memories, he knows that "better" means he'll need some help.
Heartbreaking. To see Jim so desperately try to get everything back? Oh, God, don't even get me started on the plot. From the premise alone, you should be hooked, but please, please, please stay for the lovely characterization, for the great use of Pike, for the lovely Spock Prime, and for the absolute angst that is the prospect of time travel. Makes ties into TOS as well which is always a beautiful little thing. The Superior Fix-It Fic.
AT THE SAME STARS
By Spicyshimmy
Rated: Mature
Word count: 136,398
First Officer Spock of the USS Enterprise is part of the away team that discovers the survivors of Tarsus IV. Captain Pike assigns him to the curious case of James Tiberius Kirk, who steals one of Spock's sweaters. There were no sufficient Vulcan poetics to describe the emptiness of the colony as it was found on the morning of stardate 2249.43. The fully-completed residential sector was neither ugly nor beautiful but simply remote; a hollow landscape of metal alloys and sensible architecture, with determined vegetation growing alongside the support beams. They did not flower.
I binge-read this entire thing over the span of three consecutive days (in my defense, I had 12 hour work days for two of those three days.) I'm a killer for characterization, and the way the author crafted Spock and Jim's relationship was perfect and incredibly original. The slow progression to their love was made with such careful... attention to detail I guess is how you could call it. It might be weird to try to describe this, but as I read the fic, I had an image in my head of the author just... letting the words be. Like they were their children. If that makes sense. What I'm basically trying to say is that the author is great at their job to the point where you can sense their love for the characters, for the movies, and for the work itself.
t'hy'la
by Itar94
Rated: Mature
Word count: 137,131
Jim and Spock meet at the Academy as cadets, and history unfolds. A story of first meetings, tentative friendships, and findings of self. (Spans through the Academy Era and onward.)
(Warnings! Read them!) Okay. I lied. Here's another unfinished fic. But just like the last one, I have good reason again. In the notes for this work, the author admits this is their first Star Trek fic... and I just have to say... that is not at all obvious. In fact, you have no idea the sorrow I had when I realized this was their only Star Trek fanfic to date. The fanfic blows you away immediately with its prose. The entire story itself is immersive, and not just because of its word count. So much happens in this fic and yet somehow everything lies fresh in my head. Many painful experiences occur in this fic, and the writing was just so superb that for a second, I let the suspension of disbelief get to me. I just had to put my phone down and walk for a bit in some scenes. It took me days before I could continue down a certain act. I finish this fic in my head all the time. I thank the author for all the work they put into this.
Sanctuary
By WhyMrSpook
Rated: Mature
Word count: 73,351
Eventually, Jim will tell them about Tarsus. Eventually, he'll let Bones be his Doctor and accept that they all want to help him. Eventually, Jim will find out that which Pike would rather he never did.
Academy AU, where Pike and Boyce practically adopt Jim and Bones, Jim and Pike both keep secrets from each other, and Spock is thrown into the mix too.
(Warnings!!!) Some fics make you forget canon and accept their fiction as word. This is one of them. And God, I wish it was the real thing. I love this fic so much, yes, because of the interactions between Pike, Boyce, and Jim, but also for the fun writing style. God, I need to use better words for it. You'll get what I mean just from reading the first paragraph though. Each word, each sentence, each paragraph, every single thing this author puts down has a unique energy to it—an energy the author can use to literally any effect. I believe I first read Sanctuary around when it came out, so I have a long history with this one, and it's always a delight to rediscover it and relive the found family in this fic. I can't wait to read WhyMrSpook's other works tonight (read: this morning since apparently 1:00 AM is considered morning.)
Petrified
By cowboyjimkirk
Rate: Not Rated, but I don't remember any scenes
Word count: 46,492
Two months into his captaincy, Jim comes to a startling realization: he's deathly afraid of his first officer. Spock, meanwhile, starts to develop a crush.
"Jim's afraid of Spock" sounds terribly angsty, but this is mostly rom com with hints of angst and horror. Updates every Tuesday.
One of the greatest misunderstanding fics out there. That's really all I can say here. I feel like the premise should have already sold you alongside the author's tags of: "Romantic Comedy, Horror, this one's hard to categorize because spock thinks he's living in a rom com, while jim thinks he's living in a horror story." As soon as I saw this again in my iBooks I just knew I had to put this here. (Also unfinished for the last chapter, but I don't remember being dissatisfied by that at all. I think it actually stops at a good place.)
(Halfway) Human Nature
By crescentmoonthemage
Rated: Mature
Word count: 37,533
(Enlighten me again, the cadet says. He stands proud and stupid and human, blue eyes hinting danger as he takes in Spock and dismisses him in that same instant. He’s heard the rumors, everyone has. And so Spock tries.)
It happens in four moments.
Set in early 2260 and chronicling the first months of the five-year mission. Mostly epistolary, partly serious, partly pure crack.
I don't usually like fics with what is arguably texting in them, but there are exceptions to everything, and this is it. Is it weird that even though I don't have any friends in the Star Trek fandom because I'm a loser and that even though this fic was only relatively recently published (2020-2021), I consider this a classic? God, I love this fic. It's just so funny and somehow so emotional at the same time. Hits the right balance. I think I'll add this to my list of yearly re-reads (alongside the other fic with parentheses in its title.)
It Only Leads to Trouble and Seat Wetting
By Leafling
Rated: Explicit
Word count: 18,541
In spite of his reputation in the academy for being promiscuous, Jim's actually a virgin.
(Warnings. Again.) When I was writing this review, I was incredibly surprised to learn that the fic was so short considering in all of my memories, I had such a deep experience with this fic. Another one of the fics I delightfully rediscover everytime I circle back into Star Trek. So incredibly wholesome. I love Jim and Spock here, but Uhura takes the spotlight.
Atlas
by distractedKat
Between what was and what will be stands James Tiberius Kirk, in all his fractured patchwork glory. Because saving the Federation was only the beginning.
A novel-length continuation of the 2009 movie told in four parts. Cross-posted from FFN.
Oh my god. I didn't even realize distractedKat had written two of my favorite fics. Anyway, this fic, especially the first part is permanently ingrained into my head. I remember this fic all the time. It's just an absolute classic for me and most likely the entire fandom. A must read. Love the crew, love the Genius!Jim in here, absolutely in love with the forever confused and obviously (to us at least) in love Spock.

Know All Your Enemies

"The thing about being able to tell what people are feeling and thinking is that people generally don't like that."
Jim can't deal with his problems, so he deals with everyone else's instead. Spock can't deal with his emotions, so he pushes them all away. Starfleet can't deal with a post-Kelvin universe in any way except badly.

An absolute monster of a fic. 351,857 words. I am amazed I made it all the way to the end. What it means is that I had a lot of fun and was really, really invested in this retelling of the AOS. In this version Jim isn't psi-null. From an exceptionally young age he's been able to feel the emotions from everyone around him and that... changes everything. Fair warnings for Tarsus IV (in depth), death, long term ED, and very frustrating miscommunication in this really well crafted long time friendship to courtship.

I wonder if it's an ADHD thing to get so incredibly thrown off when you take your xmas tree down. Even with my little 3 ft tree that sits on a display case (because ~☆cats☆~) I'm just off for weeks

The Prompt/Idea: The Enterprise is given a very classified mission from 'Fleet HQ. Something that was meant to be given to a Sec 31 team but since Marcus those types of folks are in the wind. The mission is a planet at the edge of the Alpha quadrant. It had once been a prosperous and advanced colony with a mix of races. But the planet was suddenly radio silent. A team had been sent in to check things out but they never returned. The only thing Starfleet got was a single transmission saying "STAY AWAY>DANGER>DEATH IS HERE" they quarantined the planet and have been arguing and debating if it was worth investigating fully. The red tape was extensive. So extensive that it was four years later that the Enterprise was even called.
Only prepared with minimal facts an away team is sent down and is greeted with chaos, death, and despair. The dead walk and they must figure out how to help the people still alive and how to get back home. And to get what Starfleet really wants. A secret weapon/Information against the growing and brewing threat of the Klingon Empire. Will they survive?
Use the Lines:
"Damn Bones...Nice shot! Where did you learn to shoot an antique like that?"
and...
"I'm a doctor damnit, not a...oh fuck it. Give me the damn rifle. I jus' wanna go home. I'm goin' to hell..."

Title: Know All Your Enemies
Author: BAMFspock
Rating: Mature
Pairings: Jim Kirk/Spock, Spock/Nyota Uhura, Jim Kirk/Carol Marcus, Jim Kirk/Gary Mitchell, Jim Kirk/Original Character, Carol Marcus/Leonard McCoy
Warnings: Explicit discussions and descriptions of a restriction-type eating disorder (ARFID); discussion of involuntary weight loss; murder of children; genocide; eugenics; child abuse (physical and emotional); descriptions of dissociative states; descriptions of panic attacks; discussion of sex as self-harm; mentions of pedophilia; mentions of other self-harm behaviors; discussion of suicidal ideation; graphic violence; minor character death; sanist language
Summary:
"The thing about being able to tell what people are feeling and thinking is that people generally don't like that."
Jim can't deal with his problems, so he deals with everyone else's instead. Spock can't deal with his emotions, so he pushes them away. Starfleet can't deal with a post-Kelvin universe in any way except badly.
And what exactly is t'hy'la, anyway?
A story about dangerous conspiracies, doomed crusades, inadequate coping, imperfect control, important connections, and taking care.

"Downeaster Alexa" is such a banger song, and Amazon Alexa enjoys it, too.
It really is. So much of his stuff is great for belting out while doing chores or in the car. And one day I want to finally memorize all the lyrics to We Didn't Start The Fire just for the hell of it.
My friends saw him play at Shea Stadium (last concert before they tore it down to build whatever stadium the Mets play at now) and I am eternally envious.
