#kirk/la'an

[lenievi]

I’m still not over Kirk becoming vulnerable and opening up to La’an, sharing something about his childhood just to explain himself because he didn’t like her thinking that he was a player, and La’an listening with a smile and validating him, and thanking him for doing what he’s doing because “I promise you, it is important when Starfleet helps those who need it. I know because I was helped too.”

Also La’an literally going out of her way to ask if he was injured because she was worried. People seem to focus on “it isn’t her James” but the thing is, her James died so this version of James Kirk could exist. Captain Kirk heard about the world La’an came from, and he wanted to live in it. He didn’t want to be a soldier and spend his life fighting; he wanted to be an explorer and live in a world where war wasn’t imperative. He wanted his brother to live.

Captain Kirk helped her back then (even though he didn’t have to), and seeing and hearing that Lieutenant Kirk would do the same thing is painful because it’s a reminder of what she’s lost, but he’s also a reminder that it was worth it.

Every time, La’an speaks to him, she’s reminded of qualities Captain Kirk had. She feels a pull towards him, and he’s offering to spend time together, but she is afraid to take him up on that offer. She’s afraid of what could happen if she spends more time with him.

and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better scene

#jim kirk #la'an noonien singh #snw nonsense #snw spoilers #kirk x la'an #ka'an #it's not my fault snw is about relationships #me: i loved this episode let's look at some reviews #people: this episode wasn't really good #me: ................... #also i don't care if you think kirk spilling out his heart in a hallway to a stranger is weird. he's 26yo don't compare him to his 34yo self #kirk/la'an #also as always if you interpret this scene differently that's fine. this is just my reading #la'an noonien-singh #james t kirk

How do you feel about kirk x la’an?

oh, i really liked their story!

i didn't expect to like it bc i was hoping for kirk/uhura, but kirk/la'an had absolutely delicious chemistry, story was quite compelling and that ending? la'an crying after talking to her timeline's kirk? it made me tear up!

i'm not sure if they continue developing kirk/la'an romantically though, since kirk that la'an fell for is not the same kirk who exists in her timeline, i think that's partially why she was so saddened in the end - she knew it's not really the man she shared a profound bond with (which is so tragic).

and to be honest, i still have fingers crossed for uhura/kirk. i have always low-key shipped them. i mean, tos!kirk/uhura had the first interracial kiss on tv, how iconic is that?! and we are going to have uhura/kirk episode in s2, so i'm really looking forward to that!

also, i might have a delulu shipper goggles on, but i think the way they characterized uhura and kirk in snw, these two could have a quite compatible and thrilling dynamic. while snw!kirk seems to be considerably older than snw!uhura, that doesn't take away from the potential pairing's sexiness.

basically, i'm down with kirk/la'an but would love some kirk/uhura. however, i would also love it if the writers brought in a new character as uhura's love interest as well, to be honest!

fandom: snw

pairing: La'an/Kirk

rating: sexy sex

summary:

Docked on Starbase Two, La'an finally buys Jim that drink.

tagged: pre-Subspace Rhapsody, Casual Sex, well about as casual as La'an can be about sex, (not very), Masturbation, deadwife James Kirk, fuckboy Jim Kirk

---

Set sometime between Lost in Translation and Subspace Rhapsody, so you know, all the feelings are unresolved still. Anyway I love La'an, I love deadwife James Kirk, and I especially love apparently 26 year old Jim Kirk, what the fuck were the casting team doing when they looked at 41 year old Paul Wesley and thought yep, that looks right. (I love him, I really do, but when I realised he was supposed to be 26 I laughed out loud.)

can't believe I haven't named a fic after my favourite song of all time, cut to the feeling, but better late than never.

there was just something so genuine about kirk realising they’d need money in the 21st century, spotting a chess table and .. just .. sitting down and playing random strangers for a few spare notes at a time. no competitivity, no real sense of urgency, no hard feelings, he just spends the whole afternoon betting strangers he can win and winning every time because of course he can. ‘one dimensional’ chess is a cake walk compared to the chess he’s used to.

and no one leaves that table feeling like they’ve really lost out. it was a good game, kirk wins fair and square, they enjoy their time with him, he even gains a crowd as people get invested in the matches. he shakes their hands and they move on. it was such an endearing way of showing us the kind of person kirk is. charming, easily personable. he finds a fair way to get by in a completely alien situation that still matches his skillset.

I don’t know, it was such a short scene but it showed us so much without any dialogue. They could have shown la’an and kirk figuring out how to grab some quick cash in a bunch of different ways, but they chose one with a lot of heart and that’s why I really love this show.

#snw #snw spoilers #strange new worlds #captain kirk #james t kirk #la'an noonien singh #and it's not even the *real* kirk at least not the one from the main universe #and he's still just Like That #i like seeing these sort of not quite kirks but still kirks wesley's portraying it makes it more fun #and this was by far the kirkiest he's felt to me so far #star trek

Favourites of the Musical Episode

Uhura starting all this by beaming Anything Goes at the zipper fold. Nyota, you fucking NERD

Spock straight up not having a good time

Number One and Kirk dancing through the hallways

La’An trying very hard not to sing and running to her room to sing her  gut-wrenching ballad in private 😭

Pike’s general ????? reaction every time the singing happens

The acapella rendition of the opening credits theme

Chapel getting a sexy club number to say ‘lol sorry this proved much more than I can handle I’m gonna go dig up proto-surgical tools byeeeee’  I mean, it’s horrible, and it’s definitely going to fuck with his head that he took this risk and gave T’Pring very good reason to kal-i-fee him now but it’s also...relatable? Girl has serious wartime PTSD and attachment issues and was fine letting this crush just expire in its own time but got too impulsive and shit got too serious because, Vulcan, and she couldn’t ghost him while they were on the same ship.

Spock’s dark, emo pop-rock realization that he should go kolinahr now

Number One’s comforting confession song to La’An and it lifting them off their feet 🥺

Uhura getting her own ballad in Engineering and that bit at the end where she belts and we get the full-view of the section with the lights was 😩👌 babygirl still needs therapy and an emotional support dog tho

The solution to the singing problem being just more singing but a big cast number that overwhelms the zipper fold into combusting like New Years fireworks

The fucking Klingons’ getting roped in at the last second to add their aggro rap-pop boyband tantrum to the cause!!!!

this episode was a 1701 out of 10 great job everyone

I've seen a lot of posts criticising Jim for "leading La'an on" by smiling and flirting with her, saying that's cheating as much as Spock is, and I just want to say, guys. I don't think he's doing that to be cruel. That's just Jim Kirk. That's just like, how he is. That's his face. That's how he behaves. He's throwing the same exact faces at Spock that he is at La'an. Which isn't saying much at all, but point is, he's flirting with everyone, all the time. If you've seen TOS, he's got his flirtmeter to 3,000 on full blast, 24/7.

Jim Kirk is valid for having an on again of again complicated relationship with Carol Marcus. Spock is valid for being upset at Chapel for not committing to their relationship like he thought he could. Chapel is valid for pursuing her dreams despite her affections for Spock. Chris and Batel are valid for having a relationship that complicates their work life. Sam Kirk is valid for pursuing knowledge on the flagship enterprise despite not being able to see his family. La'an is valid to have her whirlwind romance with an alt!Kirk and have that color her impression of canon!Kirk. Uhura is valid for being an uncertain all business ensign learning to believe in herself and inspire others. M'Benga is valid for not wanting to be a bunny.

They are all valid.

The 'Jim Kirk Sleeps With All His First Officers And Its Fine Actually' story is complete!!!

I have a literal timeline for this fic, and I still think I've messed it up somehow, but what does it matter? blorbo fucks, that is what is important. anyway this is sort of the other la'an/kirk fic I wanted to write post 2x03 and 2x09, and I did so by picking up the hint in 1x10 that in the other timeline where Pike doesn't resign, La'an goes to be XO of the Farragut under Captain Kirk. In this, she still does, but only because Kirk becomes Acting Captain about 9 months after becoming XO, and poaches her.

anyway I still have too many star trek feelings, and now I need to go work on the subspace rhapsody fic. enjoy!!!
