Title: Snow Queen: The Search for Spock

Author: Orabla Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies), Star Trek: The Original Series

Rating: Mature Words: 21,816 Chapters: 5

Summary:

It's basically a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's "Snow Queen", with Kirk and Spock cast as Gerda and Kay. It's not totally faithful to the original tale, but I tried to imitate the writing a little. Some chapters are completely omitted, others are modified, but the basic storyline is the same, with some darkish twists and of course lots of Spirk love. The characters are young adults rather than children. In response to a prompt by Anonymous.  Title: Wonders Great and Small

Artist: Sunless_Garden Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies), Hamilton - Miranda

Rating: General Audiences

Summary: 

Jim Kirk as Alexander Hamilton, Spock as John Laurens. Are Jim and Spock acting in a 23rd century revival of Lin Manuel Miranda's Hamilton? Is it an alternate universe? Are our boys just being silly? (Up to you.)

Today we have a fic and a poem for you!

Title: Chocolate for the Bounty

Author: Orabla Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)

Rating: MatureWords: 20,203 Chapters: 4

Summary:

In a slightly less utopian Federation, Jim Kirk is a bounty hunter, quite good at his job despite his ridiculously old ship and dedicated, but rather small crew. His current bounty, whom he captured and seriously wounded, doesn't really seem like a criminal. Moreover, he is really gorgeous... Jim faces a serious dilemma. It may turn out that a bounty hunter with too much of a conscience (and a too soft heart) will have to put up a really hard fight to atone for his crime, save his love and... learn to appreciate winter holidays again.
