Muse’s Star Trek Fic Recs
Just a short list that I’ve had in mind for a little while of recent reads.
These are AOS / Kelvin Timeline fic recs... I’ll branch out into the other series eventually....
- Safe by SidSky on AO3 (293,433 words, T)
Khan has escaped, and kidnapped a member of the Enterprise crew. What Khan wants is clear: the return of what remains of his people, and revenge on Starfleet. What is the Federation willing to do to remain safe?
Parts of this story get pretty dark. Warnings for violence; torture; manipulation; suggestive threats.
[First off, this is very dark! I thought I knew what I was getting into, but... yeah. Physical violence, mental abuse - this is TOS Khan dialed up to 13; he is cruel, ruthless, and cunning.
ALSO. This story has sooo many layers to it! There is so much going on, it feels like a real universe interacting within itself instead of a clean, civilized storyline.]
- but not as we know it by spikeface on AO3 (19,839 words, E)
Two months after the USS Enterprise crashes and burns, McCoy wakes up on the ISS Enterprise and tries to find his way home.
[Mirror!Universe!!! I loved this romp into another dimension! Kirk x McCoy x Spock]
- Ask Me Again Tomorrow by Darksknight on AO3 (in progress, E)
“There is no one exactly like you. You are completely unique. There are, perhaps, those similar to you. But none who are as you are. It is you whom I wish to marry. Not someone who shares your characteristics.”
[AYYYYYY, Sarek and Amanda! Oh, this story made me feel like I was wrapped up in a fluffy blanket with a mug of tea! It is such a sweet story of unfolding love and I LOVE IT SO MUCH.]
- Where Gods Lose Their Way by Dizzydodo on AO3 (123,824 words, E)
In a world where everyone has the name of their soulmate on their wrist, Khan's wrist was empty while he was conquering earth. But after Marcus wakes him up the name 'Leonard' has appeared.
[I. Freaking love. Soulmate AUs. Khones (Khan x McCoy) has stolen my heart and this was perfect. I love a good, soft Khan that STID was so close to making him... this made everything so much better!]
- BetazoidBones AU by espressohno on AO3 (3-part series, E)
Living on the Enterprise, being in such close quarters with hundreds of crew members and passengers, Leonard McCoy has no choice but to come to terms with who he really is. And it sucks. He finds comfort in the last person he’d expect.
Or: Bones is half Betazoid and he’s been able to ignore it for most of his life, and then he moves to a starship and can’t ignore it anymore. Spock, for all his idiosyncrasies, seems to know exactly how he feels.
[I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS. This series was warm and fluffy with just a touch of angst and I LOVED IT. Especially the last in the series - that was frickin HILARIOUS. Spock x McCoy]
