James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock, (minor) Christine Chapel/Nyota Uhura

Rating: Explicit — No archive warnings apply — CW: descriptions of illness — Tags: mutual pining, stranded on an alien planet, angst with a happy ending

After months — hell, maybe even a full year — of teasing words and flirty glances and not so casual touches, they slept together. This should solve things, right? Wrong. Because they’d just found Jim satisfactory, nothing else. That was great, right? That was so going to keep him warm at night while Bones and Spock were cuddling three metres away.

Who wouldn’t be happy to be stranded on an alien planet in a psychedelic jungle with the weirdest squirrels and the loudest birds and the two idiots you were irredeemably in love with who kept taking their shirts off to fight the heat?

Not Jim. Jim was peachy.

-Summary:

“Lursa and B'Etor?“ Agent Dax asks. "They are part of the now dishonored House of Duras- The Klingons consider them an orange level threat, at best.”

“Well, they’ve become a red level one now,” Admiral Sisko informs them, leaning into his table. “They somehow found someone that can supply them with Kessar warheads.” Garak’s entire face darkens. He’s seen what those things can do.

"So now you see why this mission is so important. Agent Bashir has done his job with the target and he’s now willing to turn to our side.” Garak grits his teeth. “Your job, on the other hand, is to find out who’s insane enough to supply such weapons of mass destruction to the sisters, and make sure not a single one of them makes it into their hands.”

Rating of the story and Warnings: ableism and internalized ableism 

Most relevant tags of the story: Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series; Star Trek: Discovery; Deityverse AU, James T. Kirk/Spock, Christopher Pike/Spock, Leonard McCoy/Montgomery Scott; Episode: Menagerie; Episode: The Conscience of the King

Summary of the story: 

Spock has been expecting the news of Pike's injury since his former captain left the Enterprise, but McCoy's transformation at the galactic barrier renders his original plans impossible while presenting other opportunities to help him recover from his injury. 

 The trouble is, he and Pike still have feelings for each other despite Spock being involved with Captain Kirk.

Love for Vulcans is complicated. There are traditions and logic and the family to live up to, to serve, but the heart wants what it wants. What happens when you add Vulcans, Humans, love, and time travel? Years- or centuries-long heartbreak may ensue.

For the @startrekvalentinesbang

Rating/Warnings: T / Death (is a concept invented by the Jedi?) [Kirk’s (2013) Into Darkness death, mentions/references/experiences of previous movie deaths, fears about death, mortality, and meaning]

Relationships: James T. Kirk/Spock, James T. Kirk & Leonard “Bones” McCoy & Spock, Spock & Nyota Uhura, Mild James T. Kirk/Spock Prime

Additional Tags: Post-Star Trek: Into Darkness, Mystery, Visions, Telepathy/Mind Meld, Developing Friendships, Fix-It, Feelings

Summary:

“It would never be,” Spock says. To crave it. To envy it. To take it as your own. “I have been left knowing, and I have been left wanting.” For what he acknowledges as a potential future, he disdains it as well.   With a mostly empty upper chain-of-command after Khan, Starfleet halts outgoing advanced missions, postponing the five-year mission until further notice. Spock alternates primarily between teaching at the Academy, training potential graduates in the field as a science officer, and visiting James Kirk during his rehabilitation. After a small altercation on a training trip, Spock returns to his duties unaffected, outside of visions of the same aged, grey-haired Human man who treats him with unfamiliar familiarity.
