When Jim and Spock got together, everyone thought Jim wasn't being serious and would hurt Spock. So he got talked by almost everyone he knew: Uhura, Pike, even McCoy.
Jim, they said, don't hurt Spock. You know yourself, right?
Only the older Spock, far far away on the new vulcan, smiled to Jim and wished him happy.
Jim knew in another universe he and Jim were a very happy couple. So were him and his Spock, he thought. Just they were both much younger. They haven't learned to compromise, to give up a little of themselves for love. Though they would argue, would fight, would start the childish cold war, Jim felt he couldn't be happier in his whole life. This was the first time in his life he felt loved and he wouldn't exchange it with anything. He started to learn how to love one's beloved, by changing, by giving, by being the one always willing to compromise more.
Several months later, a mission went terribly wrong. Due to the difficult situation and part to Jim's impulsiveness Spock always disagreed, a mission rescuing captives kidnapped by a pirate ship failed. Several vulcans died. The ship escaped. Jim blamed himself. Spock blamed himself and Jim. He couldn't get over this and started to think he and Jim didn't belong to the same path. They followed totally different rules. Mightbe he made the wrong decision to end the relationship with Uhura. Mightbe he let his undeniable physical attraction to Jim cloud his logic after all.
Spock decided to break up with Jim. Jim begged him, but no use. He understood the failure of mission was one of the reasons Spock couldn't accept him, but the fact that Spock never stopped weighing his decision between Uhura and Jim just hurt him deeply. (But Spock didn't go back with Uhura. He knew he had no feelings for her any more. )
The Enterprise sent the vulcans' bodies back to the new colony. Jim felt deeply ashamed and wept before Selek. Selek regretted Spock's decision and said, in this universe, maybe it's too early for the two of you to meet. You both are too young and need more time.
The words made Jim's inside break. And Spock went all official and detached with him. He felt he was slowly dying by every day. Maybe he couldn't belong to anyone, maybe it's his destiny to be alone. And he sure learned his humility.
One year later, the five year mission ended with Enterprise back to earth. Jim never stopped trying to track the escaped pirate ship after the tragedy. He finally got the faint clue where the ship might be and decided to go hunt the ship. He knew Spock was going to new Vulcan and he waited outside of his house to say farewell to him.
After Jim was gone, Spock felt anxious by no reasons and knew there's something going on with Jim. He couldn't deny himself he never stopped caring and loving Jim.
He accidentally found Jim's bold plan. He refused to go back home with his father and went after Jim.
Jim had intended to check out the hideout of the ship and confirm first, then go call the authority. But he got caught by the pirates and was badly beaten. He just thought himself really stupid and might never see the sun, the earth and Spock again, when Spock suddenly appeared and saved him. The pirates were all put under the force of the authority.
They went back home. Jim wouldn't let go Spock's hands in his unconciousness. When he woke up, he supprised to find Spock still at his bedside.
In the following days, they talked, they forgave each other, they laughted at their silliness and cried over their loss. They made love, and expected the new five-year mission together.
*Must: sexual scenes(yes, plural!) and Bottom Jim
*Bonus: 1. the longer, the better!
2. Angst. It's legal to break hearts here.
3. Please don't make Spock cruel, because he's not. He has his reasons and they are both young.
I really wanna see in the new universe with much younger characters, there might be a possiblity that they are being foolish, and they just need more time and going through much more to have love. But they're thy'la, which is the truth that can't be changed in any universe.

Spoilers: Star Trek Into Darkness
Backstory: During their rapid rush to save a crumbling Vulcan, Spock and Kirk spend one heated night together. Afterword, Spock insists that it is a mistake and continues to maintain the level of professionalism that they had before. Jim, however, is head-over-heels for his first officer and can't help but admit that he's a little hurt that he means so little to his first officer. The next day, Spock is back with Uhura. A little while later, Kirk finds out that he is pregnant.
Prompt: Jim and Spock are together. Spock doesn't know about the baby - that is, of course, until they meld for the first time. Jim successfully had the baby, but was so out of it, he didn't know what happened after the birth and was convinced his baby was dead. As it turned out, their baby was very much alive. And Spock, desperate for a way to correct his egregious error and quell his 'human' emotions, will do anything to get her back. Even if it means taking her out of the hands of an intergalactic terrorist known as Khan.
Abrams Verse, please!

I've been watching the TOS episode The Gamesters of Triskelion and I was wondering what it would be like if Kirk had lost the wager and his crew was enslaved as thralls. Kirk is severely wounded, but his provider spares his life because he likes the captain's spirit and wants to turn him out to stud.
All of the providers are impressed with McCoy's skills at healing when he saves Kirk from almost certain death and they see the implication of getting the most out of their property. Like Galt, they make him an impartial non-combatant.
I would prefer a slash story with Kirk and Spock in an established relationship before the abduction to Triskelion. I'm not picky about the universe, it could be TOS or reboot.
- How does a pacifistic Vulcan survive not only slavery, but being forced to kill for another beings entertainment?
- How does a bonded Vulcan handle being kept away from his mate and knowing that said mate is being forced into sexual situations with females for the purpose of breeding?
- How would the crew handle their enforced slavery at the instigation of their beloved captain?
- How would a captain who is so conscientious over the safety of his crew survive knowing that their lives and their freedom are forfeit because of him?
That's all I can think of, so I'll leave the rest to whoever else likes what-ifs as much as I do.

Okay, this is new twist on an old prompt (the original one is not mine) that had once been circulating the K/S sites for a while. The original prompt was that Kirk is assaulted or gets secret Starfleet orders to seduce someone to get valuable information, the entire crew, including Spock, hate Jim because they think he's a cheating bastard.
I want a different take on it.
Here's my challenge.
Some crew member discovers Jim in a "compromising position", and the rumors start flying around the Enterprise that Jim cheated on Spock. The entire crew give their Captain the cold shoulder, and some try to convince Spock to dump his cheating lover. Spock is the only one who refuses to believe that Jim could ever choose to be unfaithful to him, and the Vulcan reasons that it must be a misunderstanding.
When Spock finally confronts his lover for an explanation, Jim 'confesses' that he was actually raped/or following secret Starfleet orders (author's choice), but that he was too ashamed/under orders to keep quiet/whatever to tell Spock the truth until that moment. Jim says that in order for Spock to be rid of any doubts about his integrity, Spock should mind meld with him to see the truth. Spock declines the mind meld, saying that he trusts Jim, and the fact that he even suggested it tells him that Jim's words are true.
Happy ending, right? WRONG!
Turns out Jim really was cheating on Spock the entire time. The whole story about Kirk following secret Starfleet orders or being raped, was just concocted by a panicked Jim on the spot to cover his tracks after getting caught. And Jim, being a gambling man, offered to mind meld with Spock because he figured that the fact that he offered would be enough to convince Spock that Jim was innocent.
Somehow Spock discovers the truth behind Jim's lies. Maybe he walks in on Jim in the middle of round 2 or confessing the truth to someone. Maybe an Admiral tells Spock that Starfleet gave no such orders. Who knows? Feel free to be creative.
When Spock finds out the truth, how will he react? Especially, since he had trusted Jim so completely as to give him the benefit of a doubt, even when the rest of the crew turned against the Captain. Will Jim be repentant for betraying his lover and try to convince Spock he's changed? Will Spock ever forgive him?
Whether this ultimately ends up with a happy ending or a sad ending is up to the author.
I'm totally cool with this taking place in the Abrams verse, though I'll be super impressed if you manage to pull it off and make it believabe in the TOS-verse!
Happy writing!

Jim and Spock are newly bonded with the T’yh’la bond – the strongest and most unique of them, but this time the bond instead of helping, being an anchor, guiding light etc, is actually the main source of the problem for the two.
During the away mission the away team is attacked by separatists and Spock is injured. Kirk must leave him behind in order to secure the ship, save the crew etc, and Spock himself urges him to leave (the needs of the many…). With a heavy heart Jim leaves. Spock is captured and viciously tortured and abused. During that time the bond calls to Jim but it cannot reach its other end. After a week or so Spock is saved and he is on his way to recovery, remorseful Kirk doting on him and offering him every comfort. But there is a certain uneasiness between them. It starts slow – Spock not confiding in Jim about his problems, not wanting to have sex, later not even wanting to sleep in the same bed. It’s getting worse – Spock cannot meditate, cannot rest, eat, concentrate – he succumbs to some unknown illness. In the end it turns out the bond is responsible for everything. The T’yh’la bond has actually a certain doze of consciousness and when Kirk abandoned Spock and did not rescue him when the Vulcan suffered, it “decided” that Jim betrayed the bond and should not be allowed to be near Spock again. So it started to influence Spock’s mind in order to permanently separate him for Kirk. The thing is, that the bond’s actions are killing the Vulcan in the process and a solution must be found soon in order to prevent it.
Bonus points:
The bond despite being part of Spock is not affected by his Vulcan (logic) and human (trust, faith) sides, so despite the fact that Spock knew that Jim had to leave and he was going to come back for him, the bond saw it as abandoning a chosen mate.
Spock Prime has no idea what is happening and cannot help. He tries to prepare Jim for the possibility that young Spock may die and I will love you forever if Jim actually has a real breakdown in his arms :)
McCoy being the one to sort out that it’s the bond thing and somehow participating in curing Spock

Captain Kirk has been made into a woman, a toddler, a cat, a Vulcan, and various other creatures and critters in his many adventures on KSarchive. Now, it's time for something a bit more...energetic.
Note: Romantic relationship not pre-established.
Abram-verse preferred, TOS acceptable.
CHALLENGE: James "Tomcat" Kirk has been turned into (Powers That Be, help us all) a dog. How this happens is up to you (alien technology, some weird ancient other-worldly voodoo, etc.), but it must be Spock that is forced to keep an eye out for the furry captain of the USS Enterprise. The crew can help, but they also need to try to hide his condition from the Admiralty to keep Jim from losing his Captaincy before they can reverse the change.
BONUS IF: You pick an energetic breed. Border Collies, Australian Sheepdogs, and other herding breeds would be good choices. All intelligent, most of them loving and loyal, and all of them are energetic. And mostly fluffy~!
BONUS IF: Kirk, at some point, gets too lonely at night locked in his quarters and scratches and whines at the joint-bathroom door until Spock reacts. How he does so (whether it is berating the dog or allowing him into his own room, or any other variation) is up to you.
LARGE BONUS IF: He still hops up into his chair on the bridge. C'mon, picture it - it's just adorable!
MEGA BONUS IF: He is protective of Spock in a threatening situation.
MEGA BONUS IF: Spock has no prior knowledge on how to care for a Terran canine. Kirk is thinking like a dog, not a person, and sehlats are much more intelligent than dogs.
MEGA BONUS IF: After being changed back, Jim's protectiveness of Spock and jealousy for his attention is still very obvious.
You can make this fluff and leave it at that, or continue this as a longer story that leads into a building relationship beteeen Jim and Spock. I prefer the latter, but fluff is good too. Good luck~!

Most of the time, when Kirk is written as a girl, the author changes the character completly. It's understandable. Our culture has ingrained a lot of false ideas about gender into our heads. But for once, I would like to see a girl!kirk who is everything her male counterpart is and more! Kirk is committed to his/her work, strong willed, cool under pressure, a loyal friend and the best strategist in star fleet. He/She has his/her flaws, too. He's/She's a big flirt and also proud. Some might even say arrogant. But she's/he's also reasonable and never lets her/his pride endanger the things he/she loves most... his/her ship and his/her crew.
Please! Someone write a decent female Captain Kirk story! They are too few and far between.

Q or some other entity decides the Big 3 got a raw deal so he sends their souls back into the younger bodies.
I would like to see a K/S/M fic. Bonus points for a 3 way T'hy'la bond
The fact that they are so comfortable with each other kind of freaks people out.
Bonus points for very confused vulans.

I was watching A Few Good Men last night, and the second I saw Tom Cruise waltz into Demi Moore's office munching on an apple and being an all around cocky shit, I knew I had to post this challenge, which calls for a reboot of the movie starring our favorite ST:XI characters.
I'm envisioning Kirk as Lt. Kaffee, Bones as Lt. Weinberg, and Spock as Lt. Crd. Galloway. (I'm fine with Spock being human, but no gender bending of any kind, please.) You can have the rest of the cast fill whichever roles you like. (I picture Sulu and Chekov as Dawson and Downey, but that's just a suggestion)
Can be a modern AU or a Starfleet "JAG" AU.
Don't feel as if you have to strictly adhere to the plot (or sub-plots) of the movie. (If I wanted to read the transcript of the movie with the character's names changed to ST characters, I could do it myself with a search and replace.) I very much want everyone to be in character despite their radically different careers.
The only other requirement is some yummy K/S, but if you want to keep it to sparks-flying pre-slash, that’s fine by me.
Bonus:
- Areel Shaw for the prosecution
- Some cute Spock & Chekov interaction (nothing slashy-- just big brother/mentor/two geeky peas in a pod stuff)

Cannedebonbon drew a beautiful picture of Spock in a geisha costume http://cannedebonbon.livejournal.com/112275.html. We both agree that this would make a wonderful story. Historically, men were the original geisha's and I would like to see a fic where Spock, was perhaps stolen as a child from his prominent family and sold to a geisha house in another province. James Kirk is captain of the Enterprise, a western ship on an exploratory mission to open trade with Japan.
What I'd like:
- Bottom Spock, please, with lots of angst and some h/c sprinkled in.
- Geisha's are entertainers, not whores. I would like to see Jim misunderstand the roll of a geisha and Spock sets him straight.
- Sarek is the minister/lord chosen to facilitate the trade agreement and hires Spock (unknowing that he's the son that was kidnapped from him years ago) the most prominent geisha in the land.
- Spock's parentage is discovered and in order to save his families honor, he leaves with his lover (Kirk) to go back to the west. With homosexuality bringing a death sentence in Europe, he continues to dress and act geisha. None of the crew (except for McCoy) know that he's a male.
*Bonus for Sybok (Sarek's older son from a previous marriage) being behind the kidnapping plot to ensure his place as heir and in revenge for Sarek setting aside his mother in favor of Amanda, a western woman that was the sole survivor of a shipwreck.
*Bonus for Kirk trying to seduce his geisha and winds up falling in love. **Double bonus for the feeling being mutual.
*Bonus for it to be illegal for Spock to handle weapons, but surprising his aggressors/assassins with martial arts (neck pinch?)
*Bonus for McCoy finding out Spock is male from having to give him medical aid. How surprised his is, is up to you.
*Bonus for a touching and emotional scene between father and son at their reunion and again at their parting.
That's what I'm hoping for, but I'll be just as happy with any kind of Geisha Spock fic. I know writing is hard work, but making it historical is even harder, so however this comes out, the author will have earned a lifetime of virtual hugs from me. :)
Please check out Cannedebonbon's drawing for inspiration.

I follow the train of thought that AOS has always been an Alternate Universe and the arrival of Spock Prime and the Narada simply caused even greater differences between the two verses. That and I was re-reading my fav fics by CMM and Awarrington and thinking about how the slightest tweak can cause so much change. Then I came up with this....
I've got this awesome idea growing about in my head. One day I may play with it, but not right now, so I place it here to see what others may do. When it comes to Kahn's back story.... What if the genetic modification was something naturally existent in a small percentage of humans and the genetic tinkering amplified it to the point it's at the level Kahn is. Then I'm wondering. How did they manage to round up all 73 people 300 years ago when Spock, Kirk, and the crew could barely catch one?
What if there weren't 73, but 74 and there's an even number because each of the warriors has a mate that is similar to the Vulcan concept of T'hy'la. 300 years ago their mates were used to force them into cryogenic hibernation. Kahn was woken without his mate, so he's missing his balance and having to exist in a timeline where everyone is hostile to him and holding his mate and people hostage. He knows his mate isn't dead. He can feel it, but he can't contact him due to the cryosleep.
With a few tweaks, when it comes to the assault on Starfleet during the meeting, he could have been aiming for disabling shots instead of kill shots. Because really, if he was aiming to kill, Kahn would have made sure to hit Marcus. He's supposedly extremely good at fighting. That would normally include good aim. Pike would be incapacitated, but not dead and Marcus would still be able to manipulate Kirk, but eventually Spock's logic and Scotty's pleas and resignation lead to the away team scenario. But when he's told of the torpedoes, one slight change. He asks "Just 72?"
Scenarios follow on and Kahn tempts Kirk with his history. Now, in this universe, Kirk is just bitter and cynical enough to have researched the darkest times of Earth's history. I could truly see him having found and researched this topic and learned that the genetic traits that were naturally part of humanity had since been repressed through the use of drug therapy. But if he knew the history, knew the reality and then took into context Kahn's implication that something is missing... Once they discover the men in the cryo chambers, he would put it together and come back to Kahn with the question of where's his mate. Revealing to Spock and Bones this hidden history of Earth.
From there much happens similarly, but if Jim revealed he was one who'd been born with this natural genetic happening and had it blocked as an infant as was common in his time when Jim went to Kahn and then offered to help him find and wake his mate. Bones may protest, but if Spock likened it to the T'hy'la bond, he would see the logic in it. This may be enough to convince Kahn to not betray them on the bridge of the other ship. Especially if once Marcus is in custody, they search for Kahn's mate and have him transferred to the Enterprise. Then instead of Kahn firing on the Enterprise, Marcus would need to escape custody and do so. Kahn taking out Marcus. Jim, Scotty, and Chekov saving the Enterprise with the touching scene between Spock and Kirk. Kahn setting the self-destruct on the black ship and beaming to the Enterprise. He wouldn't be suicidal. His mate is still alive after all and he couldn't do that to him. Then Kahn offering his blood when McCoy makes his discovery.
And then becomes the question of what to do with 74 individuals who's genetics were tinkered to amplify an aspect of human society that has been shoved into the darkest recesses of history for centuries. I think once everything was said and done they might do well with those on New Vulcan helping in the rebuilding and possibly finding that place Kahn had dreamed of for his people when they woke. He did say he'd dreamed of peace.
And then it's quite possible that the infusion of Kahn's blood could cause the awakening of Kirk's genetic legacy, though his is a part of natural evolution and probably not quite as extreme as Kahn's, though who knows it could lend itself to increasing his lifespan to a degree. Either that or the Vulcan's probably have a solution for that aspect. It would be fun to see how Jim's genetic history ties in to the T'hy'la bond with Spock. It'd end up Kirk/Spock I'm pretty sure. Of course there's always that possibility of Kirk/Spock/McCoy in this little alternate universe. But definitely Kirk/Spock at least. And Martin is always available as Kahn's mate....

Writers, mannipers and artists! Myself and a few friends, as many of you know, recently came together to do what I've been sort of referring to as a 'directed' or 'structured' Round Robin as an effort for a mutual friend and talented author ‘T'Lara’.
This particular project was for a mash up between West Side Story and TOS K/S. Our last contributor has just finished the final chapter and the general consensus is that we'd like to do more projects like this one in very much the same style--mashing K/S, be it TOS or NU, with various movies, plays, etc.
Most of our decisions are decided by taking a poll—for instance, we are about to start polling on which movie we want to mash up next. After that, we may poll on what characters will fill which roles in the movie (Kirk and Spock will always, of course, play the primary roles). Then, unless it’s to fill a particular challenge or prompt, like WSS was, we will also take a poll on which Universe—TOS/AOS/MU/AU. It’s not random the way that a normal Round Robin is random—where you post it up and anyone can add to it.
Rather, we divide up parts of the movie/play/etc. to be used and divvy out each part in a number equal to how ever many writers we have signed up for the project. (9 writers, 9 chapters) Each writer will need to craft their chapter based mostly upon two things: 1) what the author before them writes and 2) what is outlined in the part they signed up for. You then submit it for review and proofing, and then it gets posted, before anyone aside from the event supervisor (I just made that up) involved in the project sees it. So it’s really a surprise for just about everyone and a fun exercise if you’re up for a challenge.
As for mannips and art, if you feel motivated by a particular theme decided upon by the group, you can submit art and mannips to be posted alongside whichever part of the Round Robin you created it for. There’s really no huge guideline, so long as it is relevant to both K/S and the movie/play/etc the story is centered around and is created in a timely manner so that it's ready to post by the time the chapter it belongs to is ready. :)
Our poll for the next mash up so far is as follows:
Jurassic Park
When Harry Met Sally
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
If you are interested in learning more about how this works, please contact me via PM either using the contact form on the archive or by following my link to my facebook. Please be advised that in order to participate you WILL need to have a facebook profile and to add me as a friend so that I can add you our Round Robin group where all activities and interactions for various projects take place. I hope to hear from you! Believe me when I say that the experience is both rewarding and fun.

Basically, try to fit EVERY warning, story type, universe, and genre that ksarchive allows into one fic! Up to you whether you take it seriously or not. For warnings you can ignore none (duh) and caveat lector, and for story types you can ignore drabble, but otherwise everything must be included!
Quadruple points if you can fit every character ksarchive allows you.
