Summary
“What day is it?” Derek demanded.
“What?”
“The day! What day is today?!” Derek let Stiles go, but only so he could reach into his pocket and pull out his phone. He tapped at the home screen, and then went so perfectly still that Stiles was pretty sure this guy wasn’t human. No human could stand that still.
When it was clear Derek wasn’t going to move again without some prompting, Stiles said, “It’s Wednesday.”
“That’s impossible,” Derek whispered.
“Not really, it comes around every seven days.”
“This is impossible,” Derek said again, looking around himself, as if he was searching for something.

Summary
“It’s every wolf’s dream. To find a perfect mate, to procreate. It’s a necessity, it’s healthy. It’s in our blood; akin to the moon in the sky, a wolf belongs to their mate. And humans don’t have the capacity to become a mate.”
“But I love him,” Stiles whispered, begged.
Talia stayed silent for a couple of minutes.
“That’s why you should understand it’s not healthy for him to be with you,” her words were simple and clear, like a piece of glass, but sharp all the same. “He will not find true happiness with you. You’re wasting his time. Preventing him from having a future he deserves.”

Summary
“I have a…” Jim shakes his head. “I have a tattoo of Spock’s name on my ass?”
Uhura nods, silent.
Of course. Of course he fucking does. Because life couldn’t possibly only be cruel enough to deposit at Jim’s side the most intelligent, incandescent, and attractive man from here to the end of the universe - couldn’t simply make that same man loyal to a fault or attuned to Jim’s every move - on top of it all, life just had to drive Jim’s head into that same fumbling brick wall every single time. He can’t even be angry at himself, only disappointed. Jim should have known that what is most important to him could only ever have been Spock.

Summary
“We were wrong about the pollen from Cetus II not affecting him,” Bones says in an undertone. “He didn’t get his senses tangled up like the others, though. It targeted his psionic abilities.”
or, Spock's telepathy gets screwed up on an away mission. Laying hands on his crewmates to train his senses back to normal is the only cure. Jim is happy to help—even if there are some feelings he'd rather keep to himself.

Summary
There is a place for you, here. I will bond with you and give you my name and protection. Take the first transport to the border of the Empire. I will arrange transport to Ironside. It will take you ten days, to reach me. I will be waiting for you, Steven.
It's not much. It's a handful of words and a promise and it's on the farside of the galaxy, past the Skrull Empire and into the Rim, the lawless planets that only freighters and pirates patrol. It's the place of people who want to be forgotten, the place of the truly desperate.
Well, he supposes he's that.

“Oh. You’re in my chair.”
The man glances up, his expression severe. Muscular, a little older, heavy eyebrows over a startlingly beautiful face. His hands are caught behind him at an angle— handcuffs wrapped around one of the chair’s back support bars.

Summary
A Sterek rewrite of the show, that stays mostly canon compliant in the beginning, shown exclusively through the eyes of Stiles Stilinski, unknown soul mate of Derek Hale.
Starts slow emotionally, my first attempt at a story of this degree please be gentle.Stiles grunted softly as he heaved himself onto the roof, his sneakers scuffing against the shingles. Scott—his best friend since forever—wasn’t answering his phone, and Stiles couldn’t wait. There was no way Scott was going to believe what Stiles had just overheard.
Keeping low, Stiles crept along the roof toward Scott’s window, his heart racing as the cool night air pressed against his skin. He tried the window, but it wouldn’t budge—it was locked.
“Of course it’s locked,” he muttered under his breath, rolling his eyes.
Knocking softly on the glass, he leaned in closer, squinting to peer inside. The curtains were drawn, giving him only a hazy, distorted view of the room beyond. “Scott,” he hissed, rapping on the window again. No answer.
Suddenly, the curtains shifted, and the window flung open. Scott and Stiles screamed, startling each other.

Summary
After a transporter malfunction, Spock ends up split in two! One Spock is fully Vulcan, and the other is fully Human. Amidst inner turmoil, romantic trouble, Federation BS, surprise family visits and galactic research conferences, will the crew of the enterprise be able to put Spock back together again before it's too late?
Excerpt:
“Captain,” two voices, the same voice, call back. And that is when they finally look at each other. And Jim notices something else. The shorter Spock’s ears are rounded.
The taller Spock raises a brow at the other.
The shorter one visibly starts, and then blushes a bright red-- not green, not even a little green- as he schools his expression.
“Holy shit,” Jim breathes.

Summary
“What’s going on?”
Scott made a strange, whiny noise at the back of his throat that made him sound a little like a kicked puppy. “Your scent.” He pulled on Stiles’s hoodie until their noses were practically touching.
“Scott, buddy, you’re going to have to be more specific.” Stiles rubbed a circle on the back of Scott’s hand with his thumb. “You know I don’t have werewolf senses.”
“You smell like… like…” Scott fumbled for words, his brow furrowed deeply. His eyes started to look a little wet, and that was something Stiles could not deal with.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay. I’m okay. Just tell me what’s wrong and we’ll fix it. I’ll—I dunno—shower really good, I promise.”
“You smell like something claimed you,” Scott finally said in a horrified whisper.

Summary
Here's the thing: Jim might have woken up in the past. He might have also woken in an alien simulation or a telepathic recreation of his past. This might even be a whole other reality.
But, with no way to be sure, there's really only one decision to make. As long as the chances aren't zero, Jim has to try to stop the upcoming destruction of Vulcan.
What makes this goal that much harder is doing it without looking insane. Or actually going insane as he constantly doubts his reality.- Language:

Summary
Kirk is working at Starfleet's Department for Interplanetary Affairs, when he'd rather be in the stars. But he takes comfort from texting with his online chess buddy.
Spock was born to be a prince, but his speech impediment makes it impossible to fit into his father's plans for him. Only in writing does he show his true self.
But when they meet in person, not knowing each other's online identities...they could hardly get along worse.

Summary
When Stiles unexpectedly presents as an Omega, his whole world shatters. His potential mate either unable or unwilling to support him, and being left vulnerable, he's sold off to the highest bidder. After a desperate attempt to take control of his own fate, he never imagines that operatives from the Omega Railroad would be his unlikely saviors. But that's exactly what happens.
Now, living and new life, with a new pack and fresh identity, Stiles is content if not happy. His world focuses on staying hidden and delving into the work of helping others like him. He never anticipates that familiar faces from his past will return, or the heartbreak he sees in their eyes when they do.

Summary
“I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”
“Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.
“I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”
”Father,” she corrects.
”Your father,” he agrees.
*****
An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

Summary
Jim and Sam settled into vacant seats at a centrally located table, Jim was too engrossed in the delectable Vulcan fruit and spreads to notice the sudden hush that had fallen over the grand ballroom. Sam, ever the more perceptive of the two, caught the change in atmosphere and nudged Jim, drawing his attention away from his plate.
Jim turned to see the cause of the stillness. Every eye in the room was fixed on the main staircase, where the prince was making his descent. He moved with a regal grace, weaving effortlessly through the crowd, his gaze sweeping across the room. And then Jim's heart sank to the bottom of his stomach.
The prince's dark eyes met his, holding his gaze with an intensity that sent shivers down his spine. He was walking directly towards their table. No, that couldn't be right, Jim thought, but those dark eyes were locked onto his, his sights fully set on Jim.
