Summary
When Spock begins eating three times his normal intake and his stomach starts growling audibly on the bridge, Jim Kirk does what Jim Kirk does — he notices, he shows up, and he refuses to let Spock push through it alone. What neither of them knows is that the hunger is only the beginning. That Spock's body has already decided something his mind has been refusing to acknowledge for four years and seven months. That the Vulcan Science Academy will call it a physiological cycle and McCoy will call it above his pay grade and T'Pring, from Vulcan, will call it by its right name — the human, she says, with the precision of someone who has been aware of him for three years through a bond worn thin by distance and disuse.
Spock calls it worse than that.
Spock calls it Jim.
A slow burn set during the five year mission, in which Spock's body knows what it wants long before Spock is willing to name it, Jim Kirk has always been paying attention, T'Pring is more understanding than expected, McCoy is a better doctor than anyone deserves, and the hunger is a metaphor and also completely literal.

Summary
Spock has made a grievous error. He has rebuffed and rebuked Jim’s friendship—worse, his very nature—at every turn since Jim’s ascendancy to captain of the Enterprise. And now that Jim has withdrawn, now that Jim has given up, Spock has finally realized the value of what was being offered.

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
It is becoming troublesome that the Enterprise, despite being a computer, refuses to perform the commands Spock asks of her.
He asks her for Kirk’s command history to ensure accuracy in a report. She provides a scrolling slideshow of frames, taken from a variety of recorded video communications, featuring Kirk’s… posterior.
“Computer,” Spock grits out, “that is not what I asked for.”
(Or: After radiation exposure, the Enterprise, newly equipped with a mind of her own, decides to bond with Kirk - and does a very poor job of it. Spock steps in to help.)

When Our Troubles Here Are Over by JaysAndRavens
Fandoms: Star Trek: The Original Series

Summary
It’s been a little over two years since Kirk was promoted to Admiral, and since the day Spock left in the middle of the night unannounced, headed for Gol. That’s when, seemingly out of nowhere, Kirk begins to show signs of fever and adrenaline overload reminiscent of the Vulcan pon farr.
After realising Spock is due for his next pon farr around this time, Kirk begins to theorise their experiences may be connected somehow. But if that’s true, then why isn’t Spock doing anything about it? In an effort to save both their lives, Kirk steals away on a ship bound for Vulcan. Shortly after his arrival, he is told that he and Spock share a telepathic bond, one which must be severed if Spock still hopes to complete the Kolinahr.
(Angst with a happy ending. There is an attempt at bond severing, but take one look at the two of them and tell me you think they can be separated. There’s also possessive desperate break-up pon farr sex half way through, so enjoy that.)

Summary
“When you are prepared for bed, I’ll need you to rouse me from my meditative state.”
“Rouse you, hm? And how am I supposed to do that?”
Spock doesn’t look up. He turns his attention to the sticks of incense on each side of his mediation space. “Physical stimulation.”

Summary
“Jim, shall we not proceed?” he asks, slightly confused by the delay.
Jim huffs. “Don’t talk about it like that, Spock,” he mumbles, somehow remaining affectionate despite Spock’s error. Spock tilts his head, even more perplexed.
“I am unsure how you would prefer me to talk about it,” Spock says.
“I would prefer,” Jim says, and he finally moves, leaning forward, bringing a cupped hand to Spock’s chin, “if we didn’t talk at all.” The kiss pressed to the corner of Spock’s mouth is sensual, ending with the click of Jim’s lips against his skin as they disconnect.

He always had a problem with sleeping with people under his command.
That’s what he always said when asked about it.

Summary
Spock was a moon freckled with green, fading below the Earthly sunlight; from their first meeting, it was explicitly clear to James that he didn’t belong in Iowa. He knew little of Vulcan, even less of their people, but he couldn’t imagine him existing among a people who tied their emotions into neat boxes and allowed them to fester. The other boy seemed destined to fill the places between the two planets, stuck in a dual orbit without ever taking rest.
Jim longed to join him.

“I believe,” he said in a soft, unassuming voice, “the Federation visitors do understand the meaning of soltath and kibiri. I see two who orbit one another as the moon around our world, as I around you. I beg you to give them another chance, my heart’s own goddess.”

Summary
“I really am fine,” Jim says. It’s just a cold”
There’s an odd sticking sensation in Spock’s throat. His concerns are logical. Jim’s earlier statement was not entirely true – Jim is his, his captain and friend. He would see him in good health as consistently as possible for both personal and professional reasons. They face so many dangers, have been put into peril so many times. It is irrational to assign morals to the universe, but it seems unjust that this uneventful stretch of deep space between missions should be marred with a virus. Jim needs the rest.
“I would prefer you to be more than fine,” he says simply, condensing the tumult of his thoughts into one clear objective. “I will assist you.”

2025 Philon Award Shortlist Nominee in the Novella Category
“Are you suggesting that we’re all disobedient children, Mister Spock?” Kirk asked, mock offense slipping off the syllables before he might have even affected it. His eyes were too alight with the spirit of mischief, mood sifting through the weariness of the day and settling, as it most often did, toward the sprawl of some hope.
When several ensigns go missing following an exploratory mission on a new M Class planet, Kirk and Spock beam down to retrieve them. Unfortunately, very little goes according to plan.Or: Stranding is a very real possibility when transporters are as sensitive and fickle as they are.

Summary
What might have happened in This Side of Paradise without Leila around?
"Jim." rumbled a voice at his shoulder, rich and smooth as melting caramel, enveloping him in a sweet and lovely embrace. "You see it now. I can feel it."
Spock. It was Spock. Of course it was- to be without him would be to be limping along missing a limb. The smile that was building momentum in Jim's chest spread, pushing against the muscles of his cheeks, feline and enormously pleased with itself.
Spock, Spock, Spock! His heart thudded frantically, joyously. When he finally turned to see his companion, it soared like a bird breaking free of a cage, swooping his feet off the ground and filling his head with giddy nothing.

“I have not.”

When yet another away mission goes awry, Jim and Spock are left stranded on a hostile planet with nothing to do but talk. What follows is a conversation about art and literature, life and death, love and friendship.
