Summary
Don’t fucking do this, Eliot thinks as he picks up the dog. He’s surprisingly light, lighter even than his skinny body would’ve suggested, and Eliot thinks of the unopened bag of kibble on the shelf in his pantry. You don’t have time for this, he tells himself as he takes off, running as smooth as he can towards his house.

Summary
“I’m goin’ to die for them,” he says to Sophie, before he ever says it to Nate, and it is not a simple statement of fact but a barebones confession, the helpless bleeding of a wound that he was too smart to not know had been made but he’d been putting pressure of for years, hoping that with spit and a prayer that he could make it heal, but he never could, isn’t sure that the stitches that could close that wound have even been invented.
“Yes,” she says, “And how long have you known that?”

Summary
When Spock was born, his father suspected he wouldn’t be much of a telepath, not with half human blood. But to everyone’s surprise, his telepathy is powerful and precise. By the time he is ten, he is reading his teachers’ minds when they try to read his. Sinking into another’s mind is as natural to him as opening his eyes.
And he is curious, so curious, always. About the stars, about science, about every mind he encounters. He didn’t go to space to meld with new and exciting alien minds, but it’s definitely a perk.

Summary
Kirk still didn't get to slot a dagger between Pike's ribs. It is agonising, the way the captain fiddles with what, in Kirk's mind, is already rightfully his - the control panels of the Enterprise, the leans of the captain's chair, the clasp on Spock's shoulder, Spock's hair.
If he was captain, Kirk thinks begrudgingly, he would never touch his woman like that. His woman is his jewel. His beautiful, polished, favourite knife.Or: Kirk wants to be captain. Spock wants Pike to to disappear. Caught in the Empire's net of lies, blood, sex and domination, they find a way to power - and to each other.

Summary
Kirk would rather be shot by a phaser, actually. He can deal with the impact, the fuzziness of his thoughts as he fights his way through the stun, the inevitable bruises when he stumbles and falls, the blast mark that might last a few weeks and ache under his clothes. That’s a known quantity, that’s a process he’s comfortable with. Spock purring because Kirk called him a good girl is a little much.

Another of Devotion's Casualties by Moreta1848
Fandoms: Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek
20 Oct 2023

Summary
Spock knows what humans say about him. His ears are too keen to miss the whispers. He has been referred to as Kirk’s pet. As his servant. As his bodyguard. As his shadow.
A relationship does not exist among humans that corresponds to what Spock is to Kirk. In Earth’s past, perhaps, it did, but it has been lost. He has read enough Earth literature to have found it in Lancelot and Arthur, Sam and Frodo, Olivier and Roland. But there is no name for it, no reference to search for. And when humans recognize it for what it is, there is this trace of disgust. Because it is unequal. Because they feel it is shameful to be in the position that Spock is.
It is the deeply held loyalty of one man toward another. It need not be returned; most often it is not, or not in the same way. Spock felt some of that for Pike. But what he feels for Kirk staggers him with its strength. It speaks deeply to an instinct within him which he cannot deny. Not that he chooses to protect Kirk. Not that he wants to follow him. That he must. That he will. That, in the second between danger and thought, his body moves on its own.

Summary
The ISS Enterprise was perilous for a half-Vulcan.
The tenuous peace treaty between Vulcan and the Empire gave Spock his position as Lieutenant Commander of the Enterprise, but afforded him no protection beyond his own shrewdness. After years of service as a pawn in the Empire's game, his stumbling across one of Pike's concubines shreds his valued control in mere seconds, and begs the question - why did Pike leave him alive? How did James Kirk acquire his fearlessness and can he be utilised to facilitate the rebellion?

"Kill Everything!" by CampySpaceSlime

Summary
It's a big universe, ripe for the Empire's taking and Captain Kirk is the best in the business at the art of taking things for the Empire. Armed with a phaser, a dagger, and a mostly emotionless Vulcan, Kirk conquers every shithole star the universe can throw at him.
He's not gonna let a pesky thing like love get in his way. Not when there's beautiful people to fuck, assholes to blast into atomic dust, and a starship crew that listens when he gets to bark out his favorite order:
"Kill everything!"

Summary
A new directive from the Imperial Fleet requires all officers of command rank to enter into legal marriage. On the ISS Enterprise, the order’s purpose is obvious: to allow political operatives to gain influence within the lucrative exploits of the flagship and divert more profits and power to the Admiralty. As the deadline approaches, the captain and first officer of the Enterprise devise an unlikely solution that forces a deeply personal reckoning.
