kirk is uhura's best girlfriend, srsly

It began as an obscure form of punishment. Nyota had rejected Jim in no uncertain terms; Jim was going to find a way to make her deal with him regardless.

Characters/Pairing: Jim & Nyota; Spock/Uhura; Kirk/McCoy implied Rating: PG-13 Words: ~2700 Summary: Boys. Girls. Clothes. Pon Farr.

The one where Uhura unexpectedly becomes Kirk's fag hag. Basically. (by trisfic)

Boys. Girls. Clothes. Pon Farr.

Four Consequences of the Unexpected and Unlikely Friendship Between James T. Kirk and Nyota Uhura. To sum up? Boys. Girls. Clothes. Pon Farr. Silliness and much lovely platonicness. Oh yes.

Summary: Boys. Girls. Clothes. Pon Farr.

Tame little rebellions, maybe, but in this family Ashlee's already learned to take what she can get.

"Look, it's like," she says finally, feeling drunk and dumb and bad with words. "I was raised to talk about God when you were sober and sex when you were wasted. As far as I can tell, in your world or whatever, it's basically the other way round." [Lovely, believable traces-canon-and-fills-in-the-gaps type Ashlee-centric fic.]

When she was 11, Ashlee Simpson hated her sister. While she never admits this in so many words, her actions back then spoke volumes. She resented Jessica’s elder status, the way her parents fawned over their firstborn’s dreams of pop stardom...felt inferior, awkward, left out. A popular girl at school in Waco, Texas, Jessica would regularly have friends over, banishing Ashlee to her bedroom upstairs. But Ashlee was a combative force even as a preteen, and she liked nothing better than embarrassing her sister...so, wearing only a bathrobe, she would stomp down to Jessica’s gathering, disrobe before everyone and play the guitar naked, all the while grinning like a lunatic.

REC: Very bittersweet, as well as hot. "When she was 11, Ashlee Simpson hated her sister. While she never admits this in so many words, her actions back then spoke volumes.

From day one it's clear to her that Jessica is the golden child.

Good look at Ashlee's life...

She knocks herself out to look hot and ends up looking like Jessica; she wraps herself all around Pete and is quiet and clingy all night. She drinks far too many vodka-redbulls and practically gropes him in all the pictures and then spends half an hour throwing up. -- Transcends fanfiction to be a story in its own right, it's just very very real and inspiring.

Later she'll write a dozen songs trying desperately to reassert that defiance, to recapture those days when she felt so precariously different, so attention-gettingly alive. It won't really work, not once they've passed through the hands of a dozen co-writers and producers and label people and Daddy.

>> From day one it's clear to her that Jessica is the golden child. << Oh Ashlee. This was so amazing. I have no words.

Because it is rheanna. What more does a person need to know? *hearts*

I love Gaila. She is fabu. Photosynthesis!

Uhura and Galia, cultural misunderstandings.

Nyota liked her roommate just fine until she met her.

Summary: Nyota liked her roommate just fine until she met her.

When I say Uhura+Gaila, I meant Uhura+Gaila friendship fic. =D

oh my, the first meeting with a new roommate can be FRAUGHT. Uhuru and Gaila, funny and awesome. (Also, Uhuru is in the GLEE CLUB which in a tiny nod to TOS canon that makes me very happy) NOT AN AU.

Nyota liked her roommate just fine, until she met her. (Cultural taboos, friendship, and a side of Spock/Uhura)

"You—you—masticator!" Gaila shrieked, backing away in revulsion. Which was how Nyota discovered that although Orion society had absolutely no taboos about sex, it had a lot of taboos about food and eating, and she'd just broken all of them.

the one where they find the zpms but hide them...

It had changed so gradually with Jennifer, was the thing. Rodney couldn’t pick a moment when he’d felt the balance shift from “this is fucking awesome” to “wow, I’m really middle-aged”.

toomuchplor : Waiting For My Real Life To Begin Rodney’s fortieth birthday had come and gone without much fanfare, either from his colleagues or, thankfully, from his own psyche.

Rodney’s fortieth birthday had come and gone without much fanfare, either from his colleagues or, thankfully, from his own psyche.

By toomuchplor. Rodney/Jennifer and then Rodney/John. In which Jennifer is adorably insatiable, and John is in the closet, and eventually there are ZPMs and awesomeness and Rodney exercises his veto power. :-)

McKay and Keller are dating, he starts feeling middle-aged, there are some mid-life crises around and McKay ends up with Sheppard

The obligatory angry, underaged non-con fic. Also known as, hey, why did Jim drive his step dad's car off a cliff?

Later on he'd never admit this, but his first love was books. Not just the shiny smooth surfaces of reading tablets with their bright, easy contrast screens-- real books with smelly, pulpy pages that felt good under his fingertips.

I didn't think I'd like this, but wow. D:

Star Trek movieverse fic that takes the fanon conjecture of alt!Kirk having been sexually abused and makes it work as a serious story, not an excuse for h/c. It's a painful and very compelling read.

The obligatory angry, underaged non-con fic. Also known as, hey, why did Jim drive his step dad's car off a cliff? Fascinating character study

very believeable and quite sad backstory in explanation to why Jim drove his step dad's car off a cliff

Very hilarious and has the whole team in it too, which is awesome. Kirk/McCoy, Spock/Uhura, Implied Sulu/CHekov, implied Scotty/right hand

“Women love the captain,” Chekov declares, tugging on one brown curl. Sulu and Uhura appear relieved that he has prevented any more references to Scotty’s lonely stay on Delta Vega, and Spock sympathizes. “Even I know this, back at school. He would have no time! Dr. McCoy is his best friend, not boyfriend.” Sulu cocks his head, his face slowly split by a grin. “Care to make a wager on that?”

We've read this, but I wanted to bookmark it anyway <3

OMG THE CHAIRSEX IS HERE!

“Where has the captain gone?” Chekov glances around, brow furrowed. While he seeks intellectual approval from Spock, he looks up to Kirk as some kind of elder brother whose varied qualities and habits are worthy of emulation. Spock considers this to be an unhealthy fixation, although Uhura says it’s only harmless hero worship – until Kirk’s tutelage leads to Chekov picking up some alien sexually transmitted infection, anyway.

The one where the crew bets on whether or not Bones and Kirk are doing it.

Uhura loses a bet. And there's sex in the captain's chair.

OMG THE CHAIRSEX IS HERE! Kirk/McCoy, Spock/Uhura, implied Sulu/Chekov, implied Scotty/right hand.

Kirk and Bones find out that the Bridge is betting on whether they're together. They (Jim) decide to have fun with it.

Ethel wore an extremely large pince-nez kept attached by a chain wrapped round her horn. The first thing she ever said to Alicia was: "Tell me, my dear, have you ever let a prince try to fit his glass slipper on you?"

"Brianna refused to dance at all. She threw her ball dress out the window and went riding and said we were oppressed by the tyranny of an unjust patriarchal system. Why isn't she in trouble?"

Faced with compulsory unicorn chaperones and a dozen perfect princesses, Alicia should have just given up and gone home then.

"The slumber test is a great tradition of our Academy," the duchess observed. "My personal friend Aurora of course holds the all-time record. I myself slept for a most refreshing year. I see that you lasted ten minutes, and were discovered creeping down the stairs." "I had insomnia," Alicia muttered. "I was just going to get some hot milk. And perhaps a biscuit."

Can Alicia, a decidedly ordinary princess, pass the Princess Academy and save her kingdom? In which here are unicorns as chaperons, accountants that only look like frogs, and a lot of adventuring.

Hysterical parody of the traditional "fairy-tale princess" story. The characters are believable, even as stereotypes. The plot is good, and the ending does not disappoint. Highly recommended.

A short story by Sarah Rees Brennan

"When you were a child," Sarek finally said, looking older than Spock had ever seen him, "you would disappear into the mountains for days. It would worry your mother. When you returned, I would punish you, and you always endured it. But it did not prevent you from returning to the mountains."

Spock had no opportunity to address Nyota in private until 16.8 hours after their return to San Francisco.

If he were to die in this attempt, there would be no other opportunity to reassure her as to the depth of his affection for her, and that her actions had neither been unwise, nor unwelcome. Therefore, he could not remain silent.

"To the stars." The beauty and difficulty and solidity of Spock and Uhura's relationship, post-movie. Leaves me smiling. [lj]

more Uhura/Spock. *loves*

But the last thought he'd had before the world around him exploded with light was that he promised to return to her. He wished to keep his promise.

Both pre- and post-movie; Spock and Uhura's relationship sparks, develops. Really nice.

long, thoughtful, and thorough telling of the growth Spock and Uhura's relationship from Spock's perspective, during and following the events of the movie. rich with detail about things previously only hinted at; this is precisely how I imagine them to be.

A sort of missing scenes fic for the movie with Spock and Uhura - very nice, and has both of them acting like intelligent grownups - win!

missing scenes

When Bry thought about her post-touring future, she always imagined herself crusading for truth, justice, and girls in the music scene. She'd picture herself managing female artists and female bands because that was where her passion lay, showing that girls had a place in the scene and a right to take it up. She never imagined My Chemical Romance. [Bob/Brian of my heart, no lies]

It's eighteen months into their five year mission that Jim finally, really asks the question. Alternately, see title.

I love this Kirk. And Spock makes me smile.

“So…” Jim begins, dragging out the vowel sound. “She just walked up to you and said, ‘Let’s be in a relationship’ and you just went, ‘Yeah, okay. Sure.’”

“I am half-Vulcan, Jim, not half-dead.”

For his part, Jim has absolutely no idea what to say to that other than a protest that there had to be some really important (likely sexy) stuff left out in the middle there.

does what it says on the tin

Kirk asks Spock how he and Uhura got together. Fluffy fun.

It is eighteen months into their five year mission and over a game of tri-d chess that Jim finally, really asks his first officer the question that has burned in his mind ever since the veritably world-shaking events that demanded it be posed. "Spock, seriously. You and Uhura. How did that happen?"

cuuute. love kirk's mind imploding over imaginary uhura seduction scenes - apple! - and that she started it, with a written argument. sweet. shewhohathapen: Star Trek: AOS //

“I am half-Vulcan, Jim, not half-dead.” :D

mucking about with language

Linguists have been trying to explain for over a century—ever since a cultural anthropologist first published with the intent to connect differences in culture with differences in language by examining the roots—that the Inuit people of North America do not in fact have an inordinately large number of words for frozen precipitation.

Vulcans have no word for "lover".

she hopes he can taste what she can never find words to say.

A delightful poetic story dealing with linguistics. This is actually Spock/Uhura, but it souldn't bother anyone.

With every touch of her hands to his face, her fingers tracing the curve of his cheek and jaw, she draws a map of the uncharted lands between them so he might find a home in the circle of her arms.

There are no words for this. It cannot be contained by ink on paper or sounds carried by the wind.

There are at least five different words Uhura has identified in both Modern Vulcan written and spoken language for spouse (bond-mate, joined-but-chaste, joined-but-parted, joined-never-parted, parent-of-my-offspring), and four for friend (companion, secret-keeper, friendship-like-kinship, and friendship-closer-than-kinship). There are Old High Vulcan endearments (half-of-my-heart/soul/being) that she has never heard spoken—and most likely never will, the embracing of the teachings of Surak changing the language of Vulcan even as it changed her people. But there is no word for someone with whom one has an intimate, physical relationship outside of marriage.

Speaking in Tongues Spock/Uhura, pre-movie. "The first time she earns one of Commander Spock's rare smiles, she knows she's chosen the right path." And sequel: The Seven Year Itch Spock/Uhura, pre-movie. Pon farr.

Rating/Classification: R, Spock/Uhura, sexual content (pon farr alert!), a few dirty words, pre-movie

Hooooooooooot. I am constantly amazed that something like Pon Farr is actually canon. A short piece that is half-porn, half-hilarious, and all great. I loved Uhura's voice in this.

Summary: It's only within the confines of the lab, or Spock's quarters, that they allow themselves to experiment, to act and react. Notes: The pon farr-focused sequel to Speaking in Tongues, full of warmth and intimacy. I fell into the story easily and felt happily satisfied by the end.

Oh, Spock, she thinks. You gorgeous, wonderful, idiotic meathead of a Vulcan.

It's only within the confines of the lab, or Spock's quarters, that they allow themselves to experiment, to act and react. Sequel to "Speaking in Tongues"

"No," she tells him again. "I am not going anywhere. You need me, and I will stay for you. For *whatever* you need."

It's only within the confines of the lab, or Spock's quarters, that they allow themselves to experiment, to act and react.

"It's only within the confines of the lab, or Spock's quarters, that they allow themselves to experiment, to act and react." Companion to "Speaking in Tongues," followed by "Reason and Rhyme."

"Stop being so stupid and stubborn already and take your pants off."

"You're such a romantic," Spencer says, wiggling under him. "How did I ever get so lucky?" "Spence," he says, suddenly serious. "Look. I want to. I want *you*. You know that, right?" She nods, biting her bottom lip and looking up at him a little hesitantly. "Now are you going to stop being mean to me and let me get you off?" He smirks at her, can't help it, and flinches away from the smack she throws at his arm. "Fine," she says, "but if this goes terribly wrong I'm going to say I told you so."

"I swear to god, Ross, I will break your scrawny ass directly in half."

I'll even read het as long as it's bandom genderswap THEY ARE THE SWAPS OF MY HEART

"If I tell you look beautiful right now, are you going to call me a dick?"

Awkwardly teenaged Girl!Spencer and way-too-smooth Ryan.

Elementary logic leads to an obvious conclusion.

In which Spock and Uhura trade logic and poetry

Pre-movie fic, Spock runs into Uhura in a bookstore. Cute and fun.

spock observes stuf, uhura checks mates him and he misses his bus stop. impeccably hot.

Elementary logic leads to an obvious conclusion. Smart and witty dialogue, excellent characterizations.

He was struck with a sudden, illogical awareness of the fact that he was standing in a dead-end aisle, with no available avenue of retreat, and moreover that he would be trapped here until Lieutenant Uhura chose to stand aside and allow him to pass.

Elementary logic leads to an obvious conclusion. Spock/Uhura

The layout of the Old Downtown bookstore recommended to Spock by Admiral Hernandez was highly inefficient.

Uhura and Spock meet cute in a bookstore, and Uhura wows Spock with her awesomeness, OF COURSE.
