![]() T’Prina’s character is a shining light in this story, and as a well-developed, interesting female original character of color, she’s rarer than, well, a JJ Abrams shot without a lens flare in it. For many, it’s considered an unreasonable risk to include original characters in fanfiction, and, due to the oft-misogynistic nature of slash fandom, it’s especially risky to include female OCs. One of the many reasons I love this story is, in a word, T’Prina. When Kirk and a Vulcan cadet named T’Prina are kidnapped after an away mission goes awry, Spock is forced to take command and try to get them back however, rising tensions between the Romulans and the Federation make that increasingly difficult. The sequel to You’ll Get There in the End is called War Games, and where the previous work was all about the Kirk/Spock relationship and sex and romance, the sequel is in essence a rollicking space pirate adventure story. The other major part of this series is the real reason I wanted to rec this work. This story weighs in around 30k, and the tension and build between Kirk and Spock is delightful to read. However, being in close contact with the psychic noise of Kirk’s desires forces him to acknowledge certain desires he himself has been repressing. Kirk calls a shore leave and hides in his mom’s house, trying to ride out the pon farr without having to bring either Spock into it, but nu!Spock is concerned enough for his Captain and friend that, armed with a personal pharmacy from Bones, he goes out to the farmhouse to watch over and attend to Kirk. In this story, it’s Kirk, not Spock, who’s experiencing the Vulcan mating urge, as a side effect of the mind meld with Ambassador Spock on Delta Vega. The first part, You’ll Get There in the End (It Just Takes a While), is a pon farr fic, but it puts a spin on the trope in a way I haven’t seen in other fics. It's hard to describe, but if you're the kind of person with "too many feels" you might get where I'm coming from.It’s been quite some time since I’ve recced a Star Trek fanfic, and even longer since I’ve been active in the fandom, but I’ve been meaning to recommend this fic for ages and the time has finally come.Īuthor seperis’s Reboot series is made up of a few separate fics all set as part of the same storyline/universe. I want to see people - real people - acting out my stories, taking it from my mind into the sold, real world. I hope someone will read it and want to get it out into the world. I hope to finish a story before too long. So I sit at my keyboard and type for hours on end, giving my brain to my characters, using metaphors to express ideas I can't say simply through their mouths. There are days when my desire for this is so overwhelming that I can't even think about anything else. To give my voice room to echo, to find ears to listen to it. I have such a big voice and such an opinionated mind but I have nobody to express myself to. I want them to want to talk to me about my ideas. I want people to read my work then get excited for the next book coming out. I feel like I want people to know who I am. More recently I've had a feeling growing inside me about becoming a famous author. More than that, I enjoy it more than anything else in the world. ![]() Sometimes the characters run away with my plot and I'm good at handling that too. ![]() I'm good at creating characters, sticking them in weird situations and imagining what would happen. To start with, I just wanted to do something that I'm good at. There are many reasons I want to make a name for myself as an author. ![]()
