ššSPIRK FIC RECšš
This AOS one-shot is a lot of fun. It's an academy era fic in which Uhura dares Jim to learn any language she chooses, fluently, within one month. If he wins she has to go on a date with him, if she wins he has to report to Admiral Pike naked š of course, if you need to learn to speak Vulcan FAST, it's only logical to go straight to the source and ask for lessons from the only Vulcan professor at the academy.
anyway here's my top 10 academy era mckirk recs enjoy.
Step 1: Enlist in Starfleet. Step 2: ????? Step 3: Profit. by hellostarling
Jim spends three years at the Academy, and he totally manages it all by himself. Well, Bones helps a little. Or a lot. Maybe.
This is Jim's Starfleet education and all that entails: the ups, the downs, the prank wars, the winter vacations, and the awkward boners.
Once More unto the Breach by AnEscapeFromReality
James Kirk was the rudest student Professor Heleine ever taught. He stomped out of the middle of the professor's lecture like he wasn't a mere cadet. Well, the professor was done putting up with him. If he couldn't sit through an expert lecture, then he should give the lecture about Tarsus. That would teach him some respect.
What Sulu Sees by IsmayDeVain
How Kirk Slowly Endears Himself to His Crew by Becoming a Human Punching Bag, Plunging off a 300 Foot Cliff, Getting Crushed by a Giant Ass Pipe, Nearly Getting Blown to Itty Bitty Bits, and Suffocating Because of His Own Medically Inept Body. (Although, not necessarily in that order.) Or five times Kirk puts his crew before himself and one time they return the favor.
(this is post Star Trek 2009, but it includes flashbacks to the academy so I'm counting it.)
Shelter by schweinsty
Five times Jim told someone about Tarsus IV, and one time they already knew.
The World May Never Know by SadieYuki
How many lies does it take to get to the center of a Jim Kirk?
Or, five times Jim Kirk hid the truth from Leonard McCoy, and one time he finally opened up.
Cpt C. Pike and C/ J.T. Kirkās guide to unexpected Co-Habitation by InsaneSociopath
When the Admiralty first delivered their ultimatum, Chris Pike didn't know who ought to be more offended; Jim Kirk, for being treated as if he were incapable of being independent despite being twenty-two and a certified genius; or Chris himself, for not getting any choice in who lived in his spare bed room for the next twelve months dammit!
Or: Things Captain Christopher Pike learns about both himself and Cadet James T Kirk during their (not so) brief period of (initially) forced co-habitation.
Leonard H. McCoy's Guide to Keeping a Friend by highschool-facelesshellion (mutalune)
Leonard came to Starfleet with nothing except a half-finished degree and an empty bottle of cheap booze. It took him months to realize he had a best friend waiting in the wings for him to get his act together.
Or: How Leonard made a best friend by being an unobservant but decent person and how his conscience wouldn't let him be undeserving of the kid's freak affection.
Quirks and Their Side Effects by highschool-facelesshellion (mutalune)
Jim Kirk's always been a weirdo.
Leonard could use some more weird.
The Little Things by summoner_yuna_of_besaid
Jim thinks about how he came to this moment: how he just happened to go and visit Bones when the man was with a patient diagnosed with ADHD who was looking to refill his medication. Funny, he thinks as more tears roll down his face and his lips tremble, how the most innocuous little things can change your life, forever.
...
In which Jim Kirk learns about himself and his mind, struggles to understand it, and his friends and family help him handle the fall out.
Any Road Will Take You There by shoreleave
Slow-developing K/M, beginning right after the shuttle ride and showing what happens the first year at the Academy. Told from McCoy's POV.

(anyway drop into my inbox to cry with me about aos kirk)
Currently writing a fic post AOS Into Darkness where Jim wakes up at the end but instead of in the hospital is back at his first day at the academy with 3 years counting down to the events of the first movie.
Would anyone be interested in beta reading? The idea is that through his efforts he slowly becomes more like TOS Jim. Reach out, pls lmk, itās in rough drafting right now and could use some eyes on it
If you are ever in the market for a SUPREMELY HOMOEROTIC Star Trek book, The Price of the Phoenix is for you (if the cover alone didnāt give that away). Ā
Oh, and not only are Kirk and Spock clutching each other and mind-fucking in this scene, Kirk is completely 100% naked.
I have plans
I donāt have a specific Anxious Jim head canon (yet), but I was wondering if you could explain to me this common fanon idea about Jimās anxiety with food? What is it based on? Iām not trying to argue, Iām just curious!!
For sure.Ā
So we have confirmation that in The Original Series, Jim was on Tarsus IV.Ā Tarsus IV was a colony settlement that was hit by a severe famine after their crops were blighted in 2246. The governor of the colony, Kodos, panicked and made the decision to save half the colony (around 4,000) by exterminating the other half in favor of survival for theĀ ābetterā of the colonists, based purely on eugenics.Ā Ā
Staging a political coup and taking full control of the settlement, he made two lists: one list of who would be allowed to live, and another of those who would be sentenced to die. Gathering up the latter half, he delivered an address to the colonists:Ā
āThe revolution is successful. But survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives mean slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore, I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered, signed Kodos, Governor of Tarsus IV.āĀ
This event came to be known asĀ āThe Sacrificeā, and just over 4,000 people were put to death in one fell swoop.Ā
Supplies and aid came sooner than anticipated. The Sacrifice was not necessary, but corrupt politics and eugenics had already taken their toll. Jim Kirkā as well as Kevin Rileyā were survivors of the massacre. They are among 9 survivors that can positively identify Kodos the Executioner on sight.Ā
We do not know which list Jim was one, but fanon suggests that Jimā a young teen at the time of the massacreā rounded up those he could find and did his best to take care of them. He called themĀ āhis kidsā, and he put himself at risk to provide them with what little food and shelter he could.Ā
The Alternate Original Series has made brief, fleeting mention of Tarsus in Into Darkness, and fanon has decided that as there are constants in every timeline, Jim was most likely on Tarsus then, as well.Ā
As such, having been in a highly stressful and traumatizing situation for an undetermined amount of time, fighting for survival and denied adequate food and nutrition, it stands to reason that Jim has some food issues.Ā
Let me know if you have any other questions! Iāll do my best to answer!Ā
Kirk bod appreciation #4: The Curves. The Back. Poetry in motion.Ā
Here we honour the Kirk āhourglassā. The broad shoulders tapering into that lower back - and then flaring out again at those hips. Those HIPS. Those hips DO NOT lie. He has a broad back and such proportioning that one doesnāt always notice his hips arenāt so typically narrow, but stand him next to Bones or Spock - or even the girls - and just look at how endowed they are. Hot news: men have hips! And boy, is that hot. AND as if they werenāt gorgeous enough just existing in this flawless form, he actually swings them. Can we just correct another bro-ism: Kirk does notĀ āswaggerā. Kirk swings his hips. Like a sassy bih. This is one of the many reasons why James Kirk is special and utterly precious.Ā
Season 3 is the icing on the cake: he fills out a little, everything fits that bit tighter, and WOW. Look at that TURN, and the peek of the taut, firm Tumā¢. Hello friend, welcome. Kirk has what one might call theĀ ābubble tumā, like theĀ ābubble buttā. Thicc from the back AND front. Indeed, the shrink-wrapped glutes go without saying - it is a crime that we are never gifted, despite the shirts ripping constantly, a single moment of those *pants* ripping. That ass not able to be contained, bursting for freedom like his nips in Amok Time (which didnāt at all have sexual connotationsā¦NOT AT ALL). Spock blushing bright green. Bones rolling his eyes.
Now donāt be thinking these are just dribble-posts, like the bros do over the girls; no. This lightly humoured appreciation is partly in response to those who criticise Kirkās weight and build. Criticise WHAT I hear you cry??! I know. I donāt get it either. So here we are. Kirk, our intelligent, compassionate bookworm; our soft, smiling, curvaceous, chubby hunk who donāt need no six pack to be Jim Kirk. Itās part of his character; itās part of his physical presence, how he moves, how he walks. How he proudly inhabits that bod - and what that says about him. Heās a man, heās unbound; heās his own version. He communicates, enviably, body confidence incarnate, while busting stereotypes and being utterly true. What an icon. We love him and celebrate his beauty inside and out.
Jon comes back as a child and gets adopted by elias (keeping enemies closer)Ā
