Some Enchanting Linguist

Note: Just a lil SNW Scott/Uhura with a small side of Spirk because the mood struck me! Takes place after Hegemony but Gorn have been vanquished everything's fine now.

Summary: Uhura introduced Jim Kirk to the love of his life and Jim Kirk returns the favor.

Montgomery Scott had run out of things to do in engineering and only a few quiet gamma shifters were left, the lights dimmed as he sat on one leg, staring bleary eyed at his PADD. It was nearly time for alpha shift. Soon the lights would get bright again. He had already spent the better part of the last five hours hunched in a Jeffries tube rewiring a turbolift just to see if it could run a little more smoothly and swiftly, not that anyone had asked him. But it was something to do and in taking the lift with Captain Pike down to engineering the day before it had seemed slightly off kilter to him. And even if it was more likely his own edginess making him feel off kilter, well, he’d already finished everything Pelia had given him to do and then lied and said he’d go to bed.

Now all he had left were his old equations, a hobby since his last year at the academy and occasionally the reason his grades had sometimes suffered. The point right now was to keep busy. This didn’t quite fit the bill. It was too open ended. Tedious work was better. Tedious mindless work kept him from thinking about the Stardiver and how now the worst words in the world would forever be on his Starfleet record: sole survivor.

Still his little hobby was comforting even if he was fairly certain it was completely unsolvable.

A shrill whistle startled him and he frowned, scratching his stubbled chin.

“Y’ello!” A voice echoed in the shadows of the dark and dingy corner of engineering where Montgomery had holed up. “Anybody in here answer to Mr. Scott?”

“Aye!” Scotty leaned back in his chair, frowning in the direction of the shout. “That’s me!” He craned his head, squinting into the shadows as a figure stepped out in command gold. Scotty spotted the stripes and hopped to his feet. “Commander?”

“Kirk!” Kirk nodded, smiling easily, and stuck out his hand. “James T. I’m on the Farragut, but Captain Pike keeps luring me back over to the flagship and I’m not complaining. And you’re Scott.”

“Yes. Eh, Scott, sir.” He smiled tightly, shaking Kirk’s hand. Kirk’s eyes flicked down to his greasy fingers and Scott winced. “Montgomery. Lieutenant junior grade. Sorry about that, Commander. I’ve been at it a bit down here.”

“No worries, Mr. Scott,” Kirk said, winking. “Killer work ethic, huh? When’s the last time you slept?”

“Aye, well…” He scratched his head, pulling a face. “Dinnae think that’s goin’ to happen anytime soon.”

“Yes, I heard about the Stardiver,” Kirk said. He reached out and clutched Scott’s shoulder, squeezing gently, and there was something genuinely comforting about it. Scott had experienced just about enough pitying looks from some of the crew on the Enterprise. Not that it was their fault. But Kirk was matter of fact about it in a way he appreciated. “Been there. Trust me. Hey, could you eat? It’s about breakfast time already. I’ll be honest. Pelia sent me down to check on you and I was curious to meet you.”

“Me, sir?” Scott haphazardly wiped his hands on his pants as he followed Kirk out to the corridor. “And why’s that?”

“Haven’t you heard what they’re calling you, Scott?” Kirk said.

“Eh…no?”

“Montgomery Scott, Lieutenant genius grade.”

Scotty’s eyebrows jumped and he smiled genuinely for the first time all day. “Oh, aye? Cannae say I mind it then.”

“Can I ask what you were working on over there?” Kirk said, gesturing behind them. “Looked pretty wild.”

“Eh, last time I told anyone about it I got laughed outta the room, sir.” Yet Scotty suspected Kirk wouldn’t laugh.

“Try me.”

“Transwarp beaming,” Scotty said, half-whispering as if conveying a great secret. “Just a little project of mine since academy days.”

“Well, I’m not laughing,” Kirk said. “But that is certainly ambitious.”

In the turbolift Kirk grabbed the lever and said, “Deck five.” Then as it began to move, he frowned. “Hey! Lift’s movin’ extra smoothly today. Feels good.”

“Thank you, Commander.” Scott puffed his chest out a little. “I was workin’ on it all night.”

“Wow. Nicely done.”

The corridor to the mess was bustling as alpha shift was beginning shortly. He’d stayed up all night and he could feel it in his bones and behind his eyes a bit, but still he did not want to be in his quiet quarters and crawl into a bed alone. It was much better to be around people. Alive people. People. Not gorn.

“Commander, can I ask ye somethin’?” Scott said.”A bit…personal?”

��Sure, but if it’s personal, why don’t you call me Jim?”

“Aye. Jim. About the Stardiver. You said you’ve been there yourself.”

Kirk’s expression darkened and his hands were tightly clasped behind his back. “Yes. More than once. In a matter of speaking.”

“Does it get get any better then?”

“Yes,” Kirk said, nodding firmly. “But it will always be hard and I won’t lie, it follows you forever. Good news is, if you need a friend, this ship seems to be a good place to find one. So I hope you stick around, Mr. Scott.”

“I can think a’ worse fates,” Scotty muttered.

In fact, having gotten a good look at the Enterprises’s engines, Scott had already declared his undying love. They would have to tear him away with the jaws of life, he supposed.

The mess was crowded and Scott felt like a cloud of unwashed filth next to all the bright eyed and well rested and squeaky clean crew carrying trays to their usual tables, all of them smiling and amongst co-workers they’d worked with likely for years.

Scott stuck close to Kirk and loaded up his tray with two muffins, scrambled eggs, a pile of bacon, fruit, and a massive cup of coffee. When he turned around again, Kirk was gone, and he mildly panicked a moment before spotting Jim waving at him from an empty table.

Scott dove into his breakfast without preamble and was halfway finished before muttering to himself, “I am hungry.” It was a bit of a relief to realize it and to enjoy what he was eating, replicated or no.

Across from him Jim chuckled and lifted his coffee as if in a toast. “Good.”

Scott was swallowing the last of his bacon when he glanced up and breathed in sharply, feeling as if someone might have just brained him with a hyperspanner.

“Commander Kirk. Eh…who’s…who’s that?” He nodded vaguely at a figure across the mess, his gaze fixed on beautiful dark skinned young ensign in ops red whose incandescent smile was fixed on Mr. Spock as she carried her tray.

Jim followed his gaze and a slow and drunk looking smile crossed his face. “Oh yeah. That’s Mr. Spock.”

“Not the Vulcan,” Scott said. “The ensign. She’s so…” He shook his head, unable to think of an appropriately effusive descriptor.

“Oh! Nyota?” Jim took a swig of coffee. “I’ll introduce you.”

“No no nono wait!” Scott sputtered, but Jim was already standing and waving the ensign and Mr. Spock over to the table. Mr. Spock he’d already met. The Enterprise’s science officer. Whether Spock even remembered him or not, Scott had no idea. Spock’s eyes were fixed on Kirk as he sat at the table across from him. Eventually, he spared Scott a polite nod.

“Nyota!” Kirk said. “This is Mr. Scott. Scott, this is Ensign Nyota Uhura. She’s to linguistics what you are to engineering.” Jim clapped him on the back and said, “This is the guy who built the transponder and all those gorn traps out of nothin’.”

“Really?” Nyota said. “You’re that guy?”

Scott reflexively stood as the others were sitting down, blushed, and sat down again. He cleared his throat, dazed by Uhura’s glimmering brown eyes and the friendly smile now fixed on him. “Yes. That’s me. Scott. Montgomery. Lieutenant. Junior grade. Very nice to meet you. Ma’am. Er. Ensign, that is.”

Uhura’s lips parted and her eyes widened. “Your brogue is magnificent!”

Scotty blushed from the tips of his toes all the way up to his grease scuffed forehead. “Oh! Ah. Thank ye.”

She pointed at him and said, “You’re not from Aberdeen, but you spent some time there, didn't you? How long?”

“How did you know that?” Scott said. “I spent about seven years there as a lad.”

Uhura tapped her ears. “That’s what I do, Mr. Scott!”

“Oh!” He leaned on his hand, his breakfast forgotten. “That’s so fascinatin’. So how many languages do you speak anyway?”

“Thirty-seven Earth languages,” Uhura said, and Scott was entranced by the way she slightly batted her eyes. “But now I’m mainly studying as many non-Terran languages as I can get my head around. Vulcan, Andorian, Denobulan-”

“Crivens,” Scott murmured. “That’s amazin’.”

“You know, I was close to our former Chief Engineer. Hemmer?” Uhura swallowed, and Scott felt a pang of sympathy immediately recognizing the subtlest expression of grief. “He always said engineering was really quite similar to linguistics. Seemingly unrelated systems communicating?”

“That makes a lot of sense!” Scott said.

“Well, Mr. Spock,” Kirk said next to him. “Seems our presence here has quickly become redundant.”

“It would appear so,” Spock agreed. “I am not certain they are aware of our presence at all.”

“I’m sure they aren’t,” Kirk said, and smirked at Spock, leaning forward over the table. “I am certainly aware of yours however.”

“I am seated right in front of you, Commander,” Spock said, raising an amused eyebrow. “It would be odd if you were not aware of me.”

“Is it odd that I’m always aware of you even when you are not seated right in front of me?” Jim said smoothly, and Spock lowered his eyes, his lips curving up a little.

“You talked to aliens with music?” Scott said. He slapped the table. “Did ye ever hear the like?”

“Hey Scott- Scotty!” Jim had to wave to get his attention again. “I bet you’d enjoy hearing Ensign Uhura here sing, wouldn’t you?”

“Jim!” Uhura hissed and punched him in the shoulder.

“You sing too!” Scott’s eyes lit up.

“Sometimes,” Uhura said, sitting up straight. “Mr. Spock accompanies me on the lyre.”

“If you would be amenable to singing tonight, Ensign,” Spock said. “I am available to play.”

“Ooh!” Kirk rubbed his hands together. “Now I’m excited. Scott, you and I are in for a treat.”

“I just bet we are, Jim,” Scott murmured, sitting back as he and Jim gazed on Mr. Spock and Uhura. “I’ll bet we are.”

Wrapped my Obsession fic this morning.

Obsession is a great TOS episode and shows Kirk with some major scars from the past. So I thought it would be interesting to explore the cloud incident on the Farragut as it actually happened. And also put Spock there because otherwise what's the point, right?

It's pretty angsty but, like almost all my fics, ends happily. Themes of trauma, grief, mental health, etc.

Review: Wild at Heart (1990)

Wild at Heart (1990)

Rated R

Score: 5 out of 5

Wild at Heart is a quintessential David Lynch movie, a film that's not as weird as his reputation suggests but gets treated as such anyway (including by Popcorn Frights, who hosted a screening this past Friday night) because he often uses a lot of stylish camera tricks and goes for a very offbeat tone. The "non-linear storytelling" is really just a very liberal use of flashbacks, and beneath the stylization, the story is very coherent, even if it doesn't hit the beats you'd normally expect. What it is, rather, is a film that carries the substance one would normally expect from Lynch, a melancholy exploration of Americana as our protagonists take a long road trip across the South that evokes a dark subversion of The Wizard of Oz. It's the kind of movie where you can immediately understand why a musician like Lana Del Rey seemingly built her entire persona around Lynch's films, as I found myself immediately drawn in by its modern-day Southern gothic atmosphere, its captivating lead performances by Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern, and the mounting sense of dread as two seemingly star-crossed lovers take a long road trip and encounter a number of increasingly weird characters along the way. I've heard that it's divisive, regarded as either one of Lynch's best films or one of his worst with not a whole lot of middle ground between them, but as somebody for whom this was his introduction to Lynch's films, I can say that I'm certainly intrigued, and eager to seek out his other movies.

The film opens in Cape Fear, North Carolina with one of our two protagonists, Sailor Ripley, getting targeted for murder by Marietta Fortune, the wealthy, snobbish mother of his girlfriend Lula, only for him to brutally beat the assassin she hired to death in front of a large crowd at a fancy party. Two years later, with Sailor out on parole (the court judged that, while excessive, he was acting in self-defense), he and Lula immediately hook up again, much to the horror of her mother, who sees him as a sleazeball who's corrupting her daughter (and also wanted him for herself). Thus begins a long road trip as Sailor and Lula drive west in a vintage Ford Thunderbird, breaking parole, while unbeknownst to them, Marietta hires the private detective (and her on-and-off boyfriend) Johnny Farragut to retrieve Lula -- and also hires the vicious gangster Marcello Santos to outright kill Sailor.

The plot of the film is largely in Marietta's side of the story, but the actual meat of the film concerns Sailor and Lula, a pair of young lovebirds on the run. Everybody involved with the film has described them as two halves of one character, and that is how they function, a young couple deeply in love who won't let the disapproval of Lula's mother get in the way of that love. While Nicolas Cage does get one of his famous freakouts at the start of the film, for most of it he's channeling Elvis Presley and James Dean, and not just because he's in a T-Bird and sings the King's romantic songs to Lula; from his accent to his snakeskin jacket, he projects an image of '50s cool that even the film itself admits is kind of a put-on, but it's one that he makes work. Laura Dern, meanwhile, was both beautiful and challenging as Lula, the rebellious daughter of an aristocratic Southern belle who's seen up-close the hypocrisy and hidden horrors of her upbringing that you're not supposed to talk about in polite company. And together, I fully bought their love story. Not only was it hot as hell (fair warning: there's a lot of sex in this movie), the two characters at the center were compelling thanks to Cage and Dern's performances, such that I wanted to see them together and quickly came to despise Willem Dafoe's character in his brief but instantly despicable role. In real life, you know that a relationship like theirs shouldn't work, but on the screen here, it did anyway. The ending of this film was a difficult one that could've easily turned corny, but it felt earned.

The supporting characters, too, were outstanding and prevented the film from just becoming a meandering mess, the big one being Diane Ladd as Lula's mother Marietta. We're shown early on that Marietta wanted Sailor for herself, the implication being that she's jealous of her daughter's relationship with him and has decided that, if she can't have him, no one can. Further revelations of her past with Sailor only drive home just how disturbed she actually is, especially her history with J. E. Freeman's Santos and Harry Dean Stanton's Farragut, the men she sends after Sailor and Lula, and how Sailor's life intersected with hers in the past. Willem Dafoe, meanwhile, is only in the film briefly, but his character Bobby Peru immediately steals the show once Sailor and Lula meet him in a small town in Texas, an absolute scumbag of a criminal whose entire time on screen is spent doing, planning for, or implying terrible things. The whole movie is filled with the kinds of little characters who you might encounter in these kinds of small towns, as well as minor figures in the characters' lives, played by a host of character actors like Crispin Glover, Sherilyn Fenn, and Isabella Rossellini. "It's about the journey, not the destination" is a cliché, but it absolutely applies here: I felt like I was on a road trip with Sailor and Lula as they journeyed across America, blissfully unaware of Marietta's goons coming for them.

Lynch, for his part, does a great job of capturing that dreamlike feel on the screen. His American South is a land of lonely roads, rock music, and interesting sights that you might not experience anywhere else. The brief plot detour involving the people who crashed on the side of the highway, for instance, may not have had any real plot purpose, but it did a lot of work building up that sense of dread as you began to suspect that Sailor and Lula's journey was not going to end well for them. It was stylish without feeling stylized, a film that made great use of the rural South from the forests back east to the dust of West Texas, and it got me in the feeling of taking a long journey to nowhere in particular, reminding me of some of the sights I saw last year driving from Florida to Utah.

The Bottom Line

It's a hard movie to describe, and it's not for everyone, but I absolutely adored Wild at Heart. I'm now eager to seek out the rest of David Lynch's filmography thanks to this beautiful, captivating dark romance, a film where even the few flaws I could come up with felt like they were put in there for deliberate effect. Check it out.

I had a dream last night about some internet friends spirk like falling in love with each other over chess and just. It was so beautiful.

This fic had freaking everything. Chess. Sexting. Tarsus IV reference. Mix of the timelines. Like

Jim does a semester on the Farragut. Spocks under pike. Jim mentions his “uncle Chris” and Spock doesn’t put two and two together that uncle Chris is captain Pike. They exchange PADD ID’s so they’re communicating more when not playing chess.

Jim will message him before making his checkmate move with a little “I win ;)” and sending it to Spock.

IM NOT SURE HOW BUT THERE WAS SEXTING INVOLVED BETWEEN THEM I DONT REMEMBER HOW.

Jim hacks into Spock’s personal file and saved his starfleet photo ID after realizing he was staring at it for too long. And it’s saved as his profile picture. He vows to get a better one; perfably one where his hair is disheveled and a blush on his face.

Like. This dream was so good it could have been a series.

Anyways. So that’s my next big project is turning it into a fic after I finish my commission and my sidlink fic.

Spirk Fic

So I did a thing wrote this silly fic fore SNW because any tiny bit on Spirk content and I go ferrel. So here it is

He said you have nice tits didnt he?

zzeacat

Summary: Is this stupid? Yes. Did I still feel I had to write it? Yes.

Yes I wrote a whole fic on the simple premise that Spock in SNW has a very prominent chest and James T Kirk would absolutely love that. We always see the love for Kirks's beautiful iconic tits that he shows off in his ripped shirt but SNW gave us Spock with a nice chest. This is literally silly crack treated a little too seriously with some fluffy feelings added in. Plz read trust me it is a fun time.

*James Kirk Pov*

When James Kirk had been called to a conference room by Pike himself to work on a big project he was thrilled. His brother had promised to recommend him for the role, but he didn’t think he would actually get here. Kirk knew he was smart, but this was the Enterprise, he knew he was only an ensign on the fast track to command sure but still and ensign. Samuel was waiting outside the conference room when James arrived.

“Did you do this dude because I am eternally grateful if you did”

“I wish I could take credit but no I didn’t even have the chance to sell you to Pike before the crew was chosen. Spock chose the group. You were handpicked by the Vulcan himself that is an achievement”

James smiled and puffed his chest a little in pride. But felt nervous. He knew of Spock he did have the reputation of being… a cold-hearted stick in the mud.

“What is he like… Lieutenant commander Spock?”

Samuel smirked and James knew his brother was already looking forward to seeing him sweat.

“You will be fine. He will probably hate you, but he hates almost everyone, except Pike and Uhura it seems”

James swallowed nervously and nodded. Great pep talk. He straitened his yellow shirt pulling at the base and moved to the door. He was greeted with a sight that made his mouth go dry. The great captain Pike of course but it was Spock that made Kirk’s brain pause. He knew he would be young. Spock graduated early and had such high grades that he moved right to the bridge, but he didn’t know how young. Or how cute. Spock was standing next to Pike hands behind his back well-formed arms and chest on display in his neat Starfleet blues.

“James Kirk welcome” He snapped from his distraction to smile politely and greet the captain.

“I understand you are Samuels younger brother”

“Yes, I am sir”

“Your brother is a fine officer I am happy you could come aboard from the Farragut to work on this project”

“Thank you, sir,”

Spock remained silent but Kirk could not help but look back at him repeatedly.

“This is a science project to clean the atmosphere of Delta 4 as you know so you will be working closely with my head of science commander Spock. I hope that won’t be a problem?” Oh no. did Pike interpret his staring as some form of xenophobia? Pull yourself together James. Spock was just hot.

“No sir it will be an absolute pleasure I am sure” Kirk looked back at Spock as he spoke eyes drifting down his form. It was defiantly inappropriate to flirt with his superior officer in front of the captain, but the ever so slight twitch of Spock’s eyebrow was by far worth it. Pike didn’t seem upset. His stern face morphed into a deep smile as he looked from Spock to Kirk. He was definitely amused.

“Glad to hear it. Please get yourself set up on the ship you brother will show you your quarters.”

“You are to report to me at 0, 700 hours tomorrow in the B1 science laboratory on G deck” Oh god he even sounded good. Kirk was so screwed. He nodded formally and turned and left the room before he further embarrassed himself, he could feel Pike still giving him and amused look. Samuel was waiting outside for him.

“So how did it go”

“Why didn’t you tell me Spock had some of the nicest tits I have ever seen!” Samuel looked both offended and deeply amused as he cackled.

“I guess I should tell you Vulcans have really good hearing and these doors are not thick enough” James flushed ad grabbed his brothers arm dragging him to the elevator.

“I will kill you!” Sam only laughed at his brother

“Only you would look at Spock and decide that is what you wanted”

“What are you crazy! He is very attractive I don’t know what you are on bother but that is an attractive man…Vulcan whatever. And I told you to warn me when I was going to be confronted with hot people because you and I both know I cannot help but flirt” Samuel smiled rolling his eyes

“Half human half Vulcan actually. And are you telling me you walked in there to talk business with your superior officers and managed to flirt with Spock of all people!”

“ Only a little I promise… He was pretty what was I meant to do I mean his… and it just happened” James gestured to his chest indicating exaggerated pecks and sighed as if he was doomed for defeat from the start. Samuel smacks his own face into his palm. His brother was absolutely going to ruin the relationship with his co-workers he had worked on because he was an insatiable flirt.

The rest on Ao3

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛

This is another amazing duo of fics ('Bells on a hill' and 'I want to hold your hand') by @flippyspoon.

Our favourite SNW boys get themselves in a pickle (what's new) when Spock is faced with the onset of Pon Farr and Jim offers to be his partner to get him through it. Jim is expecting a good time with the guy he has a massive crush on, but things become much more intense than either of them expected. In the immediate aftermath, and still reeling from the unexpected revelations of their time in seclusion, Jim is called back to the Farragut for an emergency away mission to an icy planet. It quickly becomes apparent that separating so soon was a terrible idea!

If you enjoy the "oops we bonded" trope then you can't do much better than these two fics 🥰

First meeting of Percival Drayton and David Farragut, as described in the book Farragut's Captain: Percival Drayton 🥺💙🌊

Transcript under the cut↓

Drayton's superiors may have been more alert to his concerns than he supposed. On October 1, 1852, he was ordered to report to the Ordnance Department at the New York Navy Yard. Upon arrival, he and two other lieutenants were assigned to fifty-one-year-old Capt. David G. Farragut at Old Point Comfort on the tip of the Virginia Peninsula. There they assisted him in testing the power and strength of different classes of guns by firing them until they burst. Drayton's working relationship with the future admiral, at whose side he was destined to stand at the Battle of Mobile Bay twelve years later, began here. For nearly a year, the team worked on the project, and their results were published in a pamphlet issued by the Bureau of Ordnance entitled Experiments to Ascertain the Strength and Endurance of Naval Guns. Farragut found Drayton "an energetic fellow, full of zeal." At this time, the energetic fellow was described as being 5' 11¾" tall with a sandy complexion, grey eyes, an aquiline nose, and dark brown hair. 13

‘Tens of Thousands’ Saved During International Meetings

Since 2006, Pete Sulak, a chiropractor and self-described charismatic Christian, has taken his message of healing of body and soul far from his Knoxville office.

In December, Sulak plans to travel 8,400 miles to Andhra Pradesh, a southern state in India, through a nonprofit he founded called Matthew 10 International Ministries. He said he takes no salary from the ministry.

“I preach a simple message,” said Sulak. “God created a perfect world, sin destroyed it. Jesus fixed it, and you can receive it.”

Sulak said he will preach in English with a translator to Telagu, the local dialect.

“At a recent festival, I preached 300,000 people in four nights, and the largest crowd was 130,000 people,” said Sulak. “We were able to see tens of thousands of people give their lives to Christ. We've been able to plant 15 new churches, and many of the existing ones will grow.”

In the Knoxville, Tennessee area, Matthew 10 International Ministries sponsors local Christian movies, Sulak said.

“We do that just to be a blessing to the community,” said Sulak. “We pay for it, provide free food for everybody and invite our patients and people around the community to come. I usually present the gospel at the end.” Their next sponsored movie is “The Remaining,” at West Town Mall on Sept. 4.

Overseas, Sulak partners with Manna Group of Ministries in India, which runs 42 children's homes. Matthew 10 finances about 150 of the 5,000 children they house, Sulak said. He expects to see the children in December on his next visit. “They call me daddy, and I don't deserve that at all,” he said.

“Dr. Pete Sulak has preached in nine festivals as well as assisting in support for children homes that we run,” said Manna Group chairman, the Rev. Sudarshan Jyoti Komanapalli. “He has also assisted in building of a children’s home, and in some remodeling projects in some of our homes. He has also introduced us to others who have donated to our work.”

Sulak said he never thought he’d be a chiropractor, or a preacher, growing up in Minnesota.

“I was going to be a coach like my dad and grandfather. But once I started dating, I realized I needed to make more money, honestly. We had a family friend who was a chiropractor and offered to pay my expenses if I’d go into business with him.”

Sulak graduated from Northwestern Health Science University in Bloomington, Minn., and had an internship in Morristown, Tenn.

"I was expecting to go back to Minnesota, but the door closed there, which we thought was strange. So we began to look around here. And on the last day we were driving from Maryville to Oak Ridge, took a wrong exit in Farragut and said, ?This is it.' "

Sulak said he knocked on 11,000 doors, 10 hours a day for four months to drum up business in 2002 in West Knoxville. “That’s hard for an introvert. People see me on stage, and don’t believe it. They don't realize my wife's the fun one. I’m shy.”

Sulak’s wife, Stephanie, stays home with their four sons, ranging from ages 5 to 15. The whole Sulak family followed “Dr. Pete,” as he calls himself, to Knoxville. His mother and sister work in his office, and his brother is a chiropractor in North Knoxville. “My dad helps drive the kids around,” he said.

Although he grew up in a Christian home, Sulak said it was a mission trip to Africa in 2004 that changed his life. “I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. My prayers changed because I had an encounter with the Lord, and realized my life was not my own, and I’m meant to share the Gospel.”

He has no formal training in preaching. “No, I just love Jesus,” he said. “I’m just a chiropractor in Knoxville, Tennessee. My Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.”

Sulak prays with his patients, but said any healing or saving of souls is not his own doing.
