Good day. THIS is the energy I want to see from SNW.
This one goes out to all my fellow spirk fans in the trenches this week. This is obviously the canon reason the SNW writers couldn't introduce Jim Kirk to Spock until this episode had occurred.

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC - MY FAVOURITES💙💛
As a follow up to my recent post about how few fics make it to my favourites list, and how special they are to achieve that distinction, I decided to share my current list.
I’ve shared some of these individually in the past but here you’ll have them all together. 
If you've read any of these already then I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you loved them as much as I did! 🥰
(NB: these are not listed in any order of preference. Mostly it’s the reverse order in which I read them)
Leave No Soul Behind by whochick Words: 258,951
AOS, AU Canon-Divergence. Spock, Kirk and the other valiant members of the Emergency Personnel Ambulance Service fight to save lives and turn the tide of the ongoing war against Nero and his fleet before it’s too late. Such a beautiful slow burn for Spock and Kirk.
Atlas by distractedKat Words: 135,529
AOS. Follow on from 2009, Kirk, Spock and the rest deal with the aftermath of Nero’s attack and rebuilding after the decimation of the ‘Fleet and Academy. An exciting tale with twists and turns involving black ops, bad-mirals, action, love and fierce loyalty.
The Lotus Eaters by aldora89 Words: 93,594
AOS. Stranded on a planet together, with multiple dangers and very little hope of rescue, Jim and Spock have no choice but to rely on each other to survive. Spectacular plot, amazing world building, fabulous original character and an epic slow burn Spirk love story!
With Your Feet on the Air and Your Head on the Ground by flippyspoon Words: 39,188 @flippyspoon
SNW. A phenomenal Spirk fic in which Kirk is stuck in Spock's mind while the crew work to find a way to retrieve his body. A wonderful getting to know you/falling for you hard tale. Wonderfully written and highly entertaining.
Evolution by Rhaegal (RhaegalKS) Words: 149,293
AOS. Covering the first year of their 5 year mission, this is totally flawless. The character voices are perfection, the prose spectacular. The whole thing plays like an AOS movie. It’s phenomenal.
Emotions by LadyRa Words: 35,569
TOS. Spock gets drugged on a shore leave and is overwhelmed with its effects. Kirk tries to pick up the pieces. A beautiful, and wonderfully grounded, story of realising how much they mean to each other.
And When the Bond Breaks by LadyRa Words: 24,631
TOS. Spock takes out a shuttle to investigate an anomaly and returns to an Enterprise that’s not his own. Time travel shenanigans with such emotional depth that it will traumatise you in the best way. Stunningly good!
All Our Tomorrows Come Today by flippyspoon Words: 18,156 @flippyspoon
SNW. A newly introduced Jim and Spock accidentally get a glimpse into the future and see what they’re going to be to each other (a.k.a. Spirk’s Greatest Hits). A stunningly told story about finding the great love of your life. 
I Won't Make That Mistake Again by Moreta1848 Words: 69,402 @jennelikejennay
SNW/TOS. An epic story detailing Spock and Kirk’s love throughout their lives, beginning from their meeting on Pike’s Enterprise (SNW) and continuing on to an eventual  Generations fix-it happy ending. Wonderful!
No Going Back, No Before by spirkme Words: 78,486 @spirkme915
SNW/TOS. Timeline shenanigans, spies, twists & turns, pining, angst, sacrifice and so so much love!
The 1,000 Hour Sleep by spqr Words: 27,227
SNW. Jim’s been infected with a pathogen that means he can’t sleep, but it he doesn’t he’ll die. Cue Spock and his Vulcan telepathy helping Jim to achieve the sleep he needs, while they get to know each other within their shared mindscapes. A sweet and exciting story about falling in love and overcoming your own inner demons.
First Best Destiny by Ophelia_j Words: 387,733
TOS/TNG. Such a very special fic. Epic in its scope, it covers the entire timeline of Spirk from their very first meeting through to a  clever and satisfying Generations fix-it ending. It provides extra scenes, additional dialogue and internal monologues to expand on existing canon in a really compelling and effective way. Truly this is my new TOS canon.
The Steadfastness of Stars by itsnatalie Words: 61,566
AOS. After Beyond, The crew investigate sudden climate change on a frozen planet and find more than they bargained for. The perfect mix of great plot, fun original characters, action, mystery, world building and deep deep love.
Let Forever Be by gunstreet Words: 43,446 @gunstreet
TOS. A really compelling character study of James T. Kirk. An excellent companion piece to City on the Edge of Forever. Exploring what Jim and Spock got up to, and all they had to overcome, while trying to find Bones and their way back home.
Time After Time by spaceisgay (ChancellorGriffin) Words: 138,921
SNW. Kirk spends a 6 month rotation on the Enterprise as part of his command training. OK, if there’s a favourite of my favourites then this may be it. It’s such a stunning version of their love story, with a beautifully constructed plot. It runs the emotional gamut from moments that will have you laughing out loud to moments that will have you in floods of tears. 
milk and honey by spaceisgay (ChancellorGriffin) Words: 28,651
SNW. Kirk and Spock meet for the first time when they wake up in a prison cell together. A really fun, and extremely clever, version of the ‘aliens made them do it’ trope. It’s intriguing and funny with a real depth of feeling throughout.
The Promised Land by gunstreet Words: 58,260 @gunstreet
TOS. A story that explores the time Jim and Spock spent apart between the end of the 5 year mission and TMP. It’s a beautiful story of reunion and renewal of love. Sometimes achingly sad, but it’s worth it for the happy ending.
Again, if you've read any of these already then I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you loved them as much as I did! 🥰

Spock: I do not understand the purpose of these...boops. Uhura: It's just for fun, Mr. Spock! Little gesture of affection from one PADD to another. Captain Pike thought it would boost morale. Spock: I... Uhura: What's the matter? Spock: ... Uhura: Mr. Spock? Spock: Commander Kirk has somehow booped me from the Farragut... Uhura: Your ears are TEAL. Spock: I DO NOT WISH TO TALK ABOUT IT.

Noticing that Spock generally keeps a personal space bubble around him during down time with the crew. He's present and participating, but he's not sitting on a couch next to anyone.
Tumblr media
He's not distant exactly, but he generally keeps his own personal space.
Tumblr media
There are exceptions of course. Often during combat he will shield crewmates, but in relaxed settings he tends to be an inch or two further away from everyone else.
Except for one notable exception and I can't find a picture of it, but he reaches over Kirk to grabs Sam's glass. Immediately invades Kirk's space to remove a minor annoyance.
Then

Vulcan kiss!

Y’all the moment when Kirk and Spock actually meet in strange new worlds is so perfect because Chapel, clearly not invested in the chess game, spent the start of the episode trying to define her newfound relationship with Spock as a situationship, even though it was the anthesis of what Spock wanted after his last relationship just blew up in his face because he wasn’t open and committed enough.
Meanwhile Kirk, watching them from a distance, wanted to engage with Spock on his terms. On his level. Playing chess. And then Spock makes the first actual move to interact because he too, wanted something equal. In that case, both of them shitting on Sam.
And they begin their relationship with a Vulcan kiss as opposed to a human one. (I know that’s not what the writers were going for but shhhh let me have my fun this is the most spirk we’re getting for at least 2 years)
What I’m getting that is despite Kirk and Spock’s love of 3D chess, their newfound relationship is a level playing field.

I am a Spapel.
But Spirks: You ushered in the golden age of AO3, and you’re so real for enjoying that hand-shake in SNW 2x06.
Chapel x M’Benga folks: M’Benga is so underrated; I see you and I love you.
Chapel x Ortegas girlies: You’re so, so right, preach to the bi choir.
Spuhura enjoyers: 10 y/o me watching Zachary Quinto & Zoe Saldana was right there with you, and Celia & Ethan bleed so much talent, I sincerely understand.
Countless others: Love yourselves and I love you too.
I am a Spapel.
But I am a Spapel of Peace 🖖🏻
Edit: This post feels very relevant

In SNW Season 1 Episode 10, Kirk says to Spock, "Impressive, Mister Spock."
SNW Season 2 Episode 9, Kirk says to Spock, "Mister Spock, you explained that very well. I almost understood it."
Kirk has only had a few lines directly to Spock in SNW. As in, this is half of them, more or less. And I think it's so sweet and meaningful that Kirk can't resist immediately complimenting Spock no matter what, in any universe where they're both still Starfleet. He's just drawn to him and I love that detail that he keeps gravitating back to this man, but he's not really sure why. It's just something about him. Their first meeting reminded us that they're not bound to be friends no matter what, but there is something there that says, just maybe they are. Just maybe.

I want Kirk and Spock to kiss in snw not because it would be good but because it would piss off William Shatner immensely

“Why do I feel like I’m about to be graded on my conversational performance, too?” “If conversational skills could be graded, surely yours would exceed the expected average.” “Only when I find the conversation to be… stimulating.”  - gunstreet, "Way From Within"
For this year's @ksadvent, @gunstreet and I teamed up for another collab!! You can read the her story HERE. You will find an amazing SNW-themed story full of time-loop shenanigans, rom-com elements, baby spirk, and one of my illustrations for each chapter. Happy Holidays!!!

I honestly think the worst thing Strange New Worlds could have done was forcing a female interest to Spock AND Kirk instead of listening to 60 years of devoted fans and implicit content.
We are in 2023!
Star Trek is about pushing boundaries and elevating society to a place where romance can feel natural, even between two men.
Give the fans what they want !

NOTE: Lil SNW Spirk drabble.
Spock was just about to dig into a steaming bowl of plomeek soup when Lieutenant Kirk of the Farragut sat down across from him, grinning in his friendly manner.
Spock blinked at him and said, "May I help you, Lieutenant?"
"Don't let me interrupt your dinner-"
"Thank-"
"Only I was wondering if you could give me the basics on how that ion storm disrupted our ops systems? I'm sure it's something I'm going to see again."
Spock started to speak, frowned, and said, "Have you never encountered an ion storm?"
"Well, yes. But I could use a better understanding of how they work."
Spock forgot about his dinner and fixed Jim Kirk with a wary gaze.
"Lieutenant, this is the sixth question you've asked me today concerning a subject about which I'm sure you are already knowledgable. You have already asked me about diplomatic relations with Andoria-"
"Your thoughts on it were invaluable!"
"And about experiments in the use of neutronium-"
"Well, yes, I've read about that. But I thought a science officer like yourself might have new insights."
"Lieutenant, is there a reason you continually ask me questions to which you already possess answers? Are you testing my knowledge?"
"Not at all, Mr. Spock! I ...suppose I just enjoy listening to Vulcans explain things to me."
Spock raised an eyebrow, perking up slightly. "Do you know many Vulcans?"
"No," Kirk said, resting his chin on his hands. "You're the only one."
"I...do not understand."
"I'm sure you'll figure it out," Kirk said. "You're the best mind in the fleet after all."
