I’ve been rewatching the original Star Trek movies for reasons, and somehow I don’t think I ever really put it together that Kirk stole the Enterprise and ruined his career with no expectation at all that he was going to get Spock back. The whole plan was to get Spock’s body and bring it and McCoy to Mount Seleya to do whatever Vulcan mystic funeral they need to do to preserve his katra; they didn’t know about Spock’s body being regenerated until they got to Genesis.
So Kirk’s endgame here was to end up both widowed and dishonorably discharged, with no Spock and no possibility of ever sitting on the bridge of a starship again. That is: without any of the things that make Jim Kirk’s life worth living.
He didn’t sacrifice everything to save Spock. He wasn’t supposed to get a damn thing for himself out of this mission. He sacrificed everything because if there’s even a chance that Spock has an eternal soul, then it’s his responsibility. In death as in life.
Jim has a healthy appreciation for formal Vulcan robes, and limited restraint after the conference ends. Spock wonders whether they’re getting too old for this, but is confident that whoever walks in on them will survive the spectacle. _____ – I finally made a blog for (more graphic) nsfw! Updates never. – Ask me about commissions!
What an amazing collection!! Thank you SO MUCH to all who participated in this year’s event–to everyone who contributed and everyone who appreciated these incredible works as they were posted. There were so many submissions!! So, with much pride and flailing, I present to you the…
i really hope that in the future, no one is pressured to change their family name because of something like marriage.
however………. someone mistakenly referring to Spock as “Mr. Kirk” is something i think about a lot.
…….Jim is always calling him Mr. Spock, so what if one day in their quarters, he flips it and starts calling him Mr. Kirk? Like just in a cute “you’re my space husband″ kind of way and Spock won’t admit it, but he likes it. It becomes their secret thing…until Jim slips up and refers to Spock as Mr. Kirk in public somewhere.
Imagine Bones overhearing this.
Someone from some non-Starfleet organization sends them an invitation to a formal event and it’s addressed to Mr. and Mr. Kirk.
The nameplate outside of their apartment reads: S’chn T’gai-Kirk
While teaching at the academy, Jim thinks it’s amusing to refer to Spock as “Captain Kirk” and see how long it takes for his class to figure out he’s not talking about himself
Filling out documentation like:
Last Name: | K | i | r | k |
First Name: | S | p | o | c | k |
Spock making reservations like:
“Yes, I would appreciate your assistance in reserving a table on the evening of XYZ at ZYX time. Place it under the name Kirk.”
Spock showing up like:
“Indeed. My reservation is under my last name. Kirk.”
Jim purrs in Spock’s ear, “Good evening, Captain Kirk.”
Before they’re officially married, Jim totally DOES NOT make a list of names to see how they sound, like “S’chn T’Gai Jim, Jim Spock, Spock Kirk, S’chn T’gai-Kirk Spock, Jim Kirk-S’chn T’Gai”
Boarding vessels for trips to Vulcan and the staff greets Spock like: “Welcome aboard, Mr. Kirk!” They then turn to Jim. “Good evening, Mr. Kirk. Your quarters are this way, if you’d both kindly follow me…”
Amanda sending letters to Spock and starting with, “Long time no talk, Mr. Kirk!” Sarek thinks this is entirely illogical (but secretly wishes he took the name Grayson)
After Jim passes on, Spock will only use the last name Kirk to refer to himself; he’s convinced that this helps to keep his husband’s memory alive
Here’s my contribution :-P
Imagine Spock getting to the invite first and being pleasantly surprised by his married name.
In case you can’t read the text, it states: “Mr. and Mr. Kirk - You are formally invited to a dinner in your name which will honor all of your combined accomplishments throughout your service. We request the honor of your presence on stardate 4579.33 at 2100 hours standard time.”
I JUST HAD TO ADD THIS.
“Mr Spock.” McCoy said.
“Actually, it is Mr Kirk.” Spock Prime said, sitting on the biobed.
The younger Leonard McCoy looked at Spock Prime quite oddly.
“What?” McCoy asked, surprised.
“You may call me Mr Kirk.” Spock Prime said. “You may call me Ambassador Spock but not Mr Spock.”
“So I take it Jim is marrying you–your younger self in the future.” McCoy said.
“Precisely.” Spock Prime said.
“You are not surprised.” McCoy said, then looked down toward the medical tricorder.
“Bones, we were t’hy’lara.” Spock Prime said. McCoy looked up in alarm from the tricorder. It appeared that his other self had yet to call the doctor by his nickname or the Tholian events to occur. “We loved our doctor dearly.”
Spock Prime saw tears growing from the edges of the doctors eyes.
“Excuse me.” The young brown eyed doctor left leaving Spock. “Nurse Chapel, please attend to Ambassador Spock.” And he made his way out of the sick bay placing a medical tricorder on the table. Spock saw the fresh, young blonde Christine Chapel. She was so young with light blue eyes. “Thank you, Christine.”
After retirement, they start going in schools to talk to kids about Starfleet and their adventures on the Enterprise. Of course Spock gets the shy kid <3
@spaceandstarlight did me a favor and I promised to draw Tos!Spirk in return. This is for you!
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
