Star Trek (reboot)

gen crack

delta delta vega (pg-13) (~4,000 words)
Author's summary: Some things are timeless. Alternatively: Kirk starts a frat at Starfleet Academy.
Thalia's thoughts: If you've ever known a frat boy--and I don't know anybody that hasn't--you will laugh at this story.

Kirk/McCoy

and you take me the way i am (PG-13) (3,483 words) and its companion, One In Four (PG-13) (4,505 words)
Author's summary: 1st- "Aw, hell, Jim. I'm as emotionally constipated as you are." 2nd- If there's one thing an alternate version of yourself can teach you, it's 'don't get ridiculously hurt when your significant other can hurt you so much more'. Kirk's left to figure out why the alternate version of himself got so much luckier than he did.
Thalia's thoughts: To be fair, these are separate stories, but they are ten times more satisfying when read together. The first is woman!Bones/Kirk, and the second posits what might happen if those two then met an unconsummated man!Bones/Kirk. Super great premise.

I'm Just A Jealous Guy (PG-13) (3,276 words)

Thalia's thoughts: Perfectly pitched McCoy, perfectly romantic and respectful story.
the illustrated man (R) (1,905 words)
Author's summary: "McCoy is never going to stop laughing at the enormous ball of idiocy that is James T. Kirk."
Thalia's thoughts: I particularly love the Jim here. Hee.
In A Moment Close To Now (series) (adult overall) (~34,750 words total)
Author's summary: 1st- Bones plans on spending his thirtieth birthday alone with his jazz, his bourbon, and a book. Jim Kirk does not approve of this plan. 2nd- McCoy finds out where Jim gets it. 3rd- After his ex-wife's death, McCoy is forced to leave the Enterprise to look after his teenage daughter. Under normal circumstances, this would be the end of…whatever it is he has with Kirk that's more than friendship, but less than what he wants. But the universe has other intentions.
Thalia's thoughts: The imagery from the first one has stuck with me since I read it, which is saying something considering the amount of fic I read. And if you stick through it and read them all, it's a very satisfying read with good charactedrs and a lovely romance.
Leonard McCoy, Cheater of Destinies (NC-17) (no length given)
Author's summary: There are many alternate destinies. Yet out of the infinitely diverse destinies of Leonard McCoy and James Kirk, this is the one that lives to be told.

Star Trek (reboot) RPF

Zach Quinto/Zoe Saldana

baby, we'll be fine (NC-17) (~2,370 words)
Author's summary: [none given]
Thalia's thoughts: My personal canon for this pairing. Gorgeous prose.
Some People Ain't Me (PG) (500 words) & its sequel I'll Throw Away My Striped Tie (PG) (600 words)
Author's summary: 1) Wearing couture in front of some people is like casting pearls before swine, seriously. Chris and Zoe commiserate. 2) Just because a certain someone lured you into playing for the other team these days, that doesn't mean everything has to change. Or, Zach and Karl commiserate about their fashion-mad mates over a few games of eight-ball.
Thalia's thoughts: Also Chris/Karl. So it's my two fave fandom pairings rolled up into a short awesome dialogue. Plus, I agree with them both when it comes to fashion. ;) And the sequel is equally adorable, with succinct statements about love that I adore.

Tease (NC-17) (no length given)
