Fanfic Rec (Spirk)
Sep. 19th, 2012 02:51 pmTitle: Leave No Soul Behind
Author: whochick
Genre/Pairing: Star Trek TOS/AOS x-over AU, Kirk/Spock
Story Type: Action/Plot, Angst, First Time, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, Romance
Rating/Warnings: NC-17/FRAO for Sex, Abuse, Explicit violence
Summary: If you're Starfleet, you spend your whole life wishing you never see an EPAS uniform right up until the moment they become your only hope. Whether you're dying a slow, cold death in space, or a long painful one on some godforsaken planet, they're going to come for you. So count your last breaths, son, and hold on tight. They leave no soul behind.
Rec Notes:
This is the best AU Trek fic I have ever read, and I have read a shitload of fics. This is a wonderful plot-driven story with sparkling dialogue, elegant description, realistic relationships, and it's SO in-character in makes me envious (because I sure as hell can't write spirk like that). The Kirk/Spock relationship in this is wonderful in that it creates a romantic relationship without letting the relationship subsume and completely define the characters. And it's nice and LONG! My only nitpick about the fic is that the ending seemed a tad rushed. But it's a minor nitpick, because the rest of it is just that good. I think this fic is more Abrams than TOS, but as it is very AU, that distinction more is academic. Give this one a try. Srsly.
