28	* Recommended by {{Tropers/dedicatedfollower467}}
29	* KCS usually does one-shot and drabbles, but everything written is spot-on. The stories have an excellent grasp of canon - I'd definitely say the stuff has an OriginalFlavor. What's unusual about the author in many ways is that the stories don't try to set up a particular ship or even focus on a particular character - while most of it is Big Three-centered, you'll find that they range all over. Definitely enjoyable work, go check it out!
30	** Seconded by {{Tropers/scarletclarinet}}. Brilliant writing and characterization. Lots of short pieces, but author has an admitted habit of taking short pieces and expanding them far beyond the original scope (e.g. the ''FanFic/{{Insontis}}'' series). Plots vary from original to filling in the gaps before, during or after canon episodes. Absolutely wonderful to read.

34	* A collection of stories published in the fanzine the Orion Press, written from the 1980's to the 2010's and spanning the in-universe timeline from pre-TOS to early TNG. They have the advantage of being screened and edited and are generally polished and enjoyable works written by a pool of pretty consistent contributors. They definitely conform pretty strictly to canon, and occasionally fanon.

83	* Recommended by Capt. Equinox
84	* ''Status'': Complete
85	* ''Synopsis'': One of the oldest TOS fanfic works, the ''Kraith'' series dates back to 1969. It was a maturely written exploration of the Trek universe, with particular focus on Spock and Vulcan culture. It sparked great controversy and was deplored as much as embraced by fans. Its professional, polished quality caused it to be adopted as fanon, almost as canon, by thousands if not millions of fans. ''Kraith'' remains the only fanwork to actually have plot elements incorporated into the film and later series. [[http://fanlore.org/wiki/Kraith Much more background on Kraith here.]]

90	* ''Status'': Complete
91	* ''Synopsis'': Begun in 1967 and first published in 1974, ''Alternate Universe 4'' is still considered one of the most outstanding ''Star Trek'' fanworks. It depicts a fourth alternative universe (the first three are canon Star Trek, the Mirror Universe and ''Kraith'') in which Kirk is cast out of the Federation for his role in the destruction of a heavily populated star system. He changes his name and becomes a navigator on an alien freighter. He is recognized and recruited by a member of ''Lightfleet'', a secret space service existing in parallel to Starfleet. Founded by an ancient, idealistic alien race, it's named as the organization Gary Seven was working for in "Assignment: Earth". Intelligently plotted and sensitively written.

100	* Recommended by Nerdman3000
101	* Status: Dead; last updated April 2018
102	* Synopsis: The premise of this massive alternate Star Trek timeline is based on what if Khan Noonien Singh and the Augument’s won the Eugenics Wars through one last ditch effort tactic: engineering a genetic virus, known as the Ascension Flu, which results in any future children born infected with the virus to be born as Auguments.
103	* Comments: This timeline is massive, spanning from the end of the alternate Eugenics Wars to, according to the author, the events of an alternate Star Trek Nemesis. Incredibly detailed, and long, this is probably one of the most impressive works I’ve ever read. I actually did a wordcount, and at the time of this writing, Marth 5th, 2018, this timeline is over 212,000, and has only now just gotten into the events of First Contact. A pretty impressive work.

115	* ''Status'': Complete
116	* ''Synopsis'': Kirk and Spock land on Veyga, a pre-warp, medieval-fantasy-style planet that has unfortunately been made aware of the wider universe by the Klingons. As they attempt to negotiate a successful trade agreement with the Veygans while navigating the cultural waters, our duo is attacked by the mysterious Shadowguard. They must follow the clues in an attempt to discover their assailant's motives, and in the process uncover the dark secret of Veyga. Don't let the "dragons" fool you- this is not crack. Kirk and Spock are IC and have some lovely understated moments of character interaction. The medieval styling is just a fun theme for what is a very Science Fiction story with an interesting ethical quandary worthy of Trek.

Events will bring new challenges both to their personal and professional relationship, and to the balance of power in the Federation. Common Touch is the first part of a two part story." A very interesting and intricate novel length character study exploring Spock and Jim's relationship during and after the ending of the five year mission. Feels very close to canon, but isn't actually canon compliant. If you are not an emotional masochist like me, you might not enjoy the extremely painful separation and conflict between our favorite command team which is the focus of this story. Just thought I'd warn you. [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9560123/1/Common-Cause Common Cause]], about events following "The Menagerie", is the prequel.

Taking the name Thomas Baroner (from "Errand of Mercy"), he becomes Spaceman 3rd Class on an alien freighter and is soon recruited by a member of ''Lightfleet'', a very idealistic but clandestine space service founded by an ancient alien race. Gary Seven was in Lightfleet, and while we never meet him, this is a detailed portrayal of the organization that trained and sent him.

356	* Recommended by @/RoseAndHeather
357	* ''Status'': Complete
358	* Pairing: Kirk/Spock
359	* ''Synopsis'': ''Film/TheKingsSpeech'', Star Trek-style. In a world where the Vulcan Federation annexed the outnumbered and outgunned Earth to rescue the planet from its war with the Klingons, Spock is King George VI, Kirk is the Queen Mother, Saavik is Princess Elizabeth, Dr [=McCoy=] is Lionel Logue, Sybok is Edward VIII, Ty'Lena is Wallis Simpson, T'Pau is the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Sarek is King George V. The story echoes the film - and the history it was based on - without being a slavish copy.
