16 | [[http://community.livejournal.com/st_xi_kink/379.html Star Trek XI Kink Meme]] by various authors, very NSFW |
17 | * Recommended by Ayries |
18 | * ''Pairing'': Various (Slash, Het, Femslash) |
19 | * A kink meme for ''Star Trek XI''. Not only has this somehow achieved upwards of five thousand comments in under two weeks, but it somehow has managed to have a very good excellent-to-poor fic ratio. Some of these authors are just amazing. |
20 | * It's currently on part fourteen and growing every day, and the excellent-to-poor ratio is, if not the same, better. |
21 | ** The mod for the kinkmeme has apparently been overpowered by RL, so that one has ended. However, some lovely people have started up a new one [[http://community.livejournal.com/st_xi_kink_meme/ here.]] |
22 | * There is also a massive [[http://kirktastic.livejournal.com/18356.html RP]] that started on the kinkmeme, but has developed into glorious insanity. The basic premise is: characters from pretty much every ST universe imaginable (and a couple from completely different ones) start appearing on the Enterprise. There is angst, crack, and lots of gay sex. This troper highly recommends stalking these posts, especially the plotlines for [[http://haroldlee.livejournal.com/5122.html#cutid1 Harold]] (yeah, you read that right) and [[http://allmhadadh.livejournal.com/6333.html#cutid2 Cadet!Scott.]] |

28 | * ''Comments'': Atomicskull has been nicknamed Website/LiveJournal's "Resident Queen of [=AUs=]" for a very good reason - she writes ''bloody fantastic'' ones, including but not limited to: a [[http://atomicskull.livejournal.com/8334.html fashionmag!au]] that is pure awesome, a [[http://atomicskull.livejournal.com/11921.html highschool!au]] that validates every story good or bad ever written in that genre and became this troper's favorite fic in the history of everything practically overnight, a [[http://atomicskull.livejournal.com/14193.html surfer!au]] that will melt your heart, a [[http://atomicskull.livejournal.com/12374.html political!au]] that is just fabulous and a zombie!AU that is reportedly incredible but which this troper has not read for the sole reason that she can't stand zombies. Her partner in crime, Felonazcorp, wrote a lovely [[http://felonazcorp.livejournal.com/tag/ballet!enterprise ballet!AU]] that anyone who enjoys dance movies should go read approximately yesterdayish, and together they created [[http://atomicskull.livejournal.com/12673.html some sort of weirdly awesome mashup]] of an AU of Atomicskull's HighSchoolAU fic ([=McCoy=]) and Felonazcorp's ballet!AU (just about everybody else) that practically resulted in a proposal of marriage from this particular reader and an absolute Olympic-size pool of squee from everyone else. |
29 | ** Unfortunately, Felonazcorp's livejournal has been purged. Does anyone know if the ballet!au fic is still floating around the internet somewhere else? |

34 | * Recommended by @/AntigoneRogers |
35 | * ''Pairing'': Various (Slash, Het, anything) |
36 | * Fangirl heaven. Most subscribed ''Star Trek XI'' community on Fanfiction.net. Stories involve whumping Jim Kirk in every single way possible, with every pairing possible, in every setting possible. It takes some time to weed through the ever growing archive of stories, but there are some good ones in there that have real emotional appeal instead of just aimless character whumping. |

39 | * Recommended by LadyOfProcrastination |
40 | * Although this author has written a lot of great fanfiction, her ''Tales of a Security Chief'' series, starring Security Chief Sam Giotto, a 50-something on a ship filled with 20-somethings, is the best. Starting with [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5891710/1/Rule_Three Rule Three]], it includes [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5900876/1/Tales_of_a_Security_Chief Tales of a Security Chief]], [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6094961/1/Tales_of_a_Security_Chief_Vol_II Tales of a Security Chief, Vol. II]], and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6531441/1/Tales_of_a_Security_Chief_Vol_III Tales of a Security Chief, Vol. III]], which are made up of one-shots that tell an overall story but can also usually stand alone, as well as several spinoffs and stand-alone fics. |
41 | * ''Comments'': Besides the excellent quality of the writing, what stands out most is the [=OCs=], especially the main character Sam Giotto. Rather than overshadowing the canon characters, he fills a niche left open in canon, and fills it very well, to the point that you will wonder where he is when you re-watch the movie or show. All characters, both existing characters and [=OCs=], are well-crafted and portrayed extremely realistically: no risk of Mary Sues here. Although the tone is frequently humorous, the series and its spinoffs span the gamut of genres and emotions. The writing is of superior quality and generally error-free. Highly recommended for fans of the new movie and TOS alike. |

84 | * ''Status'': Complete |
85 | * ''Summary'': "How many times can you patch up something before you realize that it's too fucking broken to fix, Bones?" When a training simulation uncovers something that Cadet Jim Kirk was never meant to remember, it breaks him. Leonard [=McCoy=] can't sit by and watch Jim crumble. When asked what he's willing to do to get the old Jim back, Leonard has only one answer. "Anything." |
86 | * ''Comments'': This is all but slash, and yet it was written so wonderfully that it honestly could go either way, which is why it's getting listed under the Gen section. Practicalities aside: mijan has just gotten better and better, and this 'verse is her crown jewel - a wonderful examination of PTSD and the price of survival. Also includes a magnificent OC, Janice Toland, on whom this troper has a crush approximately the size of the universe. |
87 | ** I also quite adore this fic. Honestly, this story is a wonderful examination of Jim and Leonard's friendship as the two of them go through a horrific time together. As well, it has a prequel and a sequel, both of which can be found [[http://mijan.livejournal.com/ here]]. |

Ambassador Spock realizes that the Hellguard Incident may be repeating itself in this timeline, and the ''Enterprise'' crew are assigned a covert mission: disguise themselves as Romulans and investigate.

This Kirk, or Tiberius as he's known to Nero and the other Romulans, is just as hardheaded and brave as the Jim Kirk we already know, and is working to live up to an entirely different father's legacy. Nero is simultaneously tragic, sympathetic, and frightening. |

124 | * ''Summary'': A series of fics about the adventures of the Enterprise crew from the perspective of both major and minor characters. From their weekly movie night tradition, to Chekov's melodramic daydreams, to Sulu's unofficial job as the ship's bookie, this series covers various adventures from the daily lives of a crew who more of less become one big happy family (even when they're trying to kill each other). |
125 | * ''Comments'': The series is in progress, and the stories are definitely worth reading. The characterization is very well done and humorous. There are relationships present in the stories, but as they are not the focus, I'd consider the series to be general fanfiction. |

251 | * ''Comments'': For the first time in my half-a-decade-long fic-reading career, I am stunned. Shattered. Heartbroken. Exhilarated. Moved beyond words. This... is indescribable. Really, truly, beyond-imagining indescribable. |
252 | ** YMMV on this one, as Kirk is a very large MartyStu, albeit a well-written one. |
253 | ** I read this one some time ago, and was similarly blown away. This is truly brilliant - excellent plotting, spot-on characterizations, great humor, and the best diction and vocabulary I have ever seen. Kirk's aforementioned MartyStu traits do come with a plausible explanation, and he ends up needing most of them - they aren't there for show. This is seriously the best fanfiction I have ever read, and possibly the best fiction of any kind. |

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.

357 | * ''Comments'': An incredible AU, where the gang are EPAS in DarkerAndEdgier AU where the galaxy is being ripped from the inside out via Nero. This is not a happy fic, but the characters are incredibly believable, well-rounded, and it's an ensemble story with complicated and nuanced friendship rather than being a pure slash story. |
358 | ** Seconded so hard. This fic redefines epic - it may be only slightly shorter than ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' - and it makes good use of its length, broken up as it is into various episodes of conflict, all of which are edge-of-your-seat thrilling and generally feature the amazing, genius characters we know and love dealing with intense crap by being amazing geniuses. It is tense, beautifully characterised, and has a magnificent arc; the reading equivalent of watching an entire season of a particularly excellent show. I cannot recommend it enough. |

Their love is so obviously based on friendship, so truly real and deep in the best sense of the word, it takes my breath away. From Bones and Jim helping move each other into college to nights with stolen beer on the neighborhood baseball diamond, from Jim's beat-up yellow Chucks (a staple of Atomicskull's writing) to Bones' leather pants, this is a journey of soulmates, of two halves of a whole. Best summed up in one exchange from the fic: |

375 | * ''Synopsis'': First Officer Spock comments on life aboard the Enterprise and his service under Captain James T. Kirk. |
376 | * ''Comments'': Pure epic. Not only is it one of the most natural-feeling slow-moving romances you will likely ever read (Anon_j_anon is a master of 'show don't tell', and with every mission that passes you can just feel how Kirk and Spock's relationship grows from awkward hostility to respectful friendship to genuine love) it is also just plain a great post-Star Trek 2009 'what happens after?' fic. Although Kirk and Spock are the focus, the whole cast gets involved, and side-plots such as Kirk's training of Uhura and Sulu to eventually become captains themselves can be just as interesting as the main storyline. It also plays with the Reboot fanfiction trope of applying TOS episodes to a reboot universe but always puts a different spin on the scenario so they always end up very different. Anon_j_anon is also an extremely intelligent person, with knowledge of logic, mathematics, physics, and linguistics that give the fic a really learned, interesting feel, and go a long way to contribute to an amazing Spock voice. (The references are usually explained in the Annotations, of course.) Finally, it is extremely long - 262 chapters and over 400k words. All of this contributes to an extremely emotional, realistic, and engrossing fic. |
377 | ** Seconded. This fic is dauntingly long, but the payoff is so worth it. It has it all: science, language, and beautiful characterizations. It gives a richly textured world told from all directions. Amazing Spock voice. This fic is the best of the best. -@/{{onesmallpigeon}} |
378 | *** Third this. It's right next to Home in its awesomeness. It is intellectually stimulating while loving and dramatic---the characterization is so spot on it might as well be canon.

402 | * ''Comments'': This fic is right up there with Home in terms of characterization and great storytelling. Its an emotional rollercoaster, especially in regards to Jim's past, and not exactly for the faint of heart. But when you've got the dark machinations of Section 31 at work, would you have expected any different? There are currently 53 chapters up and they aren't short. Its mostly Jim-centric, but it also focuses on Jim's distant mother, Winona, as well as Bones and even Spock's extended family. I highly recommend this to readers with a mature taste. Not because of the sex and violence, but for mature themes that tend to border on the philosophical. A riveting read. |

492 | * ''Summary'': In this AU, Nero captures Winona Kirk and her infant son Jim shortly after destroying the Kelvin. In his grief-induced insanity, Nero decides the universe owes him a family and keeps Winona and Jim as a surrogate wife and son. |
493 | * ''Comments'': A dark and psychological fic about the Stockholm Syndrome slowly developing between Winona and the man who killed her husband, Nero. The author wisely puts the creepiness of this relationship front and center and the story never descends into fluffy romance. Nero's characterization is perhaps the most remarkable: he's completely delusional along with being homicidal, but he's so damaged and passionate that the reader can't help but comprehend his appeal. |

507 | * ''Summary'': Spock-centric action/romance novel within Reboot-canon. Slow-building Pike/Spock, progressing to slow-building Kirk/Spock as main pairing. From first love to the love of his life and everything in between. Ad astra per aspera |
508 | * ''Comments'': One of the best fics I have ever read. Definitely, one for Spock lovers if you don't mind slash. Still a WIP (as of this post), but it is an epic story. It starts before the movie and continues on after. |
509 | ** Fic is now complete and has several side stories: ‘’[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14582370 Another Story]]’’, which gives us the highlights of the story from Kirk’s POV and fills in a few missing scenes; ‘’[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/10935858 Meditations at Dawn: Pike]]'' -- exactly what it says on the tin -- and ‘’[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/306907 Chasing the Sunrise]]’’ detailing Spock’s teenage years on Vulcan. Don’t Stop Believing is long, but well paced, with plenty of plot and action to compliment the romance. Kianspo uses the show-don’t-tell method to depict Kirk as a man of intelligence, initiative and integrity i.e. someone you can actually see captaining a starship and winning Spock’s trust and respect. He’s still very much nu!Kirk though! The alien life the Enterprise discovers is frequently (always) dangerous, but more out of fear and ignorance than base meanness. Both Kirk and Spock approach them with the goal of mutual understanding rather than violence or avoidance, which is refreshing and a nice carry over from TOS that isn’t often present in AOS fanfic. |

746 | * Recommended by: Krysstinia |
747 | * Status: Complete, first in a long series |
748 | * Fandoms: Crossover with ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', minor crossovers with ''NCIS'' and ''Series/StargateSG1'' and ''Series/StargateAtlantis''. |
749 | * Synopsis: From the author: Two maverick captains. One impossible mission. The beginning of an epic partnership |
750 | * Comments: This is the first in a long series. The first story takes place after the 2009 movie. The Winchesters are put into the Star Trek Universe as the Captain and First Officer of the USS Impala. The interactions between the Enterprise crew and the Impala's are throughly entertaining. Both crews find trouble like nobody's business and have fun while saving the universe. Canon pairings that are barely mentioned. |
