I love in this gif how Kirk is all like “Come here, mister. You’re getting in the water!”
and Spock half-heartedly fights him: “Negative, Jim. I am functional as I am - Jim! This is unnecessary, Vulcans do not -”
*words muffled by the giant splash that the enthusiastic Space Husband creates*

The Reunion
Old married Spirk - reboot style. Badass Jim Prime says FU to the nexus and fights his way over to rebootverse where he finds Spock Prime. They get their happily ever after, after all.
(Jim ended up being quite short, but it was kind of cute so I kept it.)
So, I got tired of there not being photographic evidence of Old Married Spirk and did this photo manip.
Don’t blame me. Blame Star Trek Generations for not having this scene in the first place. :)
I am convinced there are not and never will be enough Spock Prime fics. I feel a particular lack of Spock Prime/Kirk Prime. I know, I know - Kirk has nothing to do with the reboot universe. But AOS desperatly needs Old Married Spirk in it. And I just really love Spock Prime.
Relearning You
Well, I know I haven’t been doing fanart as much but I couldn’t forget about the OMS Challenge! Sometimes (all the time, actually) you just need to celebrate Old Married Spirk. Spock and Kirk growing old together… it’s a beautiful thing.
So the story behind this drawing is set at the end of The Voyage Home era, just after Spock regains his memories. It’s a quiet profound moment where Jim finally has his beloved back but they’ve both been through so much and there’s happiness and sadness and the tenderness of being truly together after all this time apart. They just want to be close to one another, to make sense of all the new experiences and the old memories, all the little ways they’ve changed and stayed the same. I imagine some cuddling takes place. <3
So this comic (Star Trek 2 - 10 The Trial of James T. Kirk Part 1) deals with Jim’s trial in Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country and I thought it was pretty cute that Sarek comes to the rescue, to defend his son’s bff in front of the court.
At first I was really giddy, because WOW! You go Sarek! That’s a really beautiful character development here! Also the hint at Jimmy Jim being a bad influence is pretty hilarious and…it seems somewhat intimate how Sarek frames it. Because “Emotional Ties” *awwwww*.
But then I read the scene again and…
…what is this?
*inhuman screeching*
Ok…so apparently Spock considers himself and Jim being in a similar relationship as Sarek with Amanda…I know, I know Sarek said it’s something different, but Spock obviously doesn’t think so…
*heavy breathing*
Surak take the wheel!
MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN!
All stations to RED ALERT!
Ah, I remember seeing this post ages ago, and it always stuck with me! T’hy’la forever…
I vote that we rename Star Trek Into Darkness.
Star Trek: The Many Attempts Spock Made to Protect his T’hyla is a much more appropriate title. Allow me to illustrate:
1. Spock chooses to die in the Nibiru volcano rather than break the Prime Directive because he didn’t want Jim to get in trouble for rescuing him.
2. Not knowing that Jim lied about the Nibiru incident, Spock writes his own report with great emphasis on the fact that he alone is to responsible, so therefore Jim shouldn’t be punished.
3. He tries to convince Jim (more than once) not to use the torpedoes against Khan because he didn’t want to see Jim do something morally questionable and didn’t want Jim to be held responsible for starting galactic war with the Klingons.
4. On Qo’noS, when Jim runs out to rescue Uhura, Spock follows him. When Jim is downed by a Klingon, Spock immediately runs to grab Kirk and pull him out of the line of fire. He then stands over Kirk (and Uhura) with a phaser as Khan approaches.
5. Spock realizes how manipulative Khan is and tries to dissuade Jim from communicating/working with him, knowing Jim may be tricked into doing himself or the ship harm.
6. When Marcus reveals what a asshole he is, Spock figures out Jim’s plan to jump aboard the Vengeance with Khan. Spock disobeys Jim’s order for him to take the conn and follows Jim throughout a good portion of the ship, trying to persuade him to not risk himself in such a way.
7. Before the jump, Spock warns Jim about the debris field between the two ships and visibly hesitates when he’s ordered to pull the trigger that will open the door for the jump. During the jump, Spock is obviously worried when Kirk is struck by debris, despite his logical demeanor.
8. Spock goes so far as to contact Spock Prime in full view of the bridge to try to get Khan’s backstory and ascertain whether this puts Jim in danger. He is noticeably upset when Spock Prime reveals that Khan is more than capable of cold-hearted murder. Spock immediately begins to plan how to subdue/ eliminate Khan.
9. When Khan strikes Jim unconscious in front of the Enterprise crew (via screen), Spock steps forward in a rather illogical attempt to somehow get to Jim, despite them being ships apart.
10. When the Enterprise begins to plummet to Earth, Spock orders the crew to abandon ship, choosing to stay behind alone as the ‘acting captain’ despite knowing that Jim, the true captain, is back aboard the ship. This is Jim’s responsibility, but Spock takes it on himself.
11. In the warp core area, Spock immediately orders Scotty to open the hatch to free Jim, and taps on the glass when it remains closed, either an effort to get to Jim, or an attempt to alert Jim to his presence. Spock reveals a plethora of emotion during the last of Jim’s moments, seemingly horrified when Jim refers to his sacrifice as ‘only logical’. Tears are shed, hearts are broken, and the saddest fucking music plays.
12. When Jim dies, Spock descends into rage and goes after Khan. The scene pretty much explains itself; Spock only stops in his single-minded mission to kill Khan when it is revealed that doing so would destroy any chance of reviving Jim. He attempts to protect Jim even when he knows that Jim is dead.
Can I just mention how happy Spock looks on the bridge at the end? Like all his dreams are coming through and he’s fondly looking at Jim like “Use your good judgement. Not the bad judgement. Don’t get yourself killed again, for the sake of both our Katra.”
My edit.
This took ages to make, but this part of the song always makes me think of OMS, specifically Jim, and the fact that he does everything in his power to save the one he lost. The one he loves. I hope I have done justice to the love story that is The Search for Spock.

OMS CHALLENGE PIC!!!!
I’m so excited to finally share this with you guys! This is for the OMS challenge, which I’m super proud to be a part of because I love Old Married Spirk and there is never enough of it, in my opinion. So the picture is set in the TMP era, and it is meant to capture a time early on in Jim and Spock’s reunion, where they’ve decided that yes, they’re always going to be together. I mean, that much is obvious by the happy, lovestruck expression on Jim’s face. And Spock wearing plaid? Well, it’s an old shirt of Jim’s, but it’s also a nod to the fabulous @plaidshirtjimkirk who inspired this piece before I ever heard of the OMS challenge, and who I strongly urge you to visit for your OMS needs. Also, I just really liked the idea of Spock wearing a big shirt and *cough* nothing else. Above all, I wanted to create an atmosphere in this drawing of two people who are very much in love and comfortable with each other, yet there’s a shy gentleness there. They’re both a little in awe of the t’hy’la bond, I think.
This picture was a struggle for me to stick with sometimes because I suffered a mini artist’s-block, my laptop malfunctioned, and I started college again. Not having regular internet access also slowed me down. But I made it through and I can honestly say that this drawing might be my favorite!
Janice Rand (TOS), Amanda, Christopher Pike and Chekov (AOS) all deserve to be on this list. But if I have to pick who I miss the most, it’s these two.
Though I think Beyond handled Spock Prime’s death with love and respect, I was NOT ready for it. with Spock Prime having been separated from his own universe, I had hoped that at least he would have a few decades in the AOS-verse. And yeah, I’m a HUGE believer in Kirk Prime and so I find it hard to accept his death. I kind of just want him and Spock Prime to find each other.
The Primes. I love them.

the “bad guys” in hallmark movies end up always being the most respectful men ever.
because they will find out their girlfriend of 3 years (that they were about to propose to) went off to a random farm in minnesota, hours away from were the two of them built a life together, and she decided to just… stay there without even consulting him.
and then he decides to take a trip to make sure she’s okay, because this is generally alarming behavior, and then sees that she literally fell in love with her ex within one (1) week- and he wasn’t there, but you can TELL that they’ve made out a couple times.
and then she just strings him along for a few days, until fucking christmas eve, when she just breaks up with him and is like “i know we used to have the same values, but i’ve never loved you. mark makes me happier than you ever did. and you ONLY care about work, whereas i like christmas and fun, like a Good Person.”
and then, after finding out his entire relationship was a lie and he had his life turned upside down in a week and he got dumped on christmas, this guy’s just like “ok yeah that makes sense. i only wish you the best of happiness with mark. i hope you guys build a great life together in christmastreefarmville. thank you for everything.”

@teashoesandhair your wish is my command :)
Probably, Levi should be more upset.
Probably he is still in shock. Right? He looks out of his taxi window (it's not technically a taxi, just some guy named Corey who offered him a ride to the airport, because Uber doesn't operate in fucking Tinyville, Bumfuck Middle-Of-Nowhere, Utah) and tracks water droplets racing each other down the glass, because of course it's raining, and his bad knee is killing him.
Levi sniffs and rubs at his eyes and then pulls out his phone and books a ticket back to New York, wincing as four hundred and twenty-six dollars are deducted from his bank account.
And, like, he should definitely be more upset.
He just got broken up with. He was engaged, for God's sake. A four-year relationship… over. Just like that.
Corey says, "Ten minutes to the station."
I love how this turns the Hallmark trope on its ear. Tagging @boffin1710 to spread the Hallmark antidote...
