Star Trek Fic Recs

While we wait for all the new fic to arrive post ‘into darkness’ how about a few recs from last time?

Below is a list that I think captures a lot of what one can expect from the Star Trek fandom. I have made it a point to be eclectic in my selections, and hopefully even those who've been in the fandom a while will find something new. Ratings are all over the place; gen and most of the various pairings are represented. I haven’t written out why they should be read because they are all wonderful and amazing and memorable and by the 5th story rec i would have deteriorated into !!! asdaskjfh! anyway. Read the warnings/headers carefully, but if you’re able, I hope all will be tried. (and remember, if you like, let the authors know! They shared their stories with us, please share your pleasure with them)

personally i dont think theres much funnier than speeding up star trek tos gifs in particular

[hellalogical]

“I still have people tell me today that when they were growing up they loved Star Trek because they saw an Asian character who was not a stereotype, who was, in many ways a hero, who was part of the leadership team. He didn’t talk with an accent, he was a great guy and that made them feel proud.” - George Takei
