Star Trek 2009: Son of Fic Rec

butterflyBefore my most recent rewatch of the new movie, I watched the beginning of Wrath of Khan. After I came home from the movie, I watched the ending (and then immediately had to rewatch Search for Spock because I couldn't stop while Spock was dead, could I?).
In honor of that, have some TOS recs:
1. What the Heart Remembers by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
killabeez. It's about Spock recovering his memories in the lull at the end of movie IV and the man who is always at the heart of those memories. K/S.
2. Wilderness Were Paradise Enow bybelmanoir. Set post-"This Side of Paradise". Jim wonders if Spock is unhappy on the Enterprise. K/S.
3. Graven Image bysans_pertinence. Mirror-verse Kirk/Spock. You know you want it.
And now some more new Star Trek (2009) recs: SPOILERS
1. Taking the Slower Path (we'll get there in the end) byblack_eyedgirl. Kirk's first year of command and the slow path of becoming friends with Spock. Gen, preslash elements.
2. Past Sorrows, Present Joy bykagedtiger. Kirk wants to understand Spock better, so he enlists some mental help form Spock Prime. Still pretty gen.
3. Academic Discourse byseriousfic. Gaila nearly skips a class, definitely schools a teacher, and meets someone new.
4. A Formal Dance in the Bowling Alley byloneraven. Kirk gets to know his crew. Gen.
5. not in the stars but in ourselves bywintercreek. K/S/U. There's something wrong with Spock, and Uhura goes to Kirk to try to figure it out.
6. Stars Apart, Shine the Same bysineala. Kirk getting more from the mindmeld than intended and that leading to stuff with younger Spock is already a trope in this fandom. And I love it. I could read stories like this all day.
7. Potential, In Retrospect byhitlikehammers. Kirk, not knowing that Spock Prime already talked Spock into staying on the Enterprise, gives it a try himself.
8. Our Emotional History is in the Kitchen byraphaela667. Kirk takes Spock home to meet his mom. K/S.
9. When They Have to Take You In byvampychick. Sequel to "Earth Kids are Assholes". Set after the final battle, but before Spock Prime's conversation with Spock.
10. The Unveiled Secret bylaurajv. Ambassador Sarek and Ambassador Spock have a conversation.
11. Murphy's Law of Jim Kirk Diplomacy by_seven_crows. Even on diplomatic missions, Kirk manages to get his ass kicked (seriously, he got beat up how many times in the movie? Hee.).
12. Break Down and Tell bybetweenthebliss. Kirk has extra memories from Spock Prime and tries to avoid Spock by hiding in work. K/S.
On a side note, I've rewatched the ending of Glee about three times. Cute. The show's pace feels a bit like it's on speed, though. Maybe that'll improve in the actual season.
Additional note, I really don't understand the hate for the Bones finale. I thought it was clever, sweet, and good drama. I'm genuinely baffled at the hate.
ETA: I just found the perfect Sisko song. Dude. Now I just need to borrow my dad's DS9 dvds...

There is this utterly kick-ass version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" that sounds just the way he behaves. This version manages to make the song sexy.
