Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
I do not know what this is. Just take it.
So this isn't for a pairing I ever, EVER, thought I would ship, but it was late last night (like 3am, hence my being off my head today) and I fell down some AO3 hole, and jesus this is so well written and amazing. YOU SHOULD READ IT.
Two parts. AOS AU where Kirk leaves Starfleet to be an architect and ends up falling in love with Spock Prime. I opened it for a giggle, and just woosh. Brilliance.
I JUST POSTED MY FIRST SPIRK FANFICTION IT'S TERRIBLE BUT OMG I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF IT TOOK ME MONTHS TO GET MY HANDS TO TYPE RIGHT!
HERE IT IS!!! IF ANYONE WANTS TO READ!!!!
Measure of Men (Series) by MonstrousRegiment
Star Trek (2009)/Incomplete/Works: 2 Words: 25,178 // One of my favorite crew fics. Because they’re loyal and defensive and a family and I love them.
I love listening to music to get inspired. This has manifested itself into playlists for the main seven in TOS and AOS. I don't have playlists for specific ships just because I have so many so all the songs for all my ships for a certain character are an amalgamation of angst and fluff!
This is mainly for AOS btw, and I've only included the non-shipping ones that are included in my timeline. Let's go!
Run Boy Run | Woodkid- Tarsus IV, Jim was chosen, he ran away and collapsed in the arms of a Starfleet officer
San Francisco | Scott McKenzie- Jim exploring Starfleet Academy in his first week there
Mambo No.5 | Lou Bega- Jim having fun 😉
Golden | Harry Styles- This is the most shippy this is going to get, but only because this is in every timeline for all of my ships. It's Jim and Bones friendship during the academy years, how they're the only people that truly understand each other. But it's also Bones developing a crush on Jimmy boy, this also contains an "I'll patch you up after a bar fight but you're going to get flirty scolding too scene"
I Love to Boogie | T Rex- Just Jim and Bones drunk off their tits dancing once exams are over
Honky Cat | Elton John- I just need Jim getting ready for the day to this song, it's a great montage song
Let Us Adore You | Steven Universe the Movie- This just makes me think of the Admirals loving Jim when the 5 year mission starts because he's living up to his father, finally
Space Oddity | David Bowie- I imagine that Ambassador Spock left Spock a load of Old Earth pop culture things he found, one of them is this song. So he and Jim listen on the observation deck with the gravity off
Escapism | Steven Universe- This is inspires a scene in a fanfiction I'm currently drafting, so no spoilers 😉
And now some non-shippy Jim vibes!
Sexyback | Justin Timberlake- Do you need an explanation?
I'm Too Sexy | Right Said Fred- See above comment (also the video I put in was by Putnik68)
Cut to the Chase | Rush- Jim training, maybe anti gravity training or with new tech
Love Like You | Steven Universe- Self-esteem issues with Leonard and Spock but they all think this about themselves and the others
Other Friends | Steven Universe Movie- Mirror!Kirk, maybe he finds some of his officers have joined the resistance?
Here Comes a Thought | Steven Universe- Anxiety and feelings ☹
7 Rings | Ariana Grande- Just imagine the main 7 being sassy to this
Candyman | Christina Aguilera- Jim being sexy yet again, maybe some dancing too
Seaside Rendezvous | Queen- This song is a bop but full of crack, they probably just sing this after too much wine, or fruit cocktails for Spock
Strangers | Taemin- Just undercover spy vibes
What do you think of my choices? Do you have any songs that scream Jim? I hope you enjoyed listening to this, I'll probably do Spock next because, trust me, Bones has many many songs in his playlist!
