Summary
Jim Kirk is a small-town smartass from Iowa trying to find some purpose in life by roadtripping across America. Along the way he picks up a soft-spoken boy from Boston with a complicated relationship with his parents- not to mention a talent with a chessboard- and a good ol’ country doctor from Georgia, still bitter about losing the custody battle.
They bump into some others along the way. The beautiful singing voice in the motel room next to theirs belongs to an adventurous hitchhiker with several languages under her belt. The night shift mechanic who tows the remains of Jim’s first car comes along for the ride. His roommate would rather put his skills to the test driving cross-country than delivering pizzas. And the Russian whiz kid they pick up in Colorado is the only one who can read the goddamn maps.

Summary
Big Daddy AU

Summary
"Just before he makes it to the door, Spock realizes that if he is about to throw Vulcan propriety to the wind and embrace his humanity, then he had better do it properly."
Having rejected his admission to the VSA, Spock finds himself with very few options. Still angry at his father and Vulcan, Spock decides to join Starfleet and honor his human heritage. There’s only one problem— the Vulcan High Council has banned Vulcans from joining Starfleet, claiming that the organization is abhorrently militaristic. So Spock decides to defy the odds and find a way to enlist. But the road to a starship is full of many pitfalls, and at every turn Spock risks someone realizing his Vulcan heritage and facing a court martial. To Spock, though, it’s all worth it; especially after he meets a bright young cadet who can take Spock to the stars with only a glance.

Summary
Someone, something, in the universe is bored. And don't the most interesting things happen when you're bored?
-
"Jim wishes he could do something about the eyes of respective disappointment and superiority that melt into his back, watching him walk away.
Jim wishes that he didn’t run away from that fucking town square, and that he died with his aunt in the mud in the last place he felt any happiness.
He wishes that his mother never fell for his stupid human father, who’s legacy he can’t seem to match up to."
~
Cue a reimagining of Jim Kirk, Spock, Vulcans, and the events of the first movie. Lot's of pining, dumbassery, and angst (with a happy ending of course).

Summary
The Enterprise has a crew unlike any other. They are the best and brightest that Starfleet has to offer, the vast majority of them are painfully young, and they are largely untried. They are led by the most unpredictable and explosive duo that has ever graced Starfleet Command.
Alpha and Beta Quadrants are reeling under the after-effects of Nero's second rampage. The Klingon Empire's fleet has been gutted. The Romulans are ominously silent. The shattered remnants of the Vulcans are desperately trying to save their culture and their people.
All eyes are on the Enterprise, the boatload of children who succeeded where an entire armada failed. Depending on who you talk to, they are heroes, villains, or ignorant, blindingly lucky upstarts. After their rather explosive beginning, how will the Enterprise and her command crew fare?
