caramelfuzz Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Hello all. I have recently been pulled into the horribly wonderful world of Star Trek: The Original Series by my friend and while I both hate and love that I hate it, I'm in love with Spock. Like despite the series being so hilariously ridiculous that it hurts me physically, I adore Spock with all of my being. Here's a short part 1 to a fic I'm working on instead of writing my 8-page paper that's due tomorrow! It's set immediately following an episode called "The Galileo Seven" which is basically just Spock leading a team while they're stranded on a planet with hostile natives, the crew members are all butts to Spock and I wanted to destroy them, two of them die and one dumb butt insists on burying the bodies, they get ambushed by the natives while they're burying them, Spock gets hit with a rock, and then they almost die orbiting the planet before they're beamed onto the Enterprise. That was like the worst summary, but y'all can google it if you want a better one lol. - “Captain, Transporter Room just beamed up five persons, alive and well.” Kirk smiled to himself, he knew Spock and the others would be able to figure something out to get them off that godforsaken planet. He raced to the Transporter Room, eager to see his companions but was shocked to see that Uhura’s report of the status of his team may have overlooked a very important someone. While everyone looked a little worse for the wear, Spock looked awful. He was flushed green and coughing violently into his elbow. He straightened when he saw his captain approach, clearly favoring his left leg. McCoy pulled Kirk aside before he could get to the man, informing him of what had transpired down on Taurus II. “There were a few problem children on this mission, captain. Only one of them made it out alive and his insistence upon burying his friends is what got Spock injured and nearly left us stranded. They ambushed us while we were burying the bodies, but I guess something he said about Spock’s lack of humanity got to him because he allowed it, even though I know he knew that we’d likely be attacked. I think he’s caught some sort of bug in addition to some pretty nasty bruises and maybe even a fracture on that ankle. He’s been through a lot and the crew’s lousy attitudes didn’t help any… I have to admit I took part in that myself before I realized the toll it was taking on him.” “Heh…hihh… Hih-ISSshh! HehERSchh!” Bones’s head whipped around at the sound of the stuffy, harsh sneezes, trying to find the source while blindly searching for his tricorder before remembering he’d lost it. What he saw was Spock hunched over with his face buried in his elbow. “Uh oh.” Kirk mumbled under his breath, and McCoy nodded his agreement. A sick Vulcan was not something either of them had ever dealt with, but it seemed their darling first officer would be the first. - I'm gonna try to finish my paper soon and then work on this without feeling guilty about it!
Shamaël Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Okay... Please let me reconnect my brain cells. ... ... ... YOU WROTE SOME STAR TREK, AND IT'S SPOCK, AND OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! First, your summary for "The Galileo 7" is perfect, especially the part when you say you wanted to destroy all of those morons who dared to criticize Spock. Then I love this beginning, and I like the fact that McCoy admits immediately he's been quite harsh with Spock. (I don't like this episode for the only reason that those two are my favorite characters, and I hate when they fight.) I know you've got a real life and I promise I'll do my best not to harss you and beg you to continue that fic. 20 minutes ago, caramelfuzz said: A sick Vulcan was not something either of them had ever dealt with, but it seemed their darling first officer would be the first. ... And I can't wait to see that happening! Star Trek's been my obsession for two years and a half, and it seems that I cant' move on to anything else. Too bad, isn't'it? Anyway, I LOVE Spock with all my heart and I love when he's miserable (contradiction, yeah I know) and I can't thank you enough for starting a fic about him.
caramelfuzz Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 @Aliena H. Thank you so much for your lovely comments!!! I've read your fics on here and absolutely loved them so I'm flattered you're excited for more!! Here's another short part. I would like to get this done soon because the new semester will be beginning in about a week (I'll be taking organic chemistry and other hard classes so I'll have literally no time for anything rip @ me.), but who knows what will happen with my motivation during that time lol. - “At least he’s only half Vulcan. Maybe his human side will see reason and not suppress whatever crap he’s got right now.” Kirk ventured, “Dammit Jim this is Spock we’re talking about. He’s the king of suppression!” The two had retreated to med bay and were attempting to come up with a plan of attack between the examination of each crewmember that had been in the crash. Spock was last in line in the waiting area, probably hoping to be overlooked. By the time it was Spock’s turn to be examined, the only plan they had was to ease into the conversation about Spock’s illness carefully and non-confrontationally so as not to spook the half-Vulcan into putting his shields up. Spock walked into the room as normally as he could, though it was clear he was in pain from the subtle twitch of his eyebrows with every step he took. “Spock, it’s just us, you don’t have to pretend to be fine anymore.” Jim tried to sound cheerful yet stern, knowing that Spock responded better to orders than he did concern. Spock, though clearly reluctant to show weakness, leaned more heavily on his good leg, thankful he didn’t have to walk any further. “Dammit, Spock, sit down already. I won’t let you aggravate that ankle any more than you already have!” McCoy hoped he sounded like his usual self when he was berating Spock, because he felt it was obvious that his heart wasn’t in it because of his concern for Spock. Spock sat down on the bed, watching with apprehension as McCoy prepared to do a full-body scan with the tricorder, “If you’ll excuse me, doctor, I do believe that a full body scan is hardly necessary considering we already know the root of the problem at the m-hh-moment, which is my ankle.” Though logical as ever, Spock’s hitch in his statement didn’t go unnoticed, “It’s standard procedure, Spock, now hold still so I can scan you, dammit.” “Heh…hihh… Hih-XKSH!” Spock jerked forward, fighting to contain the strength of the sneeze and obviously failing as a strangled half-sneeze barreled out of him. To his surprise, neither the captain nor the chief medical officer commented on his outburst, and he sniffled weakly into his wrist, perplexed at their silence while McCoy scanned him with the tricorder. “Well, some sort of virus we were exposed to on Taurus II seems to have given you a bit of a cold now hasn’t it, Spock?” “Sdf. Dond’t be ridiculous, doctor. I-hh- d-dod’t ghhet sick with h-hh-huband viruses.” Aware of how his voice contradicted the denial, he attempted to sniffle in hopes of clearing some of the congestion from his voice, but it didn’t do much. Jim cut in, injecting a little more concern into his statement, “I think what Bones is trying to say is we think you should take it easy for a few days, Spock.” “Illogical, captaind. I’mb dnot sick, so there is no reason for be to ‘take it easy’ as you so eloquedtly put it. There seebs to be sombe type of substadce that is triggerig ad allergic respodse.” “You’ve dealt with allergy attacks before, dammit! It says right here on the tricorder that your temperature is elevated which either means you’ve got an infection or you’re sick, plus you’re congested, which isn’t usual for your allergy attacks. By the way, blow your damn nose, hobgoblin, we can barely understand you.” Spock took the proffered handkerchief and softly blew his nose, said appendage emerging just a few shades greener than before. “As I said before, doctor, your logic is flawed. I cannot have a ‘bit of a cold’ because I cannot contract human illnesses.” “Then this isn’t an illness humans can catch. I hate to break it to you, but you’re sick. It’s my recommendation as the chief medical officer that you remain here in sickbay for observation until we figure out how this illness will affect you.” “W-hh-with all due respect, doctor, I-hh! Hih-ISShh! HehRSchh!” After a slightly more forceful blow than before, Spock straightened and continued, “With all due respect, doctor, I do not wish to remain here. If it is alright with you, captain, I believe I will shower in an attempt to rid my body of whatever irritating substance has triggered this response.” McCoy looked incredulously at Kirk, waiting for him to back him up, but was shocked to see a pensive look on his face, as though he were actually considering- “I think that’s fine, Spock. After Dr. McCoy has finished your exam and treated your ankle, you are free to return to your quarters and do as you wish.” “Thank you, captain.” After McCoy’s exam had concluded and he’d yelled at Spock for all the “stupid” things he did on the planet to get himself so banged up, Spock limped towards his quarters. Kirk turned to leave, but was stopped by a hand gripping his arm. “Why did you let him go, Jim? You know as well as I do that he’s sick. You saw the tricorder!” Kirk looked at him, somewhat guiltily, “He made a good argument, Bones. Besides, I kind of want to see how it goes with Spock being sick. I bet he’ll be cute as hell.” McCoy frowned, then rolled his eyes. “Now is no time for your little games, Jim. This is a virus I’ve never encountered before, and I would have liked to have been able to monitor Spock for any potential dangers it could pose.” - Ack did I just make this Spirk? Oh well XD Hope y'all like!
Shamaël Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Thank you for the compliment and for that new part!

No, of course not. But they are masters at diversion. Spock sneezing is always the best! Thank you!!! Edited January 27, 2019 by Aliena H.
Jelloicious Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Augh! Now I have to go watch that episode again!! (I just saw the restored shuttle craft at NASA a couple of weeks ago, so I guess it's super appropriate!) Loving this!!

This week has been a bit busier than I expected, but hopefully I can work on it a little bit before I have to go back to school.

(Not that I can blame him, like, at all.) Wow, this is great so far! I'd forgotten how much I love TOS and these three goobers. And Spock's sneezes and denial are hella cute. I'm super excited to read more!

I'm super excited to read more! I'm so glad you like it!!! I really don't know where I want to go with this, but I'll hopefully continue to work on it even though the semester has started. Here's the next part! (I completely forgot to post it the other day oops) - Spock entered his quarters and breathed a - completely logical - sigh of relief. It had been a rough mission by anyone’s standards, even his own impossibly high ones, and all he wanted to do was rest. He glanced at the clock on the wall, he had a few hours until he was due on the bridge next so he figured the logical thing to do was rest until it was time to go to work. - He awoke to a knock on his door approximately 34.68 minutes after he'd fallen asleep. He attempted to tell whoever was entering to come in, but all that came out of his mouth was a croak. He cleared his throat and tried again. “Ahem-computer, lights to 45%. Please combe ind,” He called, perplexed at the state of his voice. How had his illness-or whatever it was-grown worse instead of better? Hadn’t he been told in the past that sleeping was good for an illness? The door slid open to reveal the captain, grinning from ear to ear. “What is it you require, captaind?” Spock attempted to sniffle discreetly, but only managed to create an undignified squeak when he tried to bring air in through his nasal passages. That wouldn’t do, but he didn’t want to risk blowing his nose in front of the captain as that might reveal that the “temporary discomfort” he’d experienced in med bay had in fact persisted. “I don’t require anything, Spock. I just thought we could play chess or something, maybe talk about your human act of desperation in that ship,” He added teasingly, grinning from ear to ear. “It’s quite logical, captaind. I exabinded the problemb fromb all angles, and it was plaindly hopeless.” Spock paused, swallowing his pride and sniffling hard enough to actually clear his voice of most of the congestion that marred his speech, “Sdff. Logic informed me that under the circumstances, the only possible action would have to be one of desperation. Logical decision, logically arrived at.” Kirk chuckled, “I see. You mean you reasoned that it was time for an emotional outburst.” “Well, I wouldn’t put it in exactly those terms, Captain, but those are essentially the facts.” “You’re not going to admit that for the first time in your life, you committed a purely human, emotional act?” “N-nohh-no, sir.” “Mr. Spock, you’re a stubborn man.” Kirk said laughingly, “Yes, s-hh-sir.” “In more ways than one. If you have to sneeze, just sneeze. I’m not here to judge you.” “Heh..hgnxt! Heh…hihh… Hih-ISSshh!” Kirk tried not to let the surge of heat he felt at those sneezes show in his face, fighting to keep his voice level, “There we go, bless you, Spock. Are you sure you’re feeling alright? Bones seems convinced that you’ve got some sort of Vulcan space cold.” “I assure you I feel alright, captaind.” “Perfect! Then I assume you’re up for a game of chess, right?” “Of course,” A few moves into their game,however, it became clear that Spock was not playing at his best. He made many illogical errors throughout the game, including mistakes that a rookie would make. Kirk refrained from saying anything, but frowned more and more deeply every time the man before him suppressed another sneeze or cough. He was clearly getting worse, and as his captain he shouldn’t allow this to go on, but as his friend he wanted to avoid embarrassing Spock, no matter how much Spock insisted that Vulcans didn’t feel such human emotions as embarrassment, he knew that Spock would feel something if he were to call him out on his illness. Even further still, Kirk found himself enjoying the bits of vulnerability that Spock was allowing him to see. Lately they’d grown closer, and Kirk had, embarrassingly enough, caught feelings for his pointy-eared first officer. It was quite painful to love someone you knew was largely incapable of returning the sentiment. Even if Spock did feel whatever weird Vulcan equivalent to love for Jim, how would they ever express it to one another? A captain ogling his first officer just wouldn’t do aboard the Enterprise, and from what he’d heard about Vulcan mating, it could get very intense very quickly between the two of them, but with Spock fighting an alien illness Kirk couldn’t catch? He’d be hard pressed to stay away. If only he could tell Spock how he felt without things becoming awkward after Spock’s inevitable rejection of his captain’s feelings. - Oops what is a plot XD I may end up changing where I want this to go, because right now I feel like it makes no sense lol.If any of y'all has any suggestions or something you might like to see I'd totally be open to adding that, because my brain is currently fried from the first few days of classes. Also, some of that dialogue is directly from that episode, with added congestion and hitches because I'm a ho. Edited February 2, 2019 by caramelfuzz
Shamaël Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) I really like the fact that you slightly changed the dialogue between Kirk and Spock: it's much better this way!!!
