"The Ship's Closet" has quite a few legit points about Spirk. Stuff like Vulcan's "kisses" are simply touching two fingers to each other and there's a rather prominent scene in (in the movies iirc) where Spock and Kirk are clasping hands (it makes sense in context). The meanings of t'hy'la. Also, the "back rub scene" and Amok Time are both incredibly slashy.mangaluva wrote:Been watching a lot of Star Trek TOS lately and wondering how I never watched it before. It's very charming, and distinctly ahead of its time in the handling of certain social issues. Definitely going to keep watching.
(Also I did not ship Pine!Kirk and Quinto!Spock but dear god Shatner!Kirk and Nimoy!Spock look more in love with each other than Wesley and Buttercup most of the time)

Considering ST isn't even my "current" fandom it's slightly disturbing how much I remember.
And now I need more Good Omens fusion fics and to complete watching through Strangers With Candy (blue and orange morality is key to that). Which is unrelated, but yeah.
