Summary
Spock closed his eyes and tried to fill his lungs. Everyone had died. And he could feel it. He could feel the death of two hundred Vulcans, screaming in the building behind him. The smell of death, of coppery blood, hung thickly in the air, and it felt heavy, and Spock couldn’t breathe.

Summary
AOS-style take on Conscience of the King. Twelve years after Tarsus IV and three months after dying to realign the warp core and save his ship, Jim Kirk seems to have a new lease on life: he's been resurrected, started pursuing a tentative new relationship with Spock, and has an entire five-year mission ahead of him. That is, until the attempted murder of an old friend forces him to divert the Enterprise away from her intended course and towards Planet Q. After a chance encounter on the planet's surface, new secrets about Jim's time on Tarsus IV come to light—secrets that threaten to destroy everyone he fought to protect, and the new life he's finally achieved. Some things you carry with you wherever you go.

Summary
Mob!boss Spock finally has a preliminary bond with Jim, but he still needs to convince Jim to be his forever--and to take his rightful place as Spock's right hand man. Meanwhile, threats arise from enemies old and new. Set in the 1930s, on a planet where Romulus, Vulcan, and Qo'noS are different countries.
A note on the non-con and underage tags: this refers to things that happened offscreen, in the past, and not between Jim/Spock, but rereading this again I think the tags are warranted! There is is also attempted non-con on screen.

Summary
"“Relax, Spock. You don’t need to be so formal when it’s just us. We’re not even on the fucking ship.” Damn it. He hoped Spock didn’t notice his momentary loss of control.
Spock only raised one eyebrow in his signature look of judgement/surprise before moving to parade rest and continuing."Or, 5 times Spock (and Bones) comforted Jim, and one time it was the other way around.

Summary
The first time James Tiberius Kirk dies, he is two minutes old.
It was at this moment the universe chose James. He was to live, and he was to live for them. When he takes his first breath for the second time, he shares it with the stars.
Every parent thinks their child is special. Some even argue it’s natural to believe they are destined for something greater, something larger than life. Winona’s son is a child genius. For her, it’s enough, so she stops paying attention. Jimmy often converses with the night sky, but she never bothers to listen closer. Whenever he wants rain, it rains, and whenever he wants the sun, it shines like a blinding torchlight. He describes his friends—always collective—as omnipotent and omniscient. Jimmy is strange, but he is loved.
Sometimes, he doesn’t feel loved.
Or, a look into the childhood of James, royal space god and the supplanter of stars.

Summary
“The revolution is successful. But survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives mean slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore, I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered, signed Kodos, Governor of Tarsus IV.” he said simply. Before the boys even had time to process what was happening, the sound of phaser fire filled the air, and they watched as Mr. and Mrs. Leighton turned to ashes, right in front of their eyes. Jim inhaled sharply, tears rushing to his eyes. He clapped a hand over his mouth, feeling numb.
Jim awoke rather slowly, real tears streaking his cheeks. He rolled over and found his bed empty. His heart panged for the comfort of his husband, but he was most likely awake in his own quarters, researching Tarsus IV, desperately trying to figure out what had happened to make Jim so upset at Karidian’s presence on the Enterprise. He considered calling Tom, but then he remembered, with despair, Tom was dead. He had been murdered, picked off by Karidian-- by Kodos. He sobbed aloud, burying his head in the pillow.
