Review:  
Bonding fics are a staple of the Kirk/Spock pairing and thus it is not surprising that most of them are extremely clichéd in the most negative sense of the word. There are, however, some great bonding fics and this is one of them.  

In “Unintended” there are no mawkish declarations of eternal devotion or a perfect sexual encounter preceding the formation of the bond. The link that forms between Kirk and Spock occurs unexpectedly (resulting from a combination of a casual meld and the feelings that unconsciously exist between them) and its eventual demise has serious consequences for Spock’s mental well being, something both of them have to deal with. Eventually, things are set to rights and a happy ending follows, accompanied by great sex (proving that not all clichés are necessarily bad).

There are two things that make me really enjoy this fic: the way the characters are portrayed and the writing style, which manages to convey the depth and impact of the mental connection without having to resort to purple prose. All in all, this is a great example of how a bonding fic should be done.

Unintended.

Daycare, The Final Frontier by Farfalla (G)

Bonus Rec!

Title: Daycare, The Final Fontier.
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series.
Pairing: Gen (though there’s a hint of Kirk/Spock).
Categories: AU, Fluff, Pre-Slash.
Length: Short.
Warnings: None.

Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: Cosmic Duckling.

Review:

This is a lovely AU where the members of the Enterprise crew (with the exception of Dr. McCoy and Nurse Chapel) are children, spending their days at the San Francisco Daycare. Jimmy Kirk has a new shuttlecraft and decides to share it with Spock, the kid no one wants to play with because of his green skin and pointed ears.

This fic is a delightful bit of fluff that manages to incorporate into the children’s world some of the clichés of many Kirk/Spock fics: a shuttle accident, getting "stranded" in a cave (though there’s no Pon Farr – they’re six!) and a friendship that is strong enough to overcome all obstacles.


If you enjoy  this story, you might also want to read the other fic in the Daycare-verse: Requiem for Mattel (tm).
