If you like Vincent angst,, may I present my Vincent POV fic?

Focuses on how his time in war zones impacted him, with undiagnosed PTSD, food issues and general angst.

Also he’s in love with Thomas🙏

"He didn’t feel like he fit in with the polished marble buildings, and despite not having access to a mirror, he could guess that his dirty clothes, bloodstained shoes and unwashed hair didn’t quite seem fitting of a cardinal."

or

Vincent arrives at the Vatican sleep deprived, hungry, and with a feeling of wrongness. He doesn't realise how used he has become to war.

words of affirmation i repeat on the daily

book benitez, staring into nothing while getting elected pope: what the fuck is wrong with all of these people. i specifically requested all my votes go to lomelli how did this happen. oh god i have to think of a name now fuck fuck fuck

movie benitez, staring into nothing while getting elected pope: i shouldve just died from that car bomb in kabul

dio mio dio mio perché mi hai abbandonato

young vincent benitez and his dark times

Vincent gets fed up, and resorts to dire measures

"Did Christ, a carpenter's son, smell the wood of the cross and think of home?"

Yes, and Vincent hears a tourist speaking Pashto, and thinks of home-

and lights a candle to pray when the power goes out, and thinks of home-

and is served Kabuli Palau by a sister who thought he might appreciate a familiar meal, and thinks of home-

and he can never go there again. just FYI!!

Blessed ❤️

I like to think that every new member of the enterprise developes a crush on Spock. Like to the point where it's considered a phase of adjusting to life on the enterprise. The newest crewman comes into the rec room like "Guys! How awesome is our Science Officer? He's so smart and mysterious! His ears are so cool!" And everyone else just laughs and is all "Welcome to the Enterprise newbie!"

Kirk: It is not my fault that your father likes me better than he likes you!

Spock: Oh, don’t flatter yourself. My father likes everybody more than he likes me.

I'm writing that story where Spock has to struggle with a devastating and overwhelming crush on McCoy, while his childhood bullies are on the ship and it's so much fun. The characterisations I've come up with for the bullies kind of rule ngl and like not to brag but they make sense as bullies. Especially cos a feature of it is that McCoy doesn't clock the bullying so Spock is devastated. But like, they're interesting and friendly and more affable than Spock and all their bullying is very Vulcan so a human wouldn't notice it.

Like, one of them doesn't say the call and response for live long and prosper correctly which is super rude of him but what he says is also polite so the humans in the room don't clock it but Spock is just writhing in discomfort from the insult.

This is great and I think I should bully my characters more

And I got a great late reveal idea for one of them that's not a twist exactly but is a cool canon tie in that I'm really looking forward to. And it makes her mindless dislike of Spock make sense in the world, even tho it's obviously not reasonable. At least she's consistent lol

Spock's gonna have a terrible time in this story. McCoys already upset with him before the Vulcan bullies board.

I'm used to writing whump where it's physical injury, but emotional injury is a lot of fun. And I don't have to research healing times or allow for a character being a medical doctor! I can just keep piling the next thing on til he cracks!

By Any Other Name

The Omega Glory

"Sargon was enormously advanced, Captain. I shall... consider it."

Exchanging a glance.

ok I just received the Autobiography of Mr. Spock and holy fucking shit

the section about kirk fully made me throw the book down, walk away, and lay on the floor for about 5 minutes

we have obviously "I have tried on many occasions to write about Jim Kirk. This seems to me an increasingly impossible task. Jim Kirk lies at the very heart of this account; he is present on every page, the ink in which these words have been written...How do you write about someone you have so deeply loved?" Which is just the most romantic and beautiful thing I have read in my life.

we also have "He changed the rules so that people would live. Jim was very bad with rules. Sometimes that could be irritating. More often than not, it was exhilarating."

the one that made me bawl "That letter took a while to reach me, and I often think of it, in transit, containing the news that Jim was both alive and dead. That was the only time that I regretted my mission to Romulus, and I did regret it, bitterly. If only I had been present, somehow. Perhaps I might have saved his life, again (although he told me, once, that he would die alone). Was that not what we did, after all-save each other's life, again and and again? At the very least, I might have seen him, one last time. I have not been to see his grave. I believe I can permit myself one illusion in life." which just...holy FUCK

(you will see him again spock I swear 😭)

and the one that hit me like a brick, referring to the first time he met Jim, "I recall that Jim's face like up, with a smile like the sun. 'I think,' he said, 'that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.' He was not wrong."

these motherfuckers i need to be sedated like yesterday

Godspeed, Captain.
