There were so many great stories last year! Here's a few of my picks:

"Your First Time Should Be Special" by helenish - http://helenish.livejournal.com/163914.html
K/S first time fic. The funniest thing I read all year.

"Homecoming" by beedlebarg - http://lamasart.livejournal.com/9650.html
K/S. Kirk wakes up from an away mission with no memory of the last 20 years. He comes home to Spock and their family and tries to rebuild his life. Brilliant. (As beedlebarg deleted her journal, the link leads you to a page of links with zip files. Click on "K/S only" and download!)

"The House of Amanda" by screamlet - http://screamlet.livejournal.com/17688.html
Great gen story from Amanda's pov; the struggles of raising a Vulcan family. Beautiful.

"The Girl's Alright" by StarTrekFanWriter - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6121270/1/
Spock/T'Pring, Spock/Uhura. I love T'Pring and think she's (mostly) horribly wronged in fandom. This writer shows us all the reasons T'Pring may have chosen to reject Spock without vilifying her.

"A Child of Two Worlds" by maxwrite (madeyemax). http://bloodywellwrite.dreamwidth.org/33657.html
Scotty/Uhura. A very sexy Scotty and a cool, fun, confident Uhura. And uh, Spock is kinda there too...don't want to give too much away. ;)

"Honorable Enemies" by zauzat - http://zauzat.livejournal.com/11067.html
Spock/McCoy. AU in which the Romulans are winning the war. Amazing writing & characterizations.

"The Opposite of Expediency" by ewinfic. http://ewinfic.livejournal.com/40154.html
Spock/McCoy. Spock has horrific scarring and goes to McCoy for treatment. There, he tells his story of abuse, and McCoy's heart goes out to him. Tender hurt/comfort.

"Abnormal Growth" by janice_lester. http://janice-lester.livejournal.com/66157.html
K/S/McCoy. Spock's penis is growing, and Kirk and McCoy are concerned. It's hilarious, then beautiful and sensitive and sharply-observed. The characterizations of Spock and McCoy are spectacular.

"Things That Never Happened: Blue" by nemo the everbeing. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2464440/1/Things_that_Never_Happened_I_Blue
Spock/McCoy. Post-apocalyptic AU with Spock and McCoy making their weary way through a destroyed Earth. Warning: there's pretty much no sex in this one. But it's tragically poetic.

Whatever a Moon Has Always Meant by hollycomb - http://hollycomb.livejournal.com/189522.html
Sulu/Chekov/Kirk. This story has everything: angst, suspected character death, characterizations that make you think in new ways about the characters you've come to love, and hot sex. Although everything hollycomb writes is wonderful, this was my favorite of the whole year.

Thank you so much for the rec!

Well thank you for the great read! That story really stayed with me - so many scenes were so vivid, like Spock's basic training, and T'Pring's family conference, and the way Amanda & T'Pring's relationship evolved, and the final scenes in the Vulcan Target (as it were!)...it was a really memorable story.

Very cool to read through that and see my own name come up! Thank you.
