I'm looking for fic recommendations featuring the following themes:

(1) After Vulcan is destroyed, Vulcans become coveted. Spock is particularly appealing because of his unusal heritage. I'm looking for stories that deal with underground markets, kidnapping, and other dark themes in the wake of a powerful species suddenly becoming endangered.

(2) Alternatively, I'm interested in stories where someone becomes obsessed with Spock and begins stalking him or harasses him in the workplace.

(3) I'm also interested in a slightly lighter variation on this theme where a new officer or visiting diplomat is fascinated by Spock and and starts to court him much to Spock's oblivousness or flustered confusion and Kirk's (or McCoy's) chagrin.

I love dark and complex stories, but am open to anything you've enjoyed reading that touches on one of these themes.

Many thanks!

This is probably not too helpful, but I read a fic ages ago that dealt with an underground child trafficking ring--they kidnapped Spock and had some kind of technology that de-aged him, because Vulcans were coveted. The fic wasn't finished, though. You could try searching for de-aged Spock.

ETA: It was called Pity the Children, I believe it was on ff.net.

I have a few links to slave!fics that if they're AOS usually deal with (1)

Mirrorverse but still has similar themes:

I might have more links but I'm slowly working my way through them and tagging them so these are all I've got at the moment.

For number (2):

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5347596/1/What-Friends-Are-For

This one is more to do with harassment because he's Vulcan and the guy is xenophobic rather than obsession but still a good read:

I can't seem to recall any at the moment that relate to (3) sadly :(

How We Operate (http://archiveofourown.org/works/5032381)by MissBAMF. It's not a slave fic, but, it does kind of meet your second requirement. Spock is assaulted because of his heritage on a planet, and the second part of it involves Spock in a domestically abusive relationship with a guy who becomes dangerously obsessed with him. WIP tho.

Also, that author has a fic that she has since taken down, but it's about Spock going to prison because of a conspiracy, and he's experimented on because of his unique heritage. THe fic isn't up anymore? But I've heard she's really nice about emailing the original fic to people who ask for it.

Sorry if you don't like those, just wanted to throw some recs out there that I personally found to be incredibly complex and dark.

That fic is really good but should come with a blinking warning sign with sirens on speakers.

I too am a fan of the tropes in question. :) will check out those other links. in the meantime, a couple more that sprang to mind that I don't think have been listed:

this one by yeaka, which is one-shot grocery store AU where bones behaves in a slightly stalkery (and hot) way towards young new employee spock:

and, someone just posted this delicious story on AO3 as an abandoned WIP (too bad) that includes spock posing as a sexy vulcan slave in order to infiltrate and take down an alien trafficking ring:

Thank you for the links! Be still, my heart, with that abandoned WIP. That was so right up my alley!
