There’s one story from 2015 that I really want everyone to read.
And I mean everyone.
No matter if you’re in Star Trek or Star Trek RPF fandom or in any fandom at all. Because I think the story is that important. And I mean really important. This is not just fanfiction at its best, this is fiction, story telling, on a visceral, truth-in-my-bones level that grips me at my throat and changes how I see the world.
Please, please, please read this story.
And once you’re done, please take the time to show your appreciation for the hard work of the writer. Bookmark the story, recommend the story to others, and leave Kudos & comments galore!

Last but not least, I want to recommend not a single fanwork, but a fanartist.
wolfi-sama on Tumblr is one of the most gifted manip artists I’ve encountered since I joined online fandom in 2004. I absolutely adore her Star Trek and Star Trek RPF art. It’s not just technically excellent, she also has a unique way of looking at scenes and characters, very tongue-in-cheek, often challenging, definitely sexy, and always unusual.
