Cupcake by mcstories (PG-13)

Hi there everyone! I'm bookaddict43 and I'm driving the Star Trek Reboot van this month and hope to give you a nice selection of fics to go along with.

Fandom: Star Trek Reboot
Pairing: Chekov/Cupcake
Length: 4779
Author on LJ mcstories
Why this fic must be read: The author takes a character, Cupcake, who only appeared for a few minutes in the movie and makes him come alive. This fic is the start of the linked Grischa series and traces the beginnings of a relationship between a, at first, unlikely pairing.

I love how the author shows how the two men move from friends to something a lot more special. Greg Matthews, Cupcake, is a wonderful character and how he learns to trust and love Pavel Chekov is a great story. Of course, when Chekov's shipmates find out about the pair there's doubts and questions and I like how realistic the misconceptions are drawn.
