The Lotus Eaters by Aldora89 (NC-17/Explicit)
Hi, I'm RabidChild, and I'll be driving the van for Star Trek AOS for May. I'm primarily a Kirk/Spock gal, but I hope to offer a few other pairings for your enjoyment.
Fandom: STAR TREK REBOOT
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Length: 93k

Author Website: Master List
Why this must be read:
From the Author’s Summary: Stranded on the planet Sigma Nox while searching for a missing away team, Spock and Kirk find themselves pitted against a disturbing native life form.
What sticks with me most about this fic is the slow yet satisfying and believable build up to a Jim/Spock relationship, all buried in one of the best mission fics I have ever read. The two are stranded on a planet that may ultimately be lethal to them both, and to Jim especially, but they wind up saving each other (as well as one of the most well-wrought and imaginative OCs I have yet to see) while solving a deep mystery about the very planet that has captured them. Along the way, they fall in love.
The fic deals with issues of addiction and loyalty and friendship that matures into devotion and, eventually, love. Also: exceptional action and adventure scenes with very memorable native creatures. It is a masterpiece.
