I've been getting a whole lot into Star Trek: reading a lot of older fanfic and discussing it with a pen pal.

One of the things we brought up was that surely, even if Kirk was actually completely 100% heterosexual and not in love with Spock at all, he'd still sleep with Spock to save his life in Pon Farr right? There's absolutely no way he would refuse, if they couldn't get Spock to Vulcan in time. And he'd never, ever tell a subordinate to do it instead. Yet incredibly, no one has ever written a fic about this scenario! No one! I was boggled.

Though I then started thinking about all the myriad cool different other ways Pon Farr has been done in fanfic, and about the evolutionary reasons for why Vulcans would have such a weird mating cycle...
