No no no, you see, in all those fics, Kirk and Spock conveniently fall in love with each other afterwards, or has always been secretly attracted to Spock. No fic where he does it just because, you know, saving his friend's life, with no convenient revelation of romantic feelings afterwards. But I don't read much reboot fic, so maybe it's happened there?
I'm sure that all the out-of-control-sex tropes (sex pollen, ABO, etc) stem directly from Pon Farr. I mean really, fanfic writers could not invent a more perfect fanfic-fodder if they tried... :)
