YIPPIE HAPPY OLD PEOPLE

song: Sleep Patterns by Merchant Ships

I love the gay little old man 🖖🌈🏳️‍🌈 (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)✿

i use flipaclip btw and i cant think of a caption my stomach hurts

I excluded Mystery Trio because of course that's everyone's favorite, who am I kidding (leave in the tags if you think I'm wrong on that one), and also leave in the tags which of these you've never heard of.

This is for a future Gravity Falls video essay, please reblog if you can.

dude dude dude you can't say you've read fics with spock being distracted by glasses!jim and not give recs that is so mean ( post/129322913722/spirk-headcanons-spock-loves-jim-kirk-in-big )

Spectacles by theproblematique The Captain is wearing spectacles. There is likely a justified reason for him to be. I do not know that reason, yet I do not feel the desire for said knowledge is powerful enough to distract me from the fact that… the Captain is wearing spectacles. 

Next Best Destiny by rabidchild67 AU in which Spock is Captain and Jim the (geeky) new officer in Sciences.Part 1 of Next Best Destiny

The Universal Constant by jelff (IT’S A COMIC AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL LOOK AT JIM HE’S SO CUTE)

Glasses by GlassAngel The evolution of attitudes about Jim Kirk’s glasses, from hostility to acceptance to appreciation. K/S at the end.

A Captain and His First Officer by  rouseyA collection of individual Spock/Kirk one-shots and/or drabbles. (Chapter 15: Glasses and Other Unfortunate Mishaps)

Across Every Universe by dawningjustice Jim Kirk, the adorably awkward science officer aboard the USS Enterprise falls for his Vulcan commander, Captain Spock.

I hope you can forgive me now :-)

Wait which billford fics pspspspsps

gotta say, it feels just a little surreal and silly to make a billford fic rec list in the year of our lord 2024, but hell yeah sure

There's an Endless Road by @agentquinn is one of those fics I reread like. at least once a year at this point. Post-canon, human!bill (absolute trash gremlin, as he should be), roadtrip with Bill, Stan and Ford. Cannot understate how much of a comfort fic this is to me. Do yourself a favor and read it

Also by Quinn, State of Dreaming is very much as the description of "One of Us AU, sort of". I remember for real gasping when figuring out what was going on. It's dark, it's just the right flavor of a bit surreal, it's fantastic

In All My Dreams I Drown (also by Quinn, I swear I've read fics from different authors) is a Pirates of the Caribbean AU with Bill as Calypso, Ford as Davy Jones that kickstarted me and @swiftboone talking non stop about this AU for months on end back in the day. Here's a masterpost of the AU of all of the wonderful peeps contributing to it!

While not really a billford fic, if you're on the Bill canon backstory high rn, please please PLEASE read Flat Dreams by @pengychan. It's an absolute masterpiece that very much made me weep reading back in the day. 100% one of those fics I want everyone who's into GF to have read at least once.

If you're not intimidated by long (LONG) fics, I slavishly followed Knowing Me, Knowing You by @f-imaginings back when. On surface, a typical 'bill gets trapped in a human body pre-betrayal' fic, but holy damn does it go places. equal parts rom com with an ABBA theme, equally character study/exploration with some great sci fi stuff

for something shorter, this fic by @marypsue is 100% one of my fave AU concepts of 'bill losing his own powers to make Ford a demon instead, making himself human in the process'. It's so good, bill being his usual trash baby self while coming to terms with the whole "being powerless" thing.

Anyway, these are the one's I can come up with from the top of my head! I've still got a whole heap of GF/billford fic recs under my fic rec tag, so that's another place to go searching! (and what the hell, shameless self promo of my own old fics lmao)

happy hunting for those fics my friend!!
