you can't walk away from the price you pay (7018 words) by brightlyburning
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Characters: James T. Kirk, Crew of the Starship Enterprise
Additional Tags: Tarsus IV (Star Trek), Post-Tarsus IV Massacre (Star Trek), Physical Disability, Alternate Universe, Tavina's Alternate Universe 5K Event 2026
Summary:
Jim smiles the appropriate amount - enough warmth to seem friendly, enough muted sorrow to seem appropriate for the knowledge of why the party is here - and tries not to feel flayed alive.
As the fleet flagship, the Enterprise is the natural choice to deliver this delegation to Tarsus IV: the staff of the museum Starfleet has funded, five admirals to attend the opening, and an entire fleet of holo-technicians to scan every inch of the museum and its environs to create simulations for the rest of the universe.
Jim’s fought and scraped and demanded his place aboard Enterprise despite his weak heart and shit liver and kidneys, his chronic dry eyes and limp that becomes too obvious when he’s tired. He’s learned other styles of self-defense to compensate for his weakened bones, excelled in enough courses to make up for the disabilities that tried to keep him from the captain's chair, earned it, and yet if he could be a captain of some freighter right now, he’d prefer that.
And then there's also Fic In A Box!

Summary:
“You are sitting on a park bench with four – no, five pizza boxes and one extra-large soda cup. On Delaware Bay Pier. The only thing you can see from here is fucking New Jersey.”
“So?” Clark shrugs, and flips open the lid of the cardboard box on top of the stack. “I feel like your anti-New Jersey bias is clouding your judgment. Maybe the sight of New Jersey is soothing to me, have you considered that?” He pulls a soggy pizza slice out of the box.
“Do you want some pizza?” he asks, because he knows his parents would want him to be a good host.
“Not if it has pineapple on it,” Terrific says. Clark looks down at his pizza, which is sagging under the weight of extra pineapple.
“I guess that means no,” he says, and bites into his own slice. It’s actually really good pizza. Mr. Terrific is definitely missing out.

It's been three years of brainstorming sessions, disasters and triumphs, punishingly late nights and straight up all-nighters. Walking out of the Planet at three-thirty a.m. and watching the city wake up over ham and eggs at the diner on Fifth where they make their own hot sauce in-house.
Tonight is Friday. It'll be their third date. Lois is going to invite Clark up for coffee, and Clark is going to do one of two things. Option one: stammer and make up some excuse— he left a load of laundry in the washer, he promised to feed his neighbor's cat—
Option two: he's finally going to spill it. He's going to tell Lois the truth.
She doesn't know which possibility scares her more.
