I'm looking at a lot of commenters who seem to have forgotten that the majority of slash fiction is not canon. If they think authors have to wait for a textual outing before the sex gets...gets anything, they've missed some of the most salient points about fanfic, never mind slash. It's so not an argument for fewer gay characters in anything...
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Inquiry to the Board: I have to write something about James T. Kirk based on a Star Trek scene. Could be TOS or animated or movies.
I asked for Amok Time but another writer got it first!
What's your favorite Kirk scene?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kirk crying at Spock's funeral in Wrath of Khan. Also, Kirk taunting Khan is fun.

Wrath of Khan has some good stuff. Definitely under consideration.
How about from the TOS?
Kirk talking Nomad (the errant space probe) into self destructing?
Kirk make gunpowder from rocks and cardboard tubes and shooting the lizard man in the chest?
Kirk out strategizing the Romulan space commander?

Robin Gibb, Donna Summer, and Adam Yauch--all cancer, right? Ugh. Fuck that noise.

Oh, that's one of my faves.
How about in The Enterprise Incident? Kirk pretends to go crazy, Spock pretends to kill him, and Kirk disguises himself as a Romulan. Then they escape. (Did I mention that fake!crazy!Kirk took the Enterprise into the Neutral Zone?)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Kirk make gunpowder from rocks and cardboard tubes and shooting the lizard man in the chest?
That is a pretty good one. Evil Kirk in "The Enemy Within" is fun. I love his bluff in "A Taste of Armageddon." Also the punchline to "A Piece of the Action."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Both are worthy. I think I'm narrowing it down to Romulans who were always cooler than Klingons anyway.
Any other opinions from the floor?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I do like Kirk split in two. And Android Kirk.
