Please share your Trip/T’Pol favorites with me!

[Sumire]

‘Tis I, your newest Trip/T’Pol shipper on deck! Yes, I decided to go all in on a ship two decades past its freshness date but I never let a little thing like being entirely out of step with humanity at large stop me from having fun!

Many of you fine and helpful people have shared your wisdom as I have struggled (in vain) to find an active shipping community for my current obsession. I truly appreciate all the sites you have shared, all the history you have recalled for me and all the insights you have imparted upon me. I have come to realize that I will not be able to recreate the fervor of 2004 but that is probably for the best. So, in this, the softly glowing coals of Enterprise fandom, I am attempting to nurture a little flame with which to warm my hands. I would truly and deeply appreciate it if anyone reading this with any similar inclinations would merely share with me some beloved artistic creations.

Do you have a long-cherished Trip/T’Pol fic you could link? Is there an artist I ought not to miss? Do you know where to find fan edits that take advantage of the series being available on Blu-ray? Please, pretty please with sugar on top, share these with me in this thread.

I do not come begging to you empty handed! I am delighted to share my favorite discoveries with you too!

Here is a fan edit that left me in tears on multiple occasions: https://asktriptucker.tumblr.com/post/61156630066 (This starts from the first episode and goes to TATV which is why it ends in me crying so fair warning there but the editing is exquisite and the song choice just clinches the deal.)

Here is an incredible fan artist: https://el-im.tumblr.com/post/667348830126227456 (This takes you to a drawing of the cheek kiss from Home but el-im uses their phenomenal artistic talent to draw pretty much everybody from Enterprise so take a peek at their entire #star trek ent tag even if you aren’t a Trip/T’Pol shipper — and thanks for kindly sitting through this if that describes you).

Here is that same artist’s fan edit to counteract the first one by making you laugh: https://el-im.tumblr.com/post/682461215929384960/the-vulcan-compound-tpol-lived-in-before-being

Now, having been cheered up, here’s a fic that will rip your heart out: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41588487 (teen and up rating - hangover, cursing, description of some injuries)

That may possibly get the ball rolling. Please join in if you are so inclined. Thank you!

Cool, a T/T thread! Been too long.

I heartily recommend startraveller776, who goes by @star here at TrekBBS, and sometimes writes as Misplaced. We met over fanfic at Trip/T'Polers, and her talents as writer and artist are endless. She has written for many fandoms, and you'll find a sampling of her work at Fanfiction.net.

Another writer to check out is Ragua. Her stuff is at the Trip/T'Polers Fanfiction Archive and Fanfiction.net (Maybe other places, I have not checked.) Hilarious as well as engaging. You might start with the first story of hers I read, Miscommunication. I fell into it so fast that I lost track of time and missed a meeting!

Many, many T/T stories over at Trip/T'Polers. You cannot leave comments anymore but the quality of fic there is high

Thank you for introducing me to a brand-new (to me) site! I think this author is anr on AO3 too. (I admit, I didn’t look much beyond the Enterprise fics which appear to be the same.) I’ve kudosed everything and have “When the War Is Over” bookmarked. They’re an amazingly talented author!

This fic is on AO3 too! After reading it I became absolutely obsessed (I know, me? Obsessed? Qu’elle surprise) with the song. I listened to every version I could find but I couldn’t find one with all the same lyrics all together. It’s a lovely song and I would absolutely love love love to find a version that could possibly be the one sung by Trip in the story.

Can you believe it was drawn with a golf pencil? That is absolutely insane! It’s a stunning picture though.

She’s startraveller776 on AO3 too! Reflections of Another Universe is not, however, on AO3 yet which is a shame because it’s a great fic and would net her some kudos and comments for sure! She did say she is updating it though and will post the updated version to AO3 whenever it is completed so that’s something to look forward to!

Miscommunication is an absolute delight! Ragua, sadly, is not on AO3 so I had to leave a comment on FFN but fear not, I gushed over it because it is awesomesauce!

I’m breaking this into two because it got waaaaaay too long but here are some more Trip/T’Pol things I love and want to share and am totally up to squeeing about with whomever.

The first Trip/T’Pol fanart I think I ever liked on Tumblr:
https://www.tumblr.com/pencilscratc...ing-about-baby-spock-with-his-real-canon-aunt This is adorable.

On Tumblr, starfleetspacecadet does a lot of funny and cute art with Trip/T’Pol but I’m just going to link this one because it makes me laugh:
https://killjoyfabulous.tumblr.com/...80/friendo-i-live-and-breathe-your-tpol-being

This one is cute and puts me in mind of Throw Your Arms 'Round Me, Feel My Heart Break, the fic mentioned earlier: https://marmolita.tumblr.com/post/649477950209753088

starsandfireplains (nazaleas) is writing a very engaging Trip/T’Pol series on AO3 called Built to Last. The first fic is finished and the second is being updated quite frequently. It’s exciting to read a Trip/T’Pol fic as it’s being written here in 2023!

Call It Anything You Want But a Mistake by Witchy1ness Is also new to AO3 and a thrilling emotional roller coaster ride. It’s filling in a lot of interactions from Season Three and Four and claims canon compliance through “Demons” (Elizabeth still dies in Terra Prime though so, warning for that).

mytardisisparked has started a series of stories from the E² timeline called, fittingly, Enterprise Squared. I found A Long-Expected Party to be particularly charming.

(I’m sticking to newer postings here just because I think a lot of the older fics were posted elsewhere previously and are probably well known already.)

And lastly… a video I can post here!

This fic is on AO3 too! And it’s written by our own @HopefulRomantic, yes?

Er, 'fraid not. My nick has no underscore, I'm HopefulRomantic all smushed into one word. (And HopefulR at ff.net cuz my name was taken, alas, but my full nick is in the story headers.) And I never got around to uploading my stories to AO3, because it was just getting going back in those days. Glad to know there are ENT stories there.

After reading it I became absolutely obsessed (I know, me? Obsessed? Qu’elle surprise)

We've all been there, hon. I lived and breathed ENT for a lotta years, and I still love this show and T/T, always will.

Oh! So sorry! I thought because it was on LiveJournal and from 2010 before AO3 really took off people were in more of a community and pen names were more proprietary back then. I’m truly sorry for conflating the two of you and since our posts on here can be found via a search engine and thus read in isolation from further clarification, I’ll go back and edit my responses to clarify.

Here's some more Enterprise fanfiction sites you might like to check out Trekfiction.com/directory/series_Ent_1.html Adastrafanfic.com/browse.php http://trekieverse.wordpress.com Here's a few more story sites that have a few Enterprise stories https://trekfanfiction.net www.seema.org/ffarchive.html

No worries. I never had a LJ account either. I was really comfy over at TripT'Polers and didn't venture out far from there.

Anything @star writes is something to look forward to.

I didn’t even know about the spacebattles forums! So many new things to read! Thank you!

My favorite scene in Enterprise is the scene where Trip is finally having a sense of grief and anger of his Sister's death in The Forgotten and says he envys Vulcans for hiding their emotions. It was really raw and emotional and some of Trennier's best acting.

I loved that scene. It was the most heartfelt performance, with the end of Terra Prime in as runner-up.

 

[tomalak301]

Oh I guess this was fan made trip t’pol stuff. I misread the thread. I guess forget what I posted above.

 

[Sumire]

No worries! I’m happy to read about anything affectionate toward Trip and T’Pol! ♥

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

I loved that scene from "The Forgotton" where Trip finally opens up to T'Pol. That episode is one of my favorites.

Favorite Trip/T'Pol moments from the show might fit in nicely here. Speaking for myself, a lot of those moments - and also moments I wish had been in the show - were springboards for me into my stories.

 

[panyasan]

Talking about scenes that inspires us: this story is one of my favorites: Counting Down to Zero Chapter 1: Z Minus Twelve, a startrek: enterprise fanfic | FanFiction by Rigil Kent and the Missing scenes stories by Alelou: Missing TnT Scenes Season One Chapter 1: Broken Bow, a startrek: enterprise fanfic | FanFiction

This one is very recent, it's the first story of xmsbehavex, Rebound Chapter 1, a startrek: enterprise fanfic | FanFiction, I enjoyed this a lot.

One of my favorite ATATV fix it fics is “And Having Writ…” by T’Leela.
http://triptpolers.houseoftucker.com/fiction/author_tleela_and_having_writ.shtml

There’s also a new fic series on Ao3 that I have been enjoying, “Built To Last” by Starsandfireplains.
https://archiveofourown.org/series/3479545

I like to think that Trip and Ben Solo are having a beer together in the Bar At The End Of The Universe, but they’ll both be back.

 

[Sumire]

Okay, fellow Trip/T’Pol shippers! I have become somewhat obsessed with finding this fic I read within the past year (it better not be on the Delphic Expanse fiction archive that disappeared…). The thing is, I didn’t bookmark it. Just to be sure, I went through all my browser bookmarks. I’m about 90% sure it’s not on AO3 and it definitely isn’t in my bookmarks there either way. I think it’s on Trip/T'Polers at House of Tucker because that layout seems to flicker in my memory. So I started trying to guess which fic I wanted by the title and though I enjoyed rereading things like your “Logic, Inescapable,” @HopefulRomantic, I remain no closer to my goal.

So, I’m turning to all of you. Some of you read fanfic. You were kind enough to recommend titles to me. On the off chance that you have read this fic I am frantically looking for, I will describe it to you and hope it triggers a memory for someone. It is a very wish fulfillment retelling of “Home.” The priest can tell right away that T’Pol is meant to be with Trip… probably because they’re already bonded… he’s some really famous, very old priest Koss’s family insisted on having due to the prestige. He is highly regarded for his ability to unerringly perceive fated bonds or some sort of “he recognizes soulmates” style of ability. So he insists on wedding Trip and T’Pol instead. I think it might be even more wish fulfillment than that, maybe they get told how rare and special and unique their love is, or everyone (except Koss and his family) become super happy about it or something along those lines.

I know why I didn’t bookmark it, because I usually crave realism. However, just this week, I’m suddenly wanting outsider POV with a twist of deus ex machina. Please don’t judge me too harshly and if you have an idea of where I can find this fic, please let me know.
