Star Trek thematic list: Ancient/Non-Reform Vulcan

[ratcreature]

This is a thematic list (i.e. not recs) for stories about Ancient/Non-Reform Vulcan, i.e. stories featuring a Vulcan society without their emotional control. This can be either real Vulcan in the past at any point before Surak's Reforms (whether set then, or with time travel from the canon time period), some kind of alternate universe in which Vulcan devolped differently (mirror universes, parallel universes etc.) or even a society of Vulcanoid people who are living on another planet (e.g. were seeded by the Preservers or a faction of Vulcans who colonized the planet in the past, with the exception of the Romulans, who are not counted for this trope). Not included are stories that focus on individual Vulcans loosing emotional control, or just feature some tradition or rituals that date back to ancient Vulcan.

These are not recs, but a thematic list. I'll link gen stories as well as all kinds of pairings. Also, while I label for pairings and include the author's summary, I don't list detailed warnings, and due to the nature of this theme stories frequently may feature violence, slavery, dub-con, and non-con among other things, so readers following links should take care and check out the full story headers. It is split in TOS and Reboot for now, but if anyone has TNG, DS9, VOY or ENT stories featuring this, I'd add those as well.

So far I have eleven TOS and five Reboot stories, but I'd love to find more.

It is such a classic trope. I hope more stories will turn up.

I saw this on treknews on LJ and was intrigued since one of my favorite stories is Chronicle (http://www.angelfire.com/az2/fanfic/chronicle.html) by DebbieB (http://www.angelfire.com/az2/fanfic/classic.html). It's a pre-reform Vulcan story with TOS characters Spock and Chapel via a time travel thing. Spock and Chapel are a couple in this and I know a lot of people hate that pairing but the author is fantastic and if one can tolerate Spock/Chapel, it's enjoyable.

Thanks for pointing this story out! I just didn't know about it. This list is absolutely pairing neutral, so I'd add it even if I hated the pairing. Though personally I actually read Spock/Chapel, so I'm happy to get my hands on more pre-Reform Vulcan.
