Specific Kirk/Spock about using a safeword
I can't remember where I read this, though I don't think it was either livejournal or AO3. That's not to say it's not on them either, but it wasn't where I found it.
Kirk and Spock are in a relationship, and they have a safeword. One day, while doing something fairly normal, Spock uses it. It turns out that he was just... testing it out, basically. Possibly someone implied that Kirk wouldn't actually listen? Anyway, Kirk (whom the story is told by) is *gutted* by the idea that he's done something harmful to Spock. Even after Spock explains, he's a little shaky. He goes to take a shower to calm himself down (not sexually. I'm pretty sure he went soft after the safeword) and Spock, surprised, askes why they aren't continuing. Kirk tells him that since he safeworded, that's entirely up to him and that he, Kirk, won't try anything currently. Spock then invites him to continue.
The safeword was "Klingon", I believe.
