Star Trek Reverse Bang is a Reverse Bang, i.e. a fanart/fanfic challenge akin to a Big Bang, only with the fanart created first to inspire the fic. Also the minimum word count is only 6k[1], less than with most Big Bangs. The idea was proposed by Ileliberte in August 2009 when she posted a poll to gauge interest.[2]

The first Reverse Bang was held in 2010. Sign-ups started in January 2010, the finished collaborations were posted from the middle of May to the end of June. There were 37 pieces of art and 42 pieces of fic in total.[3] The event was repeated in 2011 and 2012.

Word Count: 10,111
Warnings: Total AU, a bit fluffy
Fic Summary: The Star Alliance is a collection of independent principalities. The Age of Steam has wrought changes in the balance of power. Political maneuvering and royal intrigue resemble a chess match. Nyota Uhura just hopes she’s not the pawn in someone else’s game.

Pairings: K/S and of course, K/S
Words: 22,259

Artist: theoreticalpixy
Rating (fic): PG-13
Rating (art): PG
Genre: Adventure
Pairing: Kirk/Spock & Pike/Number One.
Word Count: ~6700
Warnings: Time loops, mayor character disappearance. It's unbeta'd- or more like a second draft i'll say, sorry! so every error there is totally mine(We ran out of time, but we will make it up this week at some point.)
Summary: Pike calls for Jim and Spock in a secret mission. They must to go to Sigma four to rescue younger Pike/Number one from their imprisonment. Pike has confidence in this mission, because he was there and he saw Jim and Spock rescue them. But what will happen to Jim and Spock there? Will they comeback alive in their own timelines to finish the loop in time?

On the other side of every mountain by jactrades

Artist: uber_wench
Rating (fic): R
Rating (art): G
Genre/Pairing: Gen (ish)
Word Count: ~6,300
Warnings: Art: none. Fic: uh, it's a slashy (Kirk/McCoy) sort of gen? MASH plotlines (and a bit of TOS) shamelessly used.
Summary: It's nine in the morning, they've already been in the OR tent for four hours, and Jim Kirk, surgeon extraordinaire, feels chatty. Of course.

One of Each of Us by KCScribbler

Artist: megan_moonlight
Rating (fic): PG-13
Rating (art): PG
Genre/Pairing: Gen (could be read as pre-slash Kirk/McCoy if that floats your boat), friendship, H/C, angst, humor
Word Count: 18,675
Warnings: Surely everyone’s seen the movie by now or wouldn’t be a part of this comm; basic movie spoilers referenced here and there. Also warning for references to TOS episodes and off-screen (and non-AOS) character death.
Fic Summary: Five times Bones comforted Jim, and one time Jim returned the favor. Shameless H/C – SHAMELESS, I tell you! Read at your peril. :P Title comes from this quote, from the TOS episode The Balance of Terror, McCoy speaking to Kirk: In this galaxy there’s a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all that, and perhaps more...only one of each of us. Don't destroy the one named Kirk.

Rating (art): PG
Genre/Pairing: Mystery/Adventure/Angst; gen with minor Kirk/Rand & Spock/Uhura
