This? Utterly amazing. The way you write Spock's character development rings so true to me. This chapter made me laugh, made me a little teary eyed (Sarek misses his son! He wants Spock to call home more often!).
You always write in a way that strikes a deep, throbbing chord in my heart. Thanks for writing this.
Oh, I love the interaction between Spock and Sarek. Such a human conversation with a Vulcan filter. I most definitely "awww"ed.
I also love how you manage to flow from Spock's heartfelt, gorgeous promise of never-ending love into the humorous fear of giving T'Pau an aneurysm that was mentioned at the beginning of the chapter. It's so seamless, and the contrast adds much more emotional value to both parts. Very well done.
That my observations and the way I see the world went through a metamorphosis?
Interesting meta-comment on Observations as a whole, and an intriguing tie back to Spock's favourite musical piece, Metamorphosis. The necessity for change, the reflections on what Spock Prime may have regretted, the delightful interaction with Sarek, T'Pau's aneurysm -- as other commenters have noted, this chapter has so much packed into it, all of it emotionally resonant and true and lovely.
I love Spock's conversation with his father, and how his own thoughts bookend the situation--particularly how much humor he exhibits in his thought process. It's such a huge contrast to how stiff Spock was at the start of this story (and the five-year mission).

he and I spent several months in New York City searching for Edith Keeler. - do you mean McCoy, not Edith?
a Vulcan who follows every tenant of Surak - tenet, not tenant!
much of data pertaining to my biology - much of THE
But of all the impressions that remain of our brief meeting, the strongest is this: he regrets.
Beautiful, evocative sentence.
My father and T’Pau have changed, but I do not believe them to have changed that much.
Lol! *loves*
