Whatever happened to Kirk/Spock?
Not a rant -- just an honest question.
For decades, K/S was the predominant slash pairing in Trek fandom. Then along comes the Reboot, and bam! I see Kirk/McCoy coming out of the woodwork, and there are a lot more stories with this pairing than there are K/S -- at least, that I've seen.
I'm not going to say it's wrong -- I'll just say it doesn't work for me.
What I'd love to know is, why the K/Mc slant in Reboot fanfic instead of the more traditional K/S. Is it because Spock was paired with Uhura in the movie? That certainly hasn't stopped slashers in the past.
