I don't know which had me more excited: the prospect of a new little tidbit of DNSB, complete with spoiler (I'm guessing the Admiral's Ball?) or the content of said little tidbit of DNSB. Ah hell, it was the content, for sure.

This was AWESOME. Awe-so-me! So many things to love, let's see: Jim petrified of the big bad clothing salesman. The delightful banter. The smelling salts. Spock and Winona addressing Jim's wardrobe behind his back (heh). Or the end, which has a Jim willing to commit and not running for the hills at the very thought of marriage, even if they weren't quite there yet at this point in their relationship (if I didn't already love you, I'd fall in love with you for that alone, and you know why that would be the case ;-)) and the boys dropping everything for some sexy times. How did you fit so much win in such a little piece? You're amazing, you are.

But the thing I loved most... this piece reflects a philosophy near and dear to my heart:

Daniel scoffs. “Rubbish; we talked about this. Clothes are not a need, they are-”

“-a means of creatively expressing one’s personality,” Spock finishes, ignoring Jim’s horrified glance. “It is an intriguing philosophy, I admit.”

THIS - I've been telling my husband this very thing for years. ;-)

Good guess. ;)

How did you fit so much win in such a little piece?

It's a miracle what you can do when the universe is already established. :D

I'm pretty sure Jim has committed quite a while ago, even though he might not know it fully yet. But he really would do anything, even though they aren't quite there yet, and Spock knows it. Of course, they could have gotten hitched right there and then and enjoy bliss and happiness, but then, they wouldn't quite be themselves then, would they? :)

HAHA. I'm gonna take a wild guess that your hubby doesn't buy it. :D
