Ooooh, pretty-pretty! This was very well executed, especially picking up on the "my best gratification"-bit, as when I have bad moments that one tends to make me a bit sad. Good to hear that it's all tosh from Kirk himself. :P I'm so happy you filled it - thank you!

I love this! Especially the part where Jim says he learned lying with the truth from Spock. Very Vulcan.

Wonderful!

This is amazing! Seriously, I adore it! I love the way you've fit so much logical breakdown into his delivery of that answer without making it feel overwrought or cludgy. It's so natural and believable, and Spock's response! I love seeing him vulnerable like this, and you did such a brilliant job with it! Wonderful!

This is the perfect fill for that prompt. You handled Kirk's inner thoughts deftly during the interview and showed exactly why the phrasing and word choice was chosen. Also, Spock's vulnerability at the end and Kirk's assurance was just icing on the cake. Love it. <3
