Symphony for Stars and Planets, Part 2

“I told you we had things in common,” Kirk gloats later.

“Hmm,” Spock says, and takes his rook. “Check.”

“Damn.” Kirk sighs. “All right, all right, I get the point.”

He reveals himself to be an excellent chess player, though, enough of a challenge that Spock really does want to continue playing with him. But it turns out to be impossible to ( Read more... )

I'm glad you liked it! I'm still sorry it took me FOREVER to finish. D: Also sorry it didn't turn out as cool as it was in my head, but xD what can you do. Hope it wasn't too offbase as I'm actually a choir person, not an orchestra person! :)

This is AWESOME. Can I mention that I LOVE YOU for Kirk’s attire? Especially the fermata shirt! XD And the instrument innuendo from Kirk, oh God. You’ve successfully captivated the band geek in me. (Seriously, McCoy struck me as a clarinet, too! Scotty is such a percussionist, and- well, the whole cast fit their instruments to a T. HOW DID YOU READ MY MIND.)

The part I absolutely love the most is Jim’s confession of his feelings to Spock. It’s so simple and sweet and intimate and utterly him. You made me curl up in a ball on my bed and grin to myself, damn you! ♥

There’s a million things I can say about how incredible this is (and a million lines I could quote as pure gold), but then this comment would end up as a dissertation. So I’m just going to reiterate that this was awesome. :D

Yaayy, thank you so much! :D Oh man, I've wanted one of those fermata shirts since I found out about them, so naturally Kirk had to have one. XD I'm so glad it worked for you as a band geek!! I was actually in choir, not band or orch, so I was a little worried about that, hehe. But music geekery is apparently transcendental! And I have to give other anons in that thread credit for some of the instrument choices, but yeah, clarinets are the coolest and therefore McCoy had to be one (and play saxophone on the side because I just could not resist). And as for Scotty, liking explosions = liking percussion, riiight? ;)

I'm really happy the confession part worked for you. In my humble opinion, Jim is terribly affectionate at his core underneath all the awesome in-charge-Captainness, and so I'm sooo glad to hear that came across as authentic. Yeah, your comment made me curl up in a ball on MY bed and grin, so I'm not apologizing for that. ;) Thank you ten times over. ♥

Thank you ever so! :D

this is soooo ridiculously awesome, i almost have no words.

their instruments fit perfectly, everytime you let on what they played i was struck with the thought of how much it made sense for them to play that. Their personalities matching what I have percieved as the type of person to play that (I've been in band for 7ish years), and especially with Kirk being a trumpet player.

He is just such a trumpet player, like Scotty is a percussianist and Sulu is a celloist. Although, this is me stereotyping a little bit, but your fic just amplifys how people's personalities come out in their instruments.

I also enjoyed how Spock liked Kirk before he knew him, but then had to grow to enjoy the person he actually was.

I've got to give credit to the original requester/posters in the thread before me for a couple of the instrument choices! I'm really glad that you feel it's authentic, though, I was worried it wouldn't be because I am a choir nerd and not a band geek or an orchestra dork. :D Thank you for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
