Written for sacred_20 prompt #3: Sinner. Also a part of the drabble challenge at where_no_woman.

Timeline wise, this takes place during the gap between TOS and TMP.

Ah -- this is so good: I like how you keep T'Pring enigmatic. I got a sense that there are things (about T'Pring, about Vulcan culture) which Spock understands but Kirk can't, and that plays beautifully into setting it at a moment where Spock seems to have completely given himself over to Vulcan, and Kirk can't connect with him or find him.

I'm sorry your daughter lost her father.
Oh, Kirk. Passive aggressive much? ♥

even if killed him
Forgot an 'it'? :D

Hey, I'd say in this instance, it's fully justified. ;)

And fixed. Thanks!

Well done! You've captured T'Pring's glacial facade perfectly.

THANK YOU, KIRK FOR SAYING WHAT EVERY SINGLE VIEWER WHO SAW THAT EP WAS THINKING.

*cough* Sorry. That ep... It must be some hugely private cultural thing, or else the biggest example of handing a character the Idiot Ball in Star Trek history.
