xlcatloveress. Six watershed events in Kirk and Spock’s lives and relationships - The aftermath of Conscience of the King and Dagger of the Mind, their first mind-meld, the aftermath of Amok Time, what happened after The Motion Picture, the time between The Voyage Home and Spock’s complete return to normality, and (I totally admit uncanonical except in my head and heart) Spock’s death in the XI universe.
Word Count: 28,242
Warnings: Violence and general icks regarding Tarsus IV and genocide in the second section. Spoilers for pretty much half the TOS canon (continuity geek, you know me). Creative interpretation of what exactly constitutes a mind-meld. Character death in the last section, but I think it’ll not be as heartbreaking as most character death - you’ll see what I mean when you get there. Specific spoilers are footnoted, as is speculation.
