The Lost Years meta

[bigmamag]

FINALLY, I finished this thing. It's not even that long, wtf self? Anywho, here's an analysis thing on the Lost Years and other intriguing time gaps of interest to Kirk/Spock shippers. This is about as casual as intellectual discourses get, lol.

He wore Kirk around his neck into death. Until death do you part, indeed.

I'm actually all teary-eyed right now.

Also,

It truly does read like a love story. Spock leaves Kirk to rid himself of emotion and by proxy, rid himself of his love of Kirk, but he fails and finds that "this simple feeling" means more than logic. They get together for a while, then Spock is killed. Kirk risks his career, the Enterprise, his life to bring Spock back. He succeeds, and Spock's only first memory is Jim's name. Spock slowly gets his memories back, they stay together for another seven years, then are separated forever. Spock blames himself for Kirk's death and then later the death of his planet. He encourages his younger counterparts to stay with each other, that they needed each other.

I'm telling you, EPIC ROMANCE. I'm such a weird girl, because a good portion of girls like to curl up with romantic movies and have a cry, and when I want to do that, I pop in Search for Spock, lol!

THIS! OMG I do the SAME thing! It's like my security blanket :)

[lallyloo]

YES. ME TOO!

Are there, like, a bunch of slash couples standing on the street, and Kirk and Spock are walking down the middle of said street clad in bling and pimp canes and everyone moves the fuck out of the way in awe of their badassitude?

Um fuck yes XD

[bigmamag]

LOL, and I can't believe I just now thought of this pic, but now I have the perfect mental image.

[htebazytook]

That is epic XD

[candesgirl]

I am linking the hell out of this. This is how I see them, totally. And you know, I LOVE movie era K/S so much, it's my favorite, because they are so married. So married.

Epic love story, indeed.

[bigmamag]

Totally 100% correct. I mean, when I first heard someone talk of them being bondmates all along, I was like, wait a sec hold up, isn't that a little crazy? But then I thought about it for a while and was like huh, actually, it makes less sense if they weren't married. \o/

[sineala]

Wow! Points for canonical thoroughness.

The one thing I'm still never sure about is whether Spock was canonically married sometime after Generations. Picard says (in "Sarek," which is a totally awesome episode) that as a lieutenant (~2330s, I think?) he attended Sarek's son's wedding. I mean, it could have been Spock, could have been some other random kid (not Sybok, who was dead by then), but given that in "Unification" he's apparently met Spock once before, it would make sense for that to have been Spock's wedding.

I like to think it was some other kid, though, because otherwise my K/S shipper heart is saaaad.

[bigmamag]

Ooh I hadn't seen that episode! I may have to see this. I dunno, I figured if he got married, it would be for pon farr reasons, but Spock lost Kirk many years before Picard was even born. Maybe he just had some random person and then eventually married them? Idek, but either way it's just all so sad. :'( There totally needs to be more 'Kirk Prime and Spock Prime miraculously unite' fic out there.

[feanna]

Well, semi canon is actually that Spock married Saavik and that they even had kids together (wether in addition to a theoretical pregancy from the movie or not
