This was awesome!

"Jim coughs, and steps away. “At least until you’re back where you’re supposed to be, which is on the bridge of my goddamn ship. Starfleet isn’t paying you to go flying off around the galaxy wherever you want.”

“No,” Spock agrees, “I believe that’s what they’re paying you for.”

I loved this! Thank you sooo much for sharing :D

There's something about Spock-snark that's just better than other people's snark, yanno? ;)

Thanks for commenting, I'm really glad you liked it!

This had me bouncing around like a flailly thing.

[black_eyedgirl]

*g* Really glad you liked it, thanks.

ok wow, you showed so much without being obvious about it.

He saw himself watching Spock die, heard the news of his own death through Spock’s ears. Images gone in an instant (not the point of the lesson, not as far as Jim knows) and they’re the partings of another universe. In this universe, anything could happen. A hundred thousand ways things could go wrong this time round that went right the time before. (A decimated cadet class, a newly endangered species). Jim knows that there is no law that forces the universe to give you the time that you should have with the people that matter.

That entire paragraph is wonderful, but that last sentence just stood out so much for me :)

I'm really glad that paragraph (and especially the last line) worked, because I had to rearrange for pacing quite a few times! I was kind of worried what I was trying to say would get lost, so that's lovely to hear, thank you :)

Eeeeeeeeee! The whole thing with Kirk not sure what he's supposed to do, and barely able to form the salute...eeeeeee! Will there be more to this?

[black_eyedgirl]

*g* Kirk is so endearingly awkward, I love him loads. I'm not writing more of this, but definitely more Trek with the two of them dancing around each other! Thanks for feedback :)

> “Though if the lovebirds had taken any longer, we would have ended up beaming him while at warp speed..."

*snort* Speak for yourself, Jim.

Perfect. Perfect. Understated and eloquent and wonderful. I want to know what happens next!

[black_eyedgirl]

*g* The thing is, I'm sure Jim entirely believes that Uhura is the reason Spock took so long to leave. He's the not the most self-aware guy in the world ;)

Thank you for the comment, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
