many thanks to putigress2012 for the warp-speed beta

prompt: Kirk actually makes a special gift for Spock. Because it's personal, according to Vulcan tradition, he sees it as a declaration...and accepts.

Awww, Very cute! Now someone needs to make a pic of Spock wearing Jim's lumpy sweater :) I just love that picture in my head!

Yes! I would love some art from this. Too bad I can't draw myself.

Such a sweet story. It looks like Spock got what he wanted for Christmas after all (Jim too).

: D! Yay home made sweaters!!! This is so cute, and your Spock is perfect. Great job.

Thank you so much! I was really worrying about getting him right, since I rarely write his POV.

I can't really think about Jim (or any other man) knitting, my fault. But... the very idea of Jim knitting a sweater for Spock is priceless. =))
And I do find Spock's POV perfect. ;)

Thank you!

This was sweet and fluffy, the kind of story that makes me think of happy nights under a quilt in front of a fireplace... you know, quiet contentment. Jim's gift was very thoughtful and suitably appropriate for Spock, and made personal by the fact he did it himself. I'm sure Spock will look gorgeous in it - even more so with the perfect accessory: Jim holding his hand :). Thanks for writing!

Quite a compliment. Thank you!
