Summary

Spock is Vulcan, a concept he struggles with as a child of two worlds. Jim Kirk isn’t sure what he’s supposed to be, he just knows he isn’t his father. Their friendship begins seamlessly, but life catches up to them faster than they can keep up.

CHAPTER ONE

James T. Kirk + “insults”

yea spock?

imagine how lonely humans must seem to Vulcans!!! to us they appear formal and distant but they all share bonds!! parental bonds, sibling bonds, marriage bonds, and the k'war'ma'khon— the metal linking of all Vulcans, the faint physic connection making them one people! they can share direct thoughts and feelings, no stilted and limited verbal translation to get in the way!! touch is so ritualised because it is such a massive show of trust, especially considering their history of violence and conflict! i can picture some Vulcan essay or commentary written on Terran studies: “It is impressive so many of them form such lasting relationships, given that they cannot fundamentally understand each other or share experiences. The loneliness is inconceivable; they touch and do not know each other.”

Feels bad don’t it, Jimmy-Boy?

spock with a cat🥺

I like big boys,

itty bitty boys

Mississippi Georgia boys,

inner city boys

I like the pretty boys with the bow tie

Get your nails did, let it blow dry

I like a big beard,

I like a clean face

I don't discriminate, come and get a taste

From the playboys to the gay boys

Go and slay, boys, you my fave boys

GODDAMMIT SPO C K
