Title: Fighting Gravity
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Rating: PG-13
Notes: An AU spawned off the "scruffy Spock" pics posted in
ontd_startrek last October. It grew a plot, and I've been writing this since. It's now done, at about 140,000 words. (For full notes, see the index post.)
Summary: When Spock left Starfleet after the encounter with Nero, Jim thought he'd lost his chance at their supposedly destined friendship. Upon returning to Earth after the Enterprise's first five-year mission, he discovers that Spock lost far more. Jim's willing to fight for the bright future they were promised, but the one thing standing in its way is Spock himself.
Since last crossposting...
Chapter 04: "Humans have an inherent tendency to fear what is different. Vulcans have at times done the same."
Chapter 05: All he really wanted to tell Spock was that he didn't want him to leave.
Chapter 06: "This 'pool' is indeed a more interesting pastime than I might have expected."
Chapter 07: "Leonard McCoy. Jim's ship's doctor," he introduced himself. "...Do I know you?"
