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 14: "Despite what you told me, you were hoping he'd come back to Starfleet after all, weren't you?"
Chapter 15: He'd never really thought much about what his mom had been doing when he was really little.
Chapter 16: There were a lot of mixed feelings about this place, and Riverside in general.
Chapter 17: How he felt... He didn't understand why he'd want to talk to Spock about any of it.
Chapter 18: "I think he doesn't want to say goodbye to you."
Chapter 19: Spock just seemed... Well, he was always serious, but he seemed more so.
