THE JIM BACKSTORY REVEAL HOLY SHIT

I’m stressed about Spock :( and also WHERE IS JIM

They’re separated by deep space AND in the middle of a miscommunication that’s upsetting Spock so badly he’s disgusted at himself?! DAMN YOU WHOCHICK

wough I’m STRESSED

oh is THIS where the angst starts to pop off? ughhh y’all KNOW miscommunication tropes make me sad

okay shit is about to Break Really Bad with Nero... and also again, what kind of conflict are Kirk and Spock about to deal with for the next like, 30% of the fic? I'M SCARED

WHAT’S SEXIER THAN MIND MELDS NOTHING!!! Sadly things are too happy for the fact that we have 48% of the fic left… and I don’t remember a damn thing… mom come pick me up I’m scared

This is my first reread of this fic and WHEW BOY. I generally keep fics and Goodreads separate with a few notable exceptions, and this fic is one -- first of all, its word count is 258,951 words so I'd like that to "count" for something, lol. But second, I want to document the reread because this is A HELL OF A STORY. JIM JUST REALIZED HE HAS FEELINGS FOR SPOCK LMFAO!!!!! HELLO??? WHAT'S BETTER THAN THIS!

What is it with the Star Trek fandom that it just has all the best and epic fanfiction in it. Even AUs are great in here

okay I started on this a few weeks ago and I was hooked for days but I’m at the point now where I usually get with fics that are 100k+ where I feel like the author could’ve just stopped a few chapters ago but I want to finish it and I think it will pick back up again bc what I’ve read so far of it is just phenomenal and perfectly in character and exciting, suspenseful, funny, heartwarming, etc!!! Spirk 4 ever
