I am sure that this is definitely one that I should know, but I have so many fics bookmarked that I haven't been able to figure which fic this is...
I am looking for a K/S fic where Spock Prime tells nu!Spock that he cannot force Jim into a monogamous relationship because it is just not in Jim's nature to be able to settle down. Neither Jim nor Spock take well to this and Jim assures his Spock that they are not the same men as their counterparts and that--regardless of what type of issues the other Kirk had with relationships and commitment--he loves and is devoted to Spock and does not want anyone else.
I may be combining stories in my head, but I think that in this fic Jim gets occasionally frustrated by Spock's refusal to acknowledge or act on their relationship in public beyond slight touches and brushes of the hand. Maybe they are also moving rather slowly in private as well? It is not until they are on the new Vulcan colony and Jim sees how other Vulcans interact that he realizes that by Vulcan standards they are practically scandalous.
