Hey everyone,
I have a sudden hankering for fics where Kirk and Spock break up. I would prefer it not to be for a "noble" reason, though--no breaking up because "it's best for both of us", or because "you need to go make Vulcan babies and I don't have a uterus", or because "Admiral So-and-So is blackmailing me and I want to protect you" or whatever. Instead, I'd like them to break up for the normal reasons why a lot of people break up: because they get into a really big fight, or they grow tired of each other, or one of them finds someone else.
Thing is, though, I'm a sucker for happy endings so I'd like the endgame to be them getting back together. But in the meantime, I just want to see a lot of angst and pain and probably quite a bit of Jim's abandonment issues and Spock trying to maintain his Vulcan facade of I-don't-give-a-fuck but actually he's breaking up inside.
I've already read
Among the Clouds by museaway (which is wonderful and heartbreaking btw, and exactly the kind of fic I'm looking for).
Thanks, everyone!
