Specific Spock-centric fic, think it ends as S/K

I can't remember a lot of details but I remember that it had insecure Spock and at one point Bones ordered Spock to eat in the mess hall instead of in his room (maybe Spock had an eating disorder? I'm not sure) but Spock had stopped sitting with the crew and was isolating himself. There were scenes of Jim and Spock at meals together where Jim would talk and Spock wouldn't say anything.

There was one specific scene where Spock was at a table by himself in the crowded mess hall and a bunch of young crew members all sat next to him and were being really loud and one was eating a rare steak? I think Jim came and made them all move but I'm not sure.

I just remember a very lonely Spock, and a Jim that misunderstood a lot of Spock's actions and a very frustrated Bones.

Oh man, I've read this one before, I think. I'm almost positive it was on KSarchive, so I'll look through my read history. Do you remember any other details? I'm so sure I've read it, but I can't remember where or what it was called. I'll do my best to help you find it!

I'm pretty sure it's How We Operate by missBAMF since it has the specific steak scene that you're thinking of. It also makes sense with the KSArchive and AO3 confusion as it used to be on AO3 but some people got it taken down. You can read it on KSArchive (here: http://ksarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=6634) or on her WordPress site that was created as a backup I'm case people tried to get it taken down again (here: https://missbamf.wordpress.com)
