Looking for a K/S fic

Hello!

I'm looking for an older fic - I remember reading it (online) when the Kelvin verse was just a twinkle in Abram's eyes. It was told primarily from Spock's point of view.

Kirk and Spock are on some kind of diplomatic mission on an alien planet, where the inhabitants are telepathic. Spock loves Kirk but doesn't want anyone to know it (especially Kirk!), and spends the whole time trying hard to shield his mind. One of the inhabitants, a male, is sweet on Kirk.

There's a climactic scene where Spock finally gives up trying to shield his love at the same time that the male inhabitant tries to meld with Kirk without his permission, which injures Kirk mentally and finally brings about Spock's confession and they're coming together (cuz of course Kirk secretly loved him the whole time).

Sorry, I can't think of the title or the author!

I know I've read this one, I think on AO3, Spock's more than just a bit off kilter from the stress. Looking but can't find it, gurrr.

Looks like we're thinking of the same fic. I've tried AO3, fan fiction.net, and even the K/S archive, to no avail.

Thanks anyway though :)

I think that's His Darkest Hour (http://www.ksarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=260) by jesmihr.
