Summary
'You feel nothing! It must not even compute for you! You never loved her!'
He regrets the words the moment they come out of his mouth. But that other, older Spock said that he needed to get command of the ship, and to do so, must get his younger counterpart to acknowledge his emotions. Spock is not the first Vulcan Jim has had dealings with, and he can think of few things that would get T’pri as riled up as quickly as insinuating that she doesn’t love him.
He gambles that Spock is the same about his mother, and it pays off.
(Or, the one where Jim has a Vulcan daughter, and it leads to all sorts of emotions.)
update: now with a chapter two from Spock’s perspective!

Summary
Is that true? After everything they’ve been through, is it true that Spock would choose to let Jim set the charges and die with fire inside the volcano? Jim doesn’t believe in no-win scenarios. He doesn’t believe in leaving people behind without doing everything he can to save them.
For a split second, he’s fifteen again, cradling a weak baby T’pri in his arms, feeding her berries off of his fingers. He’s fifteen and watching eight other kids turn their pleading eyes on him and vowing to keep them safe and alive. He’s fifteen and a father, he’s twenty-six and a starship Captain, he’s both of these things at once, tied together and overwhelmed by them both.
(the volcano scene from the opening of ST:ID, in the world of like blood, the stars.)

Summary
The machines beep and whir around them, the distinctly uncomfortable sound of a hospital. Across the room, her dad is hooked up to tubes while his doctor, her uncle, administers yet another hypo. T’pri is twelve, but she feels so much younger, resting in a biobed, being told to eat. The reality of their mortality lingers around her, permeating her every thought. She knows what it’s like to starve. She thinks losing her dad would feel similarly—an ache that chews away at her insides, a rot that grows on everything she tries to consume. Her dad is fine, by one of those variable definitions, but one day he won’t be. She worries what will become of her when he’s not.
(Star Trek: Into Darkness, in the world of like blood, the stars.)
