I am editing some Spock and McCoy banter for my next chapter that turns into a real moment and ugh.
Ugh.
I just love them both so much.
They started out seeing eye to eye on so little.
They have very different approaches on how they want to live their lives -- and of course, fighting over Jim.
And then it turns into well I don't like you oh yeah well I don't like you more in fact I enjoy telling you so oh yeah well -
And somewhere along the way they can't stand to see anything bad happening to the other and they both don't want to admit it but it's like --
Ahh fuck.
Ahh sheeiitt.
Jim Kirk's Scooby Doo Ahh Ahh shenanigans got us out here being friends and loving each other despite our best efforts not to do exactly that.
Well I ain't telling you that WELL I Ain't TELLING YOU EITHER --
And then Search For Spock happens and they genuinely have no choice but to live together and admit that is totally possible.
That they are that close that Spock could manage to do that with his Katra via McCoy just as well as he could Jim
And they STILL have the audacity to act like they don't give a shit about each other.
I just.
Slow clap.
Bravo.
Bra-fucking-vo, I am having a moment here again like 25 years deep into this same fandom and these idiots still make me this giddy and crazy.
Every time I write Spones I spin off on a feel-trip.
Every time I come back and start writing them, it's like getting into your most luxurious, trusty, comfy pyjamas because you know it ain't gonna disappoint. It always slaps.
Kirk and Spock and Bones.
They just hit like
But the absolute unhinged energy of Spock and Bones united?
Yeah they never overused that in TOS, they know they'd be too powerful. It's too much power, even for Jim Kirk.
Like nevermind Khan, imagine if Spock and Bones just got along perfectly at all times. What would Jim do? Is that what happened in the mirror universe?
Anyway, I digress.
Shout out to all my Spones peeps because this is giving me life right now.
The writers on TOS must have had an absolute blast any time they knew they had to do a Spones scene.
