Fics like preventable disasters

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.)
