Fics like wishes on a wheel

He and Spock shared a long, complicated look. Spock’s gaze seemed to Kirk a very sensitive instrument. Kirk could not say exactly what it was designed to register, only that their several years together likely allowed for the collection of a great sum of data. Soon, Spock would assimilate it, analyze it, and Kirk would be at the mercy of his conclusions. “I do not fault you for giving it thought,” Spock finally said, “given the danger you encountered on Vulcan.” He paused significantly. He no longer seemed capable of meeting Kirk’s eyes. “The harm you suffered at my hands.” “That is,” Kirk began, though he knew this honesty was going to cost him. He just couldn’t say how much. “Not how I think of those events.” Spock was still not looking at him. “You will have to clarify.” *** Years after their diversion to Vulcan, a tedious diplomatic mission begins to stir up things long left unsaid.
