Fics like a tear in the paper sky

“You must.” Spock stopped. “I have—” Kirk had never seen Spock stumble over his words in this way. He had the sense, then, that whatever Spock would next say, he did not want to hear it. “I have committed a great violation against your person.” A silence so profound Kirk’s ears began to ring. The words were absurd. They would not arrange themselves into any meaning he could comprehend. Bewilderment briefly eclipsed his apprehension, before it dropped back down into something like dread. “Explain.” It came out harder than he intended. Stillness overtook Spock; he seemed to call upon some deep reserve of strength to speak. When he did, his voice was nearly mechanical, completely monotone. “The night we returned from Holberg 917-G, against your knowledge, I entered into your mind. I altered your memories. Their emotional content. This is likely why you are experiencing difficulties completing your report of our encounter with Flint and Rayna. You were in love with Rayna. I took that love away.” *** A coda to "Requiem for Methuselah."
