Thinking about T'Pring and Spock
Aug. 14th, 2014 12:49 pmNo surprise that I'm thinking about T'Pring and Spock right now, and wondering whether "Aria da Capo" might be worth revisiting. I'm six thousand or so words into it, and that's a lot of pixels to waste. (Not sure whether I can even find the file--I last paid attention to the draft version two or three computers ago.)
I know the beginning and the middle, but not the end, which is why I abandoned the project. On the one hand, their personalities and values are so (canonically) similar that it's no wonder they ended up where they did in "Amok Time." On the other hand, ADC is set a century or so later, and what was once repellent might now be attractive. (Or at least they might now think it's worthwhile being partnered with a companion who groks you.) On the third hand, ADC is more or less set in the Unspoken Truth universe, which complicates things exponentially. Or maybe it's actually taking place in a UT alterniverse. Hmm--that would make things a LOT easier.
