Summary
It occurs to Christopher Pike at around 2200 hours over a glass of the good brandy that Lieutenant Kirk and Commander Spock, if introduced, would probably click so hard that the resulting sonic boom could damage the warp core.

Summary
After the destruction of Vulcan, many members of the endangered species are left without bondmates. To prevent any further unnecessary deaths, a program is set up to match volunteers with Vulcans entering pon farr alone.
It’s a simple contract: complete a mental compatibility exam, and when a Vulcan enters pon farr with a high enough compatibility score, you drop everything to spend a night on New Vulcan, then go your separate ways. There are definitely no weird ancient bonds in play that can get you accidentally-Vulcan-married to that person.
…Right?

Summary
Silence.
Jim pulls back the comm to look at the little screen. They’re still connected.
“Spock?” He asks. Nothing. Jim is about to snap the comm closed in frustration, when he hears a ragged inhale.
“You’re on a roof?” Spock’s voice is deadly soft, flat and hard and…something else that Jim’s brain won’t process. Jim rolls his eyes. He grabs another drink and wrestles it open, taking three large swigs before he bothers responding.
~~~
After the events of ST:ID, Jim calls Spock from a rooftop. Spock misunderstands.

Summary
Jim and Spock have a lot of things in common, but what's perhaps the most significant of these commonalities is the fact that they're both waiting for their soulmate. Jim met his as a child, on Earth, and he knows they're Vulcan but he can't quite remember a face. Spock's never been to Earth.
This is a problem.
It's a problem because Spock's kinda falling in love with Jim, and Jim's kinda falling in love with Spock. They fit together like perfect little puzzle pieces. Why couldn't they be each other's soulmate? Why does everything make sense but that one little piece?
And then someone's murdered on the academy campus and Jim, ever curious, investigates.
And the memories came rushing back--memories that Jim's parents erased to protect him. He was on Tarsus IV. He survived the massacre, but now someone's come back to take out all of the survivors, and Jim might be next.
//many, many, many liberties are taken with mind-melds and vulcan mind fuckery in general dont @ me at all of the inaccuracies i wrote this to be gay not to be accurate
