Sigh... I want to finish this one so badly. I think it's just going to end up being a series of gen pairing vignettes rather than something with an actual, like, plot. I've got about 1200 words so far, and I'd give this one a 75% chance of getting finished. Eventually. Ahem.
Oh, by the by, the entire purpose of this fic is to get Zoe and Spock in the same room together, both before and after the events in Serenity. They just seem like kindred spirits to me. But I'm going to quote a different part entirely:
“I hit him once. Punched him right in that pretty little face.” Giotto sighs happily.
“Nuh-uh,” grunts the big ogre in front of him, allowing liberal glimpses of the half-masticated protein bar in his mouth as he chews.
“This was before he was captain. Before Starfleet even. Though I did once get to haul his unconscious body to an escape pod and strand him on an ice planet.”
If Giotto’s not mistaken, the big guy is actually… tearing up? “I have dreams about that, sometimes. Only it’s usually a desert planet, and Mal is beggin’ me to leave him with some water. But I punch him in the face instead.”
