The Final Frontier by Maenad
Summary: I know that Star Trek V was a terrible movie, but what I don’t understand is how come hardly anyone has attempted to exploit the slashy potential within. So my challenge is this: Sybok was sent away from Vulcan for corrupting Spock when Spock was perhaps a little too young for such things (after all, t’hy’la means brother as well as lover, right?). Spock learned the lesson that only women are acceptable – which is why he turned Jim down at the end of the 5-year mission (in spite of his true feelings) and went to Gol. This broke Jim’s heart quite seriously, but Spock never realised this and Bones never knew what happened. When Spock later died and went through fal tor pan, Jim’s offer was one of the things he forgot. So at STV when they go camping, Spock is all BFF with Jim and acting like the offer never happened. Jim is going along with it, but is suffering from long-term unrequited love. When Sybok comes back, Spock has to deal with all the memories that pop up. Then Sybok doesn’t give Jim a choice about facing his pain, and Spock and Bones find out what’s been wrong with Jim for years. When they get to the planet and are attacked by the crazy god creature and Jim gets left behind, Spock is determined to get Jim back and have another chance. He forces the Klingons to help. “Not in front of the Klingons” is an unmistakeable come-on, and Jim and Spock later explore the final frontier together to their complete satisfaction. Bonus points for: Soft-hearted curmudgeonly Bones Dancing Uhura “I know this ship like the back of my hand” *thunk* Any takers?
