Nyota always knew she would end up his ex girlfriend but she fell in love with Spock anyway.  A smart woman knows when it's time to let go.  The obligatory S/U breakup story but without the bitterness.

Pairings: Disintegrating S/U and pre-friendship or pre-slash K/S (With those two, I really can’t tell the difference if sex is not involved.  Does it really matter anyway?  They are already starting to fall in love with each other; I am just not sure in what way.  Their relationship is complicated.)

This is a sequel (with permsision) to Miss Car's excellent "Yellow Roses for Her, Orange Roses for Jim." The author did not feel comfortable in doing an NC-17 final scene (apparently she doesn't like to make her voice-recognition software blush), and since I have a fertile imagination and no shame, I volunteered to pick up the burden. Enjoy.
