On Any Given Day by mattmetzgerstarstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 99]
Summary:

When Spock is seriously wounded, his life is promptly destroyed - and Jim, time and time again, makes decisions that will shatter the both of them. Love and fate is not enough to hold two people together: sometimes, stupidity and fear can drive them apart just as hard.

rn

And sometimes, McCoy gets the urge to knock heads together for this.

rn

A five-part series, currently in progress, with heavy angst warnings. The author takes no responsibility for tissue or anger management therapy expenses.

iUni would lOve to see an update if not on the archive on a website of your choosing. Your writing is clear and pithy quite unique in its style and I would love to learn how you get Spock out of this situation. It is difficult not having parts four and five of this fic. In terms of learning writing craft having good examples of style is useful.

Nreviews all your Fics. This is a very different take on the usual a relationship which was difficult and a Kirk who had to learn to be persistent rather than wham bam. It sort of holds you on the edge, will they won't they?

I love the aching masculinity and the way they show each other the depths of

who they are. The fear of being permanent and that fear realised. The point at

which both understand all blocks internal and external have gone and they choose each 

other above all is simple powerful.

K/S at its pinnacle

Old school K/S skilled writing and a simple single plot premise well executed. One one side you consider what happened next on the other to know should detract from the quality of this fic. A story worth re reading 



Author's Response:

Just goes to show that if you stick around long enough, you, too will become Old School. :D

Thanks so much for reading this, and for your thoughtful comment. I'm glad you liked it!

It would mix up a thousand fics but this answer to the challenge has a lot of merit as a bounce off point. Rather than fluffy it has a certain sense about it that seems so Kirk/Spockian. Without TMP it could so easily be the main deal.

Certainly if not reality it was a shared suppressed dream. Shame that it led Kirk to Lori and Spock to Gol rather than the optimum career that Spock envisaged in logic. But then love is never logical and its denial even less so

there is so much unsaid about the before time TMP I mean. however I've never got my head round the idea that Spock  as a member of a race with deep feelings would not logically have spoken of them. 

Kirk didn't know where Spock had gone but he did know that he had to go. He also lost the a Enterprise as well as a Spock. Getting her back didn't fill the hole. So at the start if TMP we have the reverse of your fic. Jim opening his arms but Spock dare not trust dare not stop being Vulcan.

you paint a story of the future of two people handing in the air so well. For these two the fate of worlds is easy the fate of themselves so hard to deal with

Thank you so much. I love that TMP gave us such rich material to work with! Thank you for reading. <3

This is a beautifully told story and very plausible. the strong characterisation and the decision making process fit well with two emotionally compromised people. It seems almost Zarabethian

How I missed reviewing first time round I don't know.  what strikes me is how good a standard of short story writing this is. First of all a plot line that leaves the why are they there, where are they now in mid air. This leaves us to focus on the characters And the theme of sex versus love. This comes over in the absolute security Kirk and Spock have in their relationship's grounds.

This feature of the archive suddenly drops the most amazing gems into one's lap. I was suddenly so scared it was all going to back fire that the final twist was a joy to read. Sometimes plots are hard turning them into a story and doing it well is even harder. Few writers do it so consistently well as EM.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much! And while it may instll some trepidation, I'm glad the final plot twist wasn't apparent. Again, thanks, for reading and for your really lovely comments.
