Should I stop posting my 100 word story? Is it too depressing for Spirk? Too reality? I admit I wanted to address Alzheimers and senility with age for personal reasons, and I thought Jim as a fully human being would be more susceptible to it than Spock and I loved the idea of hurt/comfort from Spock to Jim in old age. This is a Jim who lived longer than his counterpart did. And I will confess right now that this is the Jim and Spock from my Bond Between Them Series which will later involve their son, Suvoc, whom they adopted, if you will recall.
But it occurs to me that this isn’t going to be a happy ending in the sense that suddenly Jim doesn’t have these issues, and so with that in mind, is it too much? Should I not be going there? What do you think?

I honestly am enjoying that one very much. I mean, it is sad 😢 but it gives me a bittersweet feeling. When I say I don’t like sad endings, I mean the kinds in which they don’t end up together at all. This one, they’ve had a life together, so even if it gets sad in the end, I’ll be okay.
Besides, seeing the way Spock cares about Jim like that feels really nice.

I get why you’d ask the question. And I can see why.
But the story is so powerful. No they don’t get a traditional happy ending. But their love, their bond, Spock caring for Jim….that’s a happy ending all on its own, you know?

I love this story and the most important thing is that there’s so
much love there… the only plot I would find difficult to accept is the one in which Jim & Spock go
separate ways. Which is not the case! and as for Alzheimer’s…. unfortunately it’s one of modern days’ harshest realities. It’s sad, yes. But it’s part of life. So, I personally like very much the idea of your touching this subject

Quoting from the latest update of one of your AO3 stories:
“ “How you can even doubt that is beyond me…”
Your stories can be rather powerful (often they are) but that’s what make them so realistic, engaging, touching etc.. good writing (ok.. fairy tales don’t count) doesn’t shy away from the life’ realities

I love seeing the level of devotion that Spock has for Jim. Jim needs Spock for his emotional well-being and Spock is there to support and reassure him. I love seeing their unconditional love… I just hope Jim doesn’t get to the point where he rejects Spock. That would be very sad. That being said, this is a lovely story of love for better or for worse. ❤
Who knows, maybe there are treatment options available to them that we don't have in the 21st century.. There is always hope. ❤
