This one may have you out with pitchforks! LOL

Spock stood to the side, well away from his captain who was leaning in close to speak with Lieutenant Carol Marcus. He was not part of the conversation, and though he could have likely heard if he strained to do so, Spock chose not to eavesdrop.
Marcus appeared to be upset, though she was not crying. After a moment, she shook her head, briefly put her hand on the captain’s arm, then turned and fled in the opposite direction.
Spock had been surprised to see her. She had abruptly aborted her intention to be on the Enterprise after just a few short weeks. There had been rumors, plenty of them, that she had engaged in an ill-fated romance with Captain Kirk. Spock paid little heed to rumors, whether they were true or false.
He hadn’t expected to see her again, so had been surprised when she appeared on Yorktown during their leave to repair, rebuild more accurately, the Enterprise. He was aware that she had monopolized much of their captain’s time since then.
“Uh oh. That didn’t look good.”
He glanced at Nyota who stood next to him.
“You should go see if he’s okay.”
“He appears to be fine, Nyota.”
She sighed. “Spock, that looked intense. Has he told you? Was she intending to get back together with him?”
Spock bristled at this. “He has not said so. It would be illogical for her to believe that she can…”
“Spock. Go and talk to him.”
“But you and I were on our way for tea.”
She rolled her eyes. “With him. Before she stopped him. I can still meet you guys there.” She squeezed his arm. “It’s your duty.”
“As first officer?”
“No. His boyfriend.” She pushed him toward the captain, who still stood there, stiffly, his back to them.
Spock exhaled and approached. “Captain, are you well?”
Jim looked at him, eyes so tumultuous they looked nearly black in his face. “We have a son.”

So Captain Janeway mentioned Carol Marcus in last night’s episode of Voyager. I hadn’t caught that before. She only mentioned Genesis though, nothing personal.
So YOU did!
I guess if Spock is only boyfriend, not husband, the royal we there meant Carol and Jim, not Carol and Jim and Spock.
Spock is so strong to not give in to rumors of any kind. Humans would definitely be less able to do that. My ear would certainly be tuned in for that conversation.
Great fic but yeah, punch in the gut on a Friday morning.
Humans. It’s ALWAYS something.

Yep but at least Spock does know what Jim had with Carol is past, even if it did create a child between them!

OMG, Ivan are you seriously just gonna leave this here? We need more! What does Spock say to this, and what did Carol say?! I’m imagining it’s the same conversation as Carol must have had with TOS Jim! Arghhhhh! Like you’re killing me. Jim just had the proverbial rug pulled out from under him, not to mention what must be going through Spock’s mind about the repercussions of the news his boyfriend just got. 💚❤️🖖

From tumblr mylochka :
Another milestone! I’ve been away from the blog working on a non-Trek art project, but to celebrate, for the next 24 hours (This is 2pm EST 1/27/2020) any of my followers can request ONE safe-for-work Trek image and I’ll do my best to get it done! (The simpler the request, the more likely it is to be fulfilled.) Thanks for your support, dear friends!

Yeah I had seen that I think in January but as far as I know she never did any of those works that people requested, so yeah, Anyway, I am grateful for what she did for me but I’m guessing she has moved on to other things. It happens!
