Surprise! Today actually concludes our September story, I Knew You Before. I’m sorry to say that means no flash for Friday but look for this story to appear soon on AO3.
October 03 begins with a Vanek flash!
But as Spock watched Jim open the pizza box to remove a slice, Spock knew there was yet more he ought to bring up with Jim.
“There is something else.”
Jim frowned as he held up the slice to his mouth. “Can I eat this while you tell me?”
“Yes. Of course. I apologize. I know you are hungry.” Spock pursed his lips. He walked into the kitchen himself and prepared to make himself some rice and a pot of tea. The pizza was, of course, for Jim. He did not eat pizza himself.
Jim chewed and nodded. “When you’re ready, come sit at the table with me.”
He took the pizza box to the table and sat eating while he waited for Spock.
A short time later, Spock brought his tea and rice to join Jim.
“Well?” Jim was smiling.
It occurred to Spock that Jim was a very amiable mate.
“I did not mention this on Vulcan when you were there as I did not wish to overwhelm you.”
“I was already pretty overwhelmed.”
“Mm. I came on strong.”
“You did. But it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle. You never forced me.”
“Perhaps your aunt would not agree.”
“When we invite her to the wedding she’ll see how perfect you are for me.” Jim winked and he was smiling again.
Spock fought the answering smile. He was Vulcan after all.
“We are…T’hy’la.”
“Are we?”
Spock frowned. “Do you know what that is, Jim?”
“I know Vulcan. Gilda taught me before we went to stay there. You think that’s us?”
Spock would never get over how surprising Jim was. He nodded. “I believe so. A Vulcan priestess would need to examine our minds together to fully confirm my suspicion but everything that is between us convinces me that we are.”
“Vulcan soulmates.” Jim grinned. “I think that sounds great.”
“You do?”
“Look, I mean, even with the T’Pring thing, you deciding on me at that exact moment, her being there at that exact moment, you coming to me, me agreeing, doesn’t it seem…meant to be?” Jim sighed. “I don’t know, Spock. Even then I couldn’t quite shake this feeling that I knew you before.”
“Knew me?”
“Yeah. I mean we’d never met before yet…it felt like we had. Like I’ve always known you. In another universe, maybe? I don’t know. But my heart knew yours. Even then. If that’s T’hy’la, I have to welcome it.”
Spock blinked and he felt warmth blossom all over. He held his fingers toward Jim and was gratified when Jim immediately touched his fingers to Spock’s.
“Taluhk Nash-Veh K’dular.”
Jim leaned in for a Human kiss. “Ashau Nash-Veh Tu.”
Look for more of these two in the future! A sequel will be coming where we will even get to meet Aunt Gilda!

OMG! I was so sad to hear that this Was the final installment. But then thrilled to hear that there would be a sequel. Yippee!!
Also glad to hear that Vanik is going to appear soon. When you asked for Advent flashes the first thing that I thought about was Vanek. But with no particular plot in mind for Advent 2022 !
This update was perfect! Love the easy relationship that exists between them. Words escape me to describe it! The entire conversation about T’hy’la and their declarations of love are just so romantic.
❤️💚😘🖖

Oh! I was so….grrrrrr no Friday update. I was getting spoiled again after August’s Mondays only. So I’ve enjoyed September SO MUCH. But no final Friday??? grrrrrr
And then the dark clouds rolled away and there was beautiful music everywhere! because:
I loved this Cadet fic/month. I love how it ended, instead of Spock stomping that guy into next year, with perhaps a boot print on his FACE. I wanted that, yeah, but this was so much better. No need to feed my dark side!
Thank you so much!! And I can’t wait till MONDAY VANEK!!!
