Why this must be read:

Spock accompanies his parents to an Earth resort where Jim Kirk is a dancer. Dirty Dancing redux. Does what it says on the tin, and so much more. This fic was part of 2009's Star Trek Big Bang, and I was blown away when I read it (multiple times, now). [livejournal.com profile] garryowen does a wonderful job of capturing Spock's conflicted and complicated emotional state, and she writes a romance that is neither sappy nor sugary sweet. It's the premise of Dirty Dancing but completely in the Star Trek universe, and the author does a great job of updating the plot and staying true to its bones without losing any of the Trek identity. If you were wavering about reading this fic because of its Dirty Dancing ties, I highly advise you to give it a chance.
