Why this must be read:

This world is going to end. And the Enterprise is the only thing that can save it. It only takes the end of the world for Kirk and Spock to have a conversation. I love this fic, but it’s hard for me to describe because I’d hate to spoil it. Just know that it’s awesome, and if the  movie had resulted in a TV series, this would have made an excellent episode - even with (most, not all) of the slashy bits parts left intact.
 

Jim chuckles. “Damn, Spock, why’d it take us this long to talk? Really talk?”

“We do not discuss such matters among Vulcans,” Spock says, but he inclines his head slightly, and Kirk knows that he’s enjoying this, this sadistic, no, masochistic burst of truth, flooding out like a burst dam, like a damn geyser.

“How much longer?” he whispers. More. He wants more of this. It’s fucking exhilarating, like jumping off a cliff with no idea how far you have to fall.

“Forty-five minutes, 30 seconds, 5 milliseconds.”

Kirk lets out a long whistle. “Halfway there.”

“Yes.” 

For a moment, Kirk thinks he might be realizing just how close they are to death. To nothingness. To losing. James T. Kirk does not lose.
