Do you think Spones have a safe word for their little arguments to make sure they don’t go too far?

My dad was watching Star Trek so I decided to tell him about a bit of an interview I'd seen with William Shatner about what he thinks of the Kirk/Spock shippers and before I could even tell him the part I wanted to he started talking about how that ship was ridiculous and there was no chemistry at all and I thought "ah, he's an old straight man, of course he doesn't see it" but then he started talking about how Spock/Bones is a much better ship because with the way they were always snarking at each other its sort of like "get a room already" and now I have to live with the fact that my father ships Spock/Bones to the point of thinking that the infinitely more popular Kirk/Spock pales in comparison

my absolute favourite thing about the kirk and spock dynamic is that the whole time you’re watching the show spock is gaslighting you into thinking that kirk is this loose canon and spock is paragon of logic keeping his captain on the straight and narrow when its very clearly the other way round. aside from being turned on by everyone and fighting like an old-timey boxer…. kirk is just like.. quite a logical, stable guy. like yeah he rules with his emotions but he’s rarely reckless or erratic, even in situations of immense pressure he’s always calm and measured. sure kirk is unhinged and insane, but we knew that right off the bat. spock on the other hand tries to hide how insanely balls to the walls crazy he is by standing next to jim and hiding all his derangement with logic. i think the reason bones beefs with spock so much because he is the only one who has noticed that spock is an absolutely unhinged individual. (jim is too busy doodling <3 mr jim spock <3 all over his briefings to notice)

Thinkin’ about lonely Spock Prime seeking out AOS McCoy at a Starfleet event in San Francisco and spending the evening with him...as Ambassador Selek.
Spock Prime knows how his McCoy liked to be treated, and it turns out that this McCoy is no different. McCoy is wined and dined, lured closer and closer by ‘Selek’s endless wit and banter, and the compliments didn’t hurt either. McCoy hadn’t felt love at first sight since he met Joss and Clay back in middle school, but this handsome stranger had him wrapped around his finger. When his probability of success was at its highest, Spock Prime ended the night by propositioning McCoy, who happily accepted.
Spock Prime takes McCoy to his nearby apartment at the Vulcan embassy, and McCoy remarks offhandedly that the room reminded him of his ‘Vulcan coworker.’ Spock Prime feels a burning jealousy that his counterpart had McCoy right here with him, unclaimed. Spock Prime scent marks him to hell and back without realizing it, marks him like he was in the throes of Pon Farr, with McCoy loving every second of it. McCoy calls out sick the next day—hard to doctor when you can’t sit or walk comfortably—and they spend the day together, with Spock Prime pampering McCoy until the human is fully in love with him.
When McCoy goes back to work, Spock knows. His counterpart’s scent is so deeply embedded in McCoy that he knows the second he enters the room. But he also knows that McCoy doesn’t know Ambassador Selek’s true identity, and he’s not allowed to know. McCoy can know of Spock Prime’s existence but not his identity. Spock is upset for McCoy, or at least that’s what he tells himself when he confronts his counterpart with barely concealed disdain.
Spock Prime is remorseful and apologetic, seeing now, without the intoxicating replica of his former bondmate nearby, that his actions were made in error. He promises young Spock he will no longer interfere with the doctor, and Spock presses him for his logic. Why McCoy? Why, out of everyone there that evening, was he chosen? “Because I enjoy his company most.”
Spock is confused by his counterpart’s statement but is given no more information.
They return to their routine, take off for another mission, and all is well...until Spock catches a despondent McCoy in the hall outside their adjoining quarters as he leaves for his shift. While the doctor was normally emotional, this behavior was different.
As was his openness when he asked Spock: “Do Vulcans normally give you the best date of your life and then ignore all attempts at communication?”
Spock is taken aback, unsure of how to respond. “It is atypical behavior, as it is for humans,” he decides as the diplomatic approach. “You should focus on the mission at hand, as he is not worth your attention.”
“How did you know I was with a man?”
Spock has no answer, only an order. “You are late to your shift, please report to sickbay as scheduled.”
😘
