So I apologize that this is so short, especially since I’m including it in @greenskyoverme‘s Academy-era series, but I also think it’s just perfect as it is, so I hope you all enjoy.
CLAIMED PROMPT: “I love you. I don’t always understand you, but I love you.” - Janet Gurtler, I’m Not Her
The Reconcilliation (An “Academy Days” Story) -
The morning after Spock’s second chance, Nyota wakes up and has a realization
She was rather surprised by her actions. It had only meant to be dinner, a reacquainting of sorts, but here she was the morning afterward, asleep in Spock’s bed. Fully clothed, yes, but still, they had spent the night not just in the same room, but in the same bed.
She loved him, she did, and there was no denying it now.
As a surprise, he was there. Normally, before, there hadn’t been many times where she was waking up to him staying in the bed; he didn’t really need to sleep, and therefore he was usually awake, dealing with Academy things while she slept. Maybe that had been part of the rift between them, when it had come more into focus that she was a student and he was a teacher.
But this morning, it didn’t really seem to matter anymore.
She felt his fingers running across her arm, his touch light, and she fell even more in love if that was possible. Spock never casually touched her. She knew about Vulcan physiology, about what touching others meant, and even though he was half-human it was still something that he tended to avoid. But here he was, just letting his fingers trail along her skin.
She never always understood him, understood them, but there was love there between them. She was sure of it now.
“You’re awake,” he said quietly, his mouth near her ear.
“How do you always know?” she teased.
“Touch telepathy,” he said. “Your thoughts are…whirring this morning, suddenly.”
“It’s because I think I’ve realized just how much I love you,” she said, placing her hand over his to still it. “And you love me.”
“I do,” he said.
“Good.” She snuggled against him more, not to tease him into taking things further, but because she liked him next to her. His skin was a different temperature than hers normally and the contrast was something she had gotten used to over time. Something she had missed when she was separated from him. After a moment she let her fingers squeeze between his and he gripped her hand tightly, running his thumbs over her knuckles.
“You are quite important to me,” he said.
“I know.”
“And I have missed you while we have been apart.”
“I’ve missed you too,” she said. “More than I realized. You mean so much to me, Spock.”
“As you mean much to me, Nyota.” He was quiet for a moment. “Will we…can we agree not to be apart again?”
“I think that’s something I can agree to,” she said, squeezing his hand. After a moment he moved his arm so that he was holding her against him, their hands still pressed together, and she realized she had not been as happy as she was in this very moment in a long, long time. And she hoped nothing changed that.

“I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, on his wife Zelda.
Mwuahaha. I had so much fun with this one, I really did. Just some sweet fluff for you guys.
THE PROMPT: “23 - Spuhura - ‘your dog is fine, but here’s my number anyway’ veterinarian au”
We’ve Been Told About You And Your Dog -
The veterinarian clinic at the end of his block has changed ownership and once he finds out the owner is female, Spock worries he’ll have to change veterinarians, as I-Chaya is not particularly…nice…to female vets. But one look at Dr. Uhura and he’s smitten…and he’s not the only one.
He had noticed that there was a new doctor at the veterinary clinic on the corner, There was a new sign in front with a new doctor’s name, and the awning had changed from a red and white stripe to one that was a nice sky blue. The font on the information painted on the window had gone from a simple block print to something that resembled a cursive font.
All in all, he suspected the veterinary clinic had undergone a management change and the new occupant was a woman.
I-Chaya was not going to be happy. I-Chaya, for some reason unfathomable to him, disliked female veterinarians. He had been perfectly happy with Dr. Pike, so this was going to be…interesting.
He would whimper every time a woman dealt with him. Sometimes he would snap and once he drew blood. Selkhats were a very volatile breed, being closer to cats in their temperament than dogs, but I-Chaya was even worse than most of his breed. He was also old and grumpy, and he felt he should warn the good doctor that he may have to take his canine elsewhere.
And then he saw her and was immediately smitten.
She was kneeling in front of the clinic office, trying to unlock the door, when a young girl came holding a tiny kitten. He had exceptionally good hearing and heard the little girl say she found the kitty outside her house and she looked hurt and could she fix her? And the doctor gave the little girl a smile and said as soon as she unlocked the door the kitten would be her first patient, and what was the kitty’s name? He missed the rest of the conversation as the woman stood to unlock the door and usher her tiny patient and her tiny owner in, but he knew then this was a woman with a heart of gold.
And it helped that she was attractive. Slender but muscular, with long black hair pulled into a sleek ponytail and very bright brown eyes. He had never been a person who believed in love at first sight, though perhaps attraction might be considerable, and he was certainly attracted to the new doctor.
He went to his apartment and got his dog, snapping the leash on and walking him the short distance away to the clinic. There was a woman he did not recognize sitting at the desk, her blonde hair cut in a long bob, and she wore a blue dress with a gleam in her eye. “Do you have an appointment?” she asked, and he noticed she had a British accent.
He shook his head. “I think something is wrong with my dog.
“Well, Dr. Uhura has a patient in now, but she’s open this morning. I can mark you down, Mr…”
“Spock,” he replied.
Her smile dimmed as she nodded. “Ah. You’re I-Chaya’s owner. We were warned about you.” She made a note on her bad and then motioned to the chair. “She’ll be with you soon.”
He sat and began a nervous tapping on the floor while I-Chaya laid down at his feet. He seemed calm and Spock took in the changes as they waited. It seemed to be a much more calm inducing environment, now with many more tones of blue and may pictures of other animals all over the black. There was an area for children to play, and it seemed much more homeish than it had before.
Some time later the door opened and Dr. Uhura came out with the little girl. “So just make sure she takes her medicine, and then bring her back for her shots in two weeks,” the woman said. “Can you remember that?”
The little girl nodded. “Two weeks!” Then she frowned. “Is this going to cost me money?”
“As long as you keep taking good care of this kitty we’ll work something out. Maybe you can help us in the office.” The little girl beamed and then hugged her kitten close, walking away with one last wave before the veterinarian turned to Spock. “Are you my next patient?”
“This is Mr. Spock,” the blonde woman said. “His owner.”
Dr. Uhura’s eyes went wide. “Ah. Well, let’s see how much blood I need to donate to the Great I-Chaya today for a check-up.” Then she smiled at Spock and winked before moving to the side so they could enter the exam room.
I-Chaya perked up at the sound of Dr. Uhura’s voice, and seemed to like the way he was referred to. He pranced into the office and then sat back on his back paws, looking up expectantly at Dr. Uhura as she shut the door behind them. “He seems…lethargic,” Spock said, as I-Chaya began wagging his tail excitedly.
“Oh, is he?” Dr. Uhura said with a smile. She knelt down in front of I-Chaya and stuck out her hand for him to sniff. He did, moving all around her hand and arm, and then licked her. “No bites so far. I think we’re on our way to becoming good friend, aren’t we, Great I-Chaya?” I-Chaya sniffed and then ducked his head under her hand for her to pet. Dr. Uhura gave him so loving scratches at the head and around the neck, and then she gently picked him up to set on the table. “Oh yeah. We’re going to be best buddies.”
Spock watched as Nyota examined his dog. After a little while she turned to him. “He seems to like you,” he replied.
“I like him, too,” she said with a wide smile. “He seems to be fine. Not lethargy I can see, but his joints seem a little stiff so we’ll work on that. It’s nothing to worry about now, but when it gets colder it might be harder to get him to cooperate on walks.” She went to a pad and wrote something down and handed it to him. “If you need help taking him out, call me. I think I can convince him to cooperate.”
“How so?”
“Well, he likes me,” she said, turning back to I-Chaya and ruffling his fur. “And…I heard interesting things about the two of you. I’d like to get to know you better.”
“I would like that too,” Spock said, blushing slightly. “So I may call you?”
“I hope you do,” she said with a nod. And he knew, then, that the next time I-Chaya and he went on a walk? He would hopefully have company.
It’s funny but imagine if everytime Jim and Bones see Uhura being sad, or stressed, or just not in her usual sunny mood, they turn to Spock and are like ‘what’d you do?’ because, nothing personal dude, it must be something you did because Nyota is right even when she’s wrong so .. - and 90% of the time she is just having a bad day but poor Spock thinks about the possibility it’s his fault, and is a sad™ for all the remaining hours he has to wait before he can be with her alone and find out, and he keeps staring at her when she works at her station and omg she so silent and doesn’t look at me WHY.. and then their shift ends and she looks at him and SMILES at HIM when she catches him staring a bit…and he’s like
Person B shattering their calm composure as they thoroughly check Person A for injuries. Person A can’t even respond with “I’m fine/They didn’t hurt me” because they’re too distracted watching B fuss.
Bonus: it’s in front of all their friends and they’re stunned into silence too
