Summary
“I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”
“Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.
“I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”
”Father,” she corrects.
”Your father,” he agrees.
*****
An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).
Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)

Summary
Within the inimitable Spirk fic Ten Degrees Below Zero by Kianspo, Jim has to go through an offscreen "ethics seminar" assigned to him by Captain Pike. He must endure Spock dying gruesome deaths via simulation to prove their emotional compromise will not detract from his captaining abilities. The last simulation leaves Jim totally wrecked, and his defeated whisper to Spock of "I passed" absolutely destroyed me.
Ever since I finished the fic, I haven't been able to stop wondering—why was that last simulation even worse than the ones that came before? What finally let Jim "pass" this test? So, this fic is my answer to those questions. And my excuse to put Jim through the angst of watching Spock continually die.
