Unfortunately, I don’t actually remember the poem. But I want you to know that I would recite it if I could.”
Nyota looks out at the horizon, which is blank and empty in every direction, and feels the rocking of the sea under their little boat. It’s not a good feeling.
“I may throw up on you,” she tells him. “Also, why would you recite a poem to me?”
“Weeell…” he says, leaning against the side of the boat and trailing a finger in the water, “it just struck me as a little more classy than just saying, ‘Hey, we’re about to die, let’s get it on.’”
That's right, it's a twenty-seven times fic. Hilarious, cute, and brilliantly written. When it sometimes seems like hardly anyone sees the appeal of this unlikely but potentially very dynamic ship, and even other people who do ship K/U don't find the same appeal in it that I do, this fic somehow captures everything I love about them, including their relationships with Spock being a somewhat inextricable part of theirs in a weird way.
