Summary:
Thirty years ago, the war between Earth and Vulcan ended with a shaky armistice. Now, Earth's monarchs hope their volatile neighbors might formalize peace and ally with them against a growing Klingon threat. But Vulcans are fiercely independent, and are currently fighting their own war against a rebel insurgence. An alliance remains unlikely.
In spite of this, the two planets' sons, Prince James Kirk of Earth and Dorli Kahr-lan Spock of Vulcan, find themselves passionately drawn toward each other the moment they meet, and their own private alliance could change everything.
*Fic is complete, and I am many chapters ahead on revisions, so updates will happen weekly, either Friday night or Saturday morning*
Phew!! Here is chapter 7! This was a tough edit, but not NEARLY as hard as chapter 8, ahaha! Anyway, I hope you like this one! Really excited to share it with you! Also, if you were disappointed by last week’s interlude, I can tell you that we are definitely back to our 15k-word chapters. This is a BIG one.
