can we go beyond the decker/ilia & kirk/spock parallels? like decker and kirk bonding over their so's being emotionally distant and physically present in a way that hurts a lot. and ilia and spock contemplating their strangely captivating humans. idk there's more but yeah.
.........I want a fic about an awkward encounter between Jim and Decker in the lift that addresses these points. And I never knew how badly I wanted it until now.
