idk if I ever talked about it here but I do love the end of Bread and Circuses novelization

"Doctor . . . the next time I have an opportunity to save your life—" "—you'll do the logical thing, save me." McCoy smiled. "Comforting to know that, Spock." Something good had happened between the two, Kirk thought. He was glad. Both men were dear to him. It was high time they admitted how dear they were to each other. Though he knew how little their sparring meant, it was a waste of time that could be better spent. On the other hand, who knew? There were many ways of revealing affection. (James Blish - Star Trek)

because the argument was so very important for spock and mccoy as characters and for their relationship and it’s nice that the novelization acknowledges it via kirk’s observation

but also that exchange between spock and mccoy is <3

#tos nonsense #a part of my fic from jim's pov is inspired by this paragraph from jim's pov #will the fic ever be written? who knows. but i hope so #tags added today: this has been in my drafts for so long and i remembered it should be there #and i wanted to post it to be like look this paragraph was my inspiration for the fic i posted the other day but lol i already had those #tags written :D #anyway since i reblogged a b&c post today i feel like thematically this fits #spones #(for archiving purposes)#but also because it's very spones-y anyway #mccoy also thinks how fond he is of spock during the argument in the brig scene #but I think that line is circulating tumblr... it's this part that i haven't really seen around
