#so it's very amusing to me to think about him unintentionally making spock's life miserable

I love the trope of Jim deciding to seduce Spock, but I also think a lot about an oblivious Jim who truly doesn't think Spock would ever be interested in him, but who's every action drives Spock closer and closer to an emotional meltdown

Spock suffering over the green shirt, the red tights, the dress uniform

Jim casually geeking out over some theory or scientific principle and Spock smitten over how smart he is

Spock abruptly having reports to analyze after Jim gets caramel sauce on his hands and sucks it off his fingers

Jim just being Jim: compassionate and brave and selfless and determined and kind, and he'll just smile at Spock and Spock knows it's a lost cause

So many "Jim wanting Spock and doing his best to get him" stories. It's true that reversals are rarer... or that we see Jim's perspective and Spock is going all out in repressed Vulcan fashion and it doesn't even register as flirting for Jim. So the audience doesn't know, unless tropes about hands are involved, how brazen Spock is being until a big reveal moment.

Time to do some deep dive searching for Spock POV fics.
