Third Nyota Uhura headcanon

When Nyota comes to terms with her sexuality in AOS (Fight me, that’s the only au world where that will ever happen), she decides to cut her hair  and redefine herself. Therefor, she has short hair. A thriving bisexual woman on the Enterprise with help from Christine embracing it.  A entirely new person serving on the Enterprise comfortable with who they are.

Her hair grows long again, and curly, but she doesn't mind except for that she has to use a shampoo type to straighten it. She decides to go 'screw it, I am not straight' and her hair reflects herself. And the hair makes Nyota looks drop dead gorgeous,adorable, and cute. Christine faints into M’Benga’s arms when Nyota comes in one day to sick bay with her mess of curls. Janice is head over heels. Romaine likes it. Charlene Masters is so “I love your hair”. So does T’Pring who likes to stroke it with Nyota’s permission. Jim loves it, Spock approves telling his t’hy’la that “Her hair has always been curly, ashalik nash-veh.” (my darling), McCoy tells of her of some shampoo that works for curly hair when it is knotted  and it involves pouring a specific type of alcohol on to it (even though the type of alcohol is illegal and she goes “????? why do you know this?” and McCoy is all “I have friends with curly, lon’ hair who get their hair stuck a lot”), Scotty cheers her on, and Pavel asks which shampoo she has been using this entire time because he loves her hair.  When they go into deep space for the five year mission, Nyota decides to straighten her hair  but keeps it curly during the weekends. T’Pring and Christine are so proud of their girlfriend. They could die if she gets even cuter. And McCoy wouldn’t know their cause of death.

Inspired by this headline. No, this isn’t how ACLU’s team works but the idea of a team . . . Jumped to this.

Imagine an au were instead of commanding  a ship, Jim Kirk commands a team called the Rapid Response Team  aka RRT. Star Fleet  is this agency who helps people no matter what they are in and they operate in and outside of the law through questionable, doubtfully legal standpoint. Let it be Vulcan, Qo’nos, Andoria, Romulus, and so on. Instead, there’s another agency called NSEA (National Space Exploration) in star fleet’s place. McCoy is the medic of the crew. Spock, a legal alien immigrant, helps them acting as their lawyer. Hikaru Sulu and Pavel Chekov deal with getting directions to the immigrants and finding a place that can take in the immigrants. Montgomery Scott is their residential drunken scottish man who shouts at the radio more than lately due to the new president of the planet. Scotty is a brilliant mechanic. Scotty finds them vehicles to take. And often than not fixes them because they bother him that they are not fixed. Nyota Uhura acts as a translator for Jim to the immigrants. Jim does the breaking and entering  with help from men in obligatory red shirts. The red shirts risk their lives to help the self dubbed the RRT Enterprise crew of Earth. It’s Jim who makes the plans while Spock determines if it is logical enough to pull. McCoy checks every immigrant that boards their very long vehicle to make sure if they are okay or not. Ben Sulu promotes them in various other ways to help immigrants such as getting clothes, food, and giving their children toys representing marine life. He is also the partner of  Hikaru and their four year old daughter Demora loves to play with her friend Joanna. Joanna is the little girl who sometimes tags along because she wants to help. She stays on the bus most of the time at the front under Hikaru’s watchful eye. Christine Chapel acts as a nurse with Doctor Geoffrey M’Benga at the HeadQuarters for the immigrants to be taken care of or moved appropriately by another team. Christine and Nyota are married lesbians who fret and worry abut each other every day, they’re in love as hell when off duty. Spock poses the legal challenges for the families to keep the officials wrapped up while the immigrants are being rescued. Scotty has a protoge named Jaylah, a new immigrant patrol cop who likes to fix things, under his wing to take his place if the authorities ever find out his involvement. Spock has his eye on T’Pring for the same matter because of her skill in court to make the jury side on her and everyone doesn’t suspect her in the event that he is sent to prison for a long time. Or if he unexpectedly is killed. He has it all arranged so if he falls the dominoes begin falling. Everyone knows T’Pring as she sometimes bust them out some minor court cases that don’t relate to their quests. Nyota and Christine are blushing when they see her which is not often. Jocelyn is a dirty cop who informs McCoy when to hurry who then tells the captain of this team. Jim feels like he will die alone, he has always known it, without his team around him or his husbands. When Jim and McCoy are sick, Nyota and Christine step up to the plate. They do a excellent job.  Jim gives reports to the agency and everyone in their team part of the operation has to make a report except for Scotty if it does not relate to the vehicle breaking down mid way.

Ghost Spock au

Since people have written ghost!Jim and Ghost!McCoy stories, I decided to write a star trek au posted based around the  “what if Spock was a ghost?” idea. This will break your heart, put it back together again, break it, put it back, and break it even some more, as usual from me .

This au begins in 2264 during a shore leave on Vulcan to visit his mother.  Suddenly, there is some explosion that vaporizes every Vulcan around including human, animal, and insect into a pile of ashes. The katras of long gone Vulcans are the only remains of vulcan society except for the Vulcans who are away on federation approved colonies or in space. Spock and many Vulcans at first don’t realize they are dead carrying on their usual  activities. Spock returns to the Enterprise only to discover no one is  talking to him and someone else is at his station. Spock is confused until he attempts to touch the shoulder of a crew member and his hand slides through them  as though they are transparent. Spock then overhears  word about Vulcan. They are not transparent but he is. Spock is dead. Spock  is puzzled at first trying to wrap his head around this. He thinks about Vulcan, THEN HE ARRIVES THERE SIMPLY BY THINKING ABOUT IT. Spock goes on to meet with his mother. His father was away during his shore leave. His mother is  unaware of her death. Star Fleet officers are in radiation suits  searching for any survivors which is deeply concerning to the crowds of Vulcans seeing them entering their homes alarmingly without  ringing the doorbell. Spock informs her that she is dead and she must move on. They have a  unusual discussion where Amanda refuses to believe him and is concerned of his mental health. Amanda and  Spock see what the cities look like a battle worn scenery. Amanda laments that she did not give her son the vokaya necklace which is in the hands of Sarek. Spock informs her that he will be joining her shortly. Amanda goes into the afterlife.

Sarek is heartbroken. He is part of a endangered species. Sarek quickly begins planning for another marriage. Sarek’s grief is unique. He has felt the deaths of Vulcanians and his son and his wife. All of which were quick and painless. Sarek is in the what if stage and logic is not a good friend. Spock returns to the Enterprise to see a Andorian assigned to his station Spock decides to remain until this five year mission is up since he had signed in to remain.  Eventually, Pike leaves and is replaced by Captain Kirk.  Spock falls in love with Jim. Doctor Boyce and Jim briefly work together until the man retires leaving Star Fleet being replaced by Doctor Leonard McCoy. McCoy and Jim fall in love at first sight. Spock is pinning both Jim and McCoy. He makes himself useful by straying the halls, visiting sick bay to see how the doctor is doing, going to the rec room sometimes the observation deck, engineering, and often the bridge. Can you imagine Spock wishing to touch them and feel solid instead of nothing? How touch starved he must be. How angst he must feel standing around when he has nothing to do? Spock considers himself illogical for staying. He considers Jim and McCoy both irrational and illogical. He likes to hang around Nyota,  Christine, and Scotty.  But only in the background. Pavel and Hikaru provide some fresh, entertaining dialogue for Spock. Spock is easing himself on suppressing his emotions slowly unraveling himself into a emotional Vulcan  He watches Jim and McCoy flirt, argue, hang out together,  sleep together,  and build a loving friendship together. McCoy worries a lot about Jim. Spock doesn’t like the  Andorian because one, their math is inaccurate, and two, they  are compromised by  their desire to be right all the time and third, this Andorian is a hot mess why are they still alive in star fleet? Spock talks to McCoy and some of the crew members knowing they can’t hear him but it helps him stay sane. Christine and Nyota are pinning after each other and they are friends with benefits. Spock starts to wonder if anyone on this ship is straight because of so many officers grouping up in poly pairs. Spock does the statistics one day on the transporter and MCCOY HEARS HIM WHEN THEY ARE BEING BEAMED. ACTUALLY. HE SEES HIM. PERIOD. MCCOY IS TERRIFIED.  So did Jim but he is not afraid.

After the away mission, the two men do research about Spock by doing detective work at first to determine why there is a invincible Vulcan aboard their ship. McCoy finally realizes he is not alone in his office when he pours another glass for someone else. He feels the skin on his arms crawl up. This takes place after the salt vampire. McCoy is disturbed  and he feels stupid but he talks to thin air. Spock is sitting in a chair across from him slowly realizing the humans have realized he is there. Spock feels humbled that they noticed him.  He can't actually talk to the man as he is dead and all. McCoy leaves a padd that records his voice, carrying on a conversation. Then he goes through and has some techs analyze it for another voice. The techs are scared shitless. McCoy is given the audio of Spock's reply. And McCoy wonders to himself, hearing the deep rich voice of Spock, "Damn, I would have liked to meet this Vulcan when he was alive"  and he starts to frown at some of Spocks replies. Spock irritates McCoy from beyond the grave.  McCoy has goes to Nyota to figure out other ways of speaking to Spock without resorting to the techs because they are terrified. Nyota and Scotty make a device for Spock and McCoy to communicate. McCoy takes the device on away missions arguing with the Vulcan to come along because he needs to see other people instead of the same people every day. Spock meets other ghosts who have not yet moved on, and ends up saving the away teams life many times on the away mission except for once when he is observing animal life that he never saw before. Jim feels guilty and grief that he couldn't save this security officer. McCoy comforts his boyfriend. Jim bounces right back. Spock and McCoy share debates through the next four weeks. One day, Spock returns to Vulcan to visit his childhood home where he meets I-Chaya. It is a emotional reunion. Spock sees Vulcans in radiation suits evacuating the hall of ancient thoughts that were preserved.  Spock is delighted to see they had survived. Spock stays around, days, weeks, informing other Vulcans that they are dead. They refuse to believe him. Spock returns to the  Enterprise after a month to see how the two men were doing. McCoy is no longer talking to thin air.  Spock  notices the Andorian officer has been replaced by a vulcan officer, a male, who Spock is familiar to and insulted to see in Star Fleet since they had bullied Spock in his youth. Spock sees Jim acting OOC flirting with the vulcan officer. Spock is dumbfounded by his change in character.  Spock sees that McCoy is looking at Jim in the background with sad eyes--and it breaks Spock's heart.  When McCoy pours another glass, that's when he realize Spock is back. Spock is angry at McCoy for breaking up with "Your ashaya" and he speaks in fluent Vulcan. McCoy has Nyota translate for him over the angry, deep pissed off voice that is done calmly but the intention is assumed. McCoy explains to Spock the scenario. It's his fault, basically, and Jim decided to end a relationship that was falling apart. Spock is alarmed. From what little he has known Jim the captain would not give up that easily. Spock leaves while Nyota and McCoy are asking questions about Amanda.

Spock learns indirectly that Jim is not interested in a romantic relationship with a ghost. Spock is floored. He thinks it's a illogical accusation that he would have wanted a romantic relationship. He decides if he can not have one with the other as friends then he will have neither. Spock decides to end the relationship he has with McCoy by citing  the following reasons: 'Your personal living life',  'Doctor, I am dead', 'IT IS ILLOGICAL TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH A DEAD PERSON', and 'You have a future on the land of the living. Do not put yourself in harms way to be with me. Live long and prosper'. And he leaves McCoy, but not without finding what is wrong with the captain to learn a entity is using him as a host. Spock personally launches himself into Jim's body when there is a conflict on the bridge between the bridge crew and Jim. Jim is overwhelmed and the science officer nerve pinches him. Spock fights the evil entity out of Jim. Spock retreads to Vulcan leaving a broken hearted doctor and a bewildered captain who has to make a unusual captains log.  McCoy thinks they can always start their friendship up together because that's all McCoy was interested in with him. A friendship, and also get to know him better. McCoy's Enterprise family have to put together what what was broken by this entity and repair relationships. Jim's relationship with McCoy is strained when he stands by the choice he made ending their relationship. Six months later there is a transporter incident. Spock returns when McCoy has a Near Death Experience and is outside of his body. McCoy crashes onto Spock in this bear hug--AND MCCOY LOOKS SO YOUNG. McCoy wants to go with Spock. Spock declines, informing him that his time has not come. McCoy wants to keep their friendship on. Spock informs him their friendship would be logical, even more possible, if he were a living hybrid. And he cites the relationship that was destroyed by his method of communication. And the friction that now exists between Jim and McCoy. McCoy tells him that kid can get another CMO to replace him. Spock explains McCoy is not expandable nor is the captain. McCoy pleads for Spock  to come with him. Spock explains he cannot go. He has unfinished business. Spock tells him if he wants to leave everyone behind then do it but leave him out of this. McCoy mentions how nurse chapel and doctor M'Benga can put the pieces back together after his death. McCoy doesn't want to go alone. He is terrified of dying. Spock informs him that to keep his dignity, he should welcome death as a colleague. McCoy is insulted. Spock further more informs him to stop thinking of the possibility of them as a item because it will never, ever, ever happen. McCoy wants Spock to stay. They argue about it. For several minutes as M'Benga works on resuscitating the doctor. Spock gives the examples of Jim's reaction to what is happening right now as big reasons why McCoy should not join him. Logically,  Jim will follow. He is too young for that. McCoy is pissed because then he will never see the vulcan again. Spock is being rude to McCoy for the doctors own good and telling McCoy to stop thinking of him. McCoy finally draws a cord with Spock.  If they find a way to bring back vaporized people, then Spock must be the first. Spock gives McCoy his word. McCoy catches Spock smiling as he gives the doctor the ta'al, "Live long and--" McCoy does not get to hear the end of it.

Sarek has been making sure the ashes of the Vulcans and Sehlats killed are put into vases. They found only one pile of ashes in his home. Sarek is hoping that it is Amanda. Sarek has bonded with a elder who lost her betrothed to natural causes. Sarek is caring for her while making sure the pregnancy does not harm her. Sarek feels Spock's presence is around and he hopes that Spock understands his wish. Spock understands, completely. Spock looks at the vases with hope that his race can be restored one way or another. He has hope that the ash found in the S'Chn T'Gai Household is Amanda's. He rather that it was her.  He does not feel worthy to be brought back to life. Spock performs meditation then attends the Vulcan Science Academy as a visitor. He can see the dead students in the rounded holes taking quizzes. Spock experiences nostalgia. Spock allows himself to visit Mount Sela to stay there for  awhile. Spock misses his mother. The events of journey to babel happen. McCoy decides to speak with Sarek. Sarek has a heart attack. Then random out of thin air there is a transport malfunction but a different version of his son, younger, different, and he looks nothing like Sarek in a different version of the blue and black uniform. Blood transfusion saves Sarek's life. Other Spock inquires if they lost their  Spock due to the destruction of Vulcan. There is silence in the room. McCoy gently explains to Other Spock the story and he never knew the Vulcan but he knew his ghost.  Other Spock shows them a family photograph of another version of their Spock alive and well and--McCoy gets emotional looking at it. Other Spock  reveals his mentor died of natural causes. They send other Spock back through the transporter with the photograph. The conference goes on as scheduled.  Eventually, it comes around to the time that  Spock should have his Pon Farr. He decides to see how the doctor is doing after spending months on Vulcan. McCoy and Jim's relationship has healed. They are on a planet that has people who make synthetic androids for free. McCoy is making sure that one synthetic android looks exactly like Spock.  Spock attempts to enter it and use it but he cannot. These people's mines are being used to get dilithium crystals for star fleet vessels. McCoy finally gives up after days of it being hid in his quarters. McCoy spends an hour talking to the inactive synthetic updating him about his life.  Spock is there listening in. The synthetic android is disassembled afterwards. Spock sees that Nyot and Christine are married. T'Pring currently being courted as she is a science officer. Spock is pleased by how this is turning out. T'Pring experiences Pon Farr. Nyota and Christine are off duty for three days signed off by the  Captain.  Spock sees the women happy together, sitting on the couch, in a cuddle, and-- it painfully reminds Spock of what he can never have.

It's been five years and Spock should have moved on into the afterlife but he hasn't.  Christine, Nyota, and T'Pring are on their second five year mission together in deep space  under the command of James T. Kirk and Commander McCoy.  Nyota  has been promoted to  Lt Cmnder. T'Pring is Lt Cmnder. The last mission McCoy had in the first five year mission involved a break through that brings ashes to life. They try it on the  Vulcans first. Spock is up for the last. Sarek, McCoy, and Jim. The radiation has died down since the initial explosion that has been blamed on some Romulans plotting. Spock has watched Vulcans come back. The machine activates. Amanda is back, oddly enough. Sarek's previous mate died a few days ago due to old age in her late one hundred nineties. McCoy's heart is broken, again. Amanda and Sarek have the vulcan equivalent of a intimate embrace. McCoy feels like the Vulcan broke his word.  He grieves but with Jim being there for him this time around Spock has dropped in and out of the two's lives, but notably when Jim's lives are on the line. Spock has kept Jim company. Jim knows Spock intimately. The machines are working on the Sehlats. Spock is confused on why he hasn't moved on. He decides to watch over them. He feels hurt that he can't talk to them. Jim decides to take out the device McCoy had put away years ago. They have been married for a few years. Amanda likes Jim and McCoy.  McCoy and Jim turn on the device.  McCoy’s eyes light up when he hears Spock's voice for the first time again in years. Jim negotiates with Spock when they can talk. T'Pring is the first officer. The crew adapts to having devices that detect when Mr Spock is around  and can carry his voice. Spock finds out he can move things by his emotions  when he shoves McCoy out of  fear from being shot at. Spock goes on away missions and they don't even know because he stays afar a safe distance to stay professional. Spock and McCoy have become good colleague. Slowly, but surely, their relationship turns romantic. Spock arouses McCoy in the least convenient times and uses his ability to touch things due to his emotions to his advantage.

Jim completes his second five year mission.  

Then allows William Decker to take command while Jim and McCoy go help people along with Spock following behind them. Most of the command crew is kept. The tight kept family keeps messages together. Spock watches Jim and McCoy grow old together. New wrinkles appearing on their faces. Getting a year older.  Losing their hearing, eyesight, and most importantly Jim is losing his hair. Spock does not look a day old. Spock leaves them alone when it comes to shut eye. They miss him even though he is still there. He is dead and can communicate but they can't touch him. Jim is a touchy man. That frustrates Jim. More so it does to Spock. But they make it work. Christine, Nyota, and T'Pring remind Spock of what he could have. What he could be experiencing. And there are days where he wants to know which Romulans were responsible for his death. He is a ghost who does not know who the person killed him is. Jim and McCoy have adopted a Romulan/Vulcan Hybrid named Saavik. He is called, Spock the ghost, within star fleet. He watches Jim grow older. McCoy's age beginning to show. Saavik lighting them up in a way that makes Spock  feel like she fills a void in the men. A favor that he cannot repay. Vulcan society has recovered and the buildings are rebuilt. Sehlats roaming in the environment that he once lived in. Vulcanian plants have been returned including the insects. Saavik is introduced to Spock through his voice and he watches over her sometimes, if not, helping her with being bullied by Vulcanians who have entered the academy when she is old enough. Saavik, Jim, McCoy, and Spock are one inconvenient family.

The Enterprise becomes a training vessel commanded by Captain T'Pring with Commander Uhura and Commander Chapel as her support. Jim and McCoy attending to see how Cadet  Saavik did, since they raised her, congratulating her for failing the kobyashi maru. Jim gives Saavik the tale of two cities. Spock understands why he is here. He is visiting his mother when he senses something wrong has happened. He teleports to  engineering---and Jim is dead. Laid  on the floor. Jim is actually standing above his body looking down upon it. Spock goes in after the captain placing a hand on his shoulder and for once he is solid! He can touch his shoulders. Jim is relieved to see someone like Spock. Jim grows a wide, supernova smile. Spock is almost in disbelief and nearly in tears, bittersweet as it is, as McCoy is grieving.  Spock explains the ground rules to being dead and that he should move on. Jim has no idea to move on. So these two dorks are trying every method to help Jim to move on. Transporter, letting his heart out, talking his heart out, and making admissions. Spock is annoyed that it is not working since it has worked on crew members who have yet to pass on that he encountered on the Enterprise and off. Jim's body is jetted out into space. Jim and Spock finally get to have a few hours to themselves and they spend it making out while Jim looks the age he first met McCoy. T'Pring is feeling anguish that she could not help save the ship. Nyota is telling her that there is nothing she could have done. She could not have known. T'Pring gives a list of reasons that she should have known to prevent the captain's death.  Christine comes in as the two women are holding each other with one of them crying against the others chest. Christine puts her hands on their shoulders with tears in their eyes and joins the tearful embrace. Doctor McCoy had to perform the autospy with help from her.

McCoy comforts David. They talk about Jim, extensively. McCoy tells him if things were different, David could have been part of their family. And he still can be. McCoy calls Carol and Saavik in. They have to talk over this loss, together, as a family or risk not having one because of losing Jim. Saavik agrees. Jim begins fade before Spock's eyes as they rest on a bed together no longer shackled by being alive and dead. Spock realizes Jim's not dead. Not anymore, to be exact. Spock strokes the man's cheeks and tells him that his husband needs him. Spock will see Jim again. Spock approaches McCoy when the man is in his bed, crying, alone hours after the autospy had been conducted and the little family comfort. Spock sadly touches the human's shoulder noting that his device is damaged.  Spock cannot inform McCoy of the sudden recovery. Spock rubs his fingers in a circle on the man's shoulder. McCoy is a walking shell of himself. It becomes apparent afterwards including when they get to Star Base 1. T'Pring's ship is about to be decommissioned and will be destroyed after decades in space. Spock informs T'Pring through a urgent, feely mind meld of Jim's resurrection. T'Pring takes a shuttle craft to Genesis with her wives in tow. Spock opts to watch over Saavik and David to see how they are doing. Scotty is not in a good shape himself after seeing his relative, Peter, die before his eyes. Spock watches the crew be separated into new assignments.

Spock waits until he sees McCoy going past him quite livid, "I NEED A SHUTTLE CRAFT TO VULCAN!" And it is confusing. Why go to Vulcan of all places? Spock arrives at Vulcan to find healers over a sleeping figure with brown curly hair confused on his resurrection. He overhears them mention amnesia. He finds T'Pring with her wives waiting outside to hear word regarding the captain. McCoy arrives later with the crew behind him desperate to see if what they heard was right. T'Pau approaches them and informs  McCoy of the shocking news. McCoy faints into Scotty, Pavel, and Hikaru's arms. Saavik is among them with David who is apparently shocked. McCoy waits for the healers to be finished with Jim. Jim recognizes Bones, asking, "I know your face." "I know yours better than our ghost." "Why do you look so old?" rubbing the side of the man's cheek. McCoy smiles, feeling like the world has been lifted. Genesis is still thriving. Three months later, Jim and McCoy opt to return to Earth to act as character witnesses for the three women. Spock attends sitting in a empty seat. They succeed. Spock finds David and Saavik are bonded while living on Vulcan together, happily in bliss. Spock finds out who killed him by a fleet captain talking it over with another officer. Spock heads on a roaring rampage of revenge on Romulus that is costly in lives and in starships. He is furious as he knows the exact reason why this Romulan had done it. When he is done, Spock feels a lot better and leaves the Romulan air space for them to put the pieces back together. He has screwed them up royally. And may have invaded in the mind of the Romulan who orchestrated his and countless other Vulcan's deaths then really screwed them up. He comes across a woman named Jaylah who still looks quite young for her age for joining star fleet being ferried to starbase one on the USS Hood A.

Spock watches Jim get rounder, losing his hair, and adopt a tribble toupee. He doesn't mind the purring because it is quite soothing for his age  and it's comfortable. Sometimes he doesn't even notice the low purring nor does the people he talk to. Jim's eyesight is failing, McCoy's arthritis is terrible, and Spock does make regular contact with them. McCoy considers this  a great thing. They celebrate hannukah together as a family by watching some cheesey romantic christmas movies. They cuddle, a lot, and garden together. Spock looks at the aged men in longing while looking younger than them. Jim's hearing is bound to come next. They are aging gracefully when T'Pring suggests them in 2293 for the Khitomer Treaty.  They decline, respectfully, except when Spock agrees that they should go out by making their farewell to space not to their youth because they are always so young by the inside. By the end, Spock is a guilty party. Valeris, Saavik's friend,  betrayed them. Sent Jim and McCoy to a arctic planet framing them for a Klingon murder. They save the day then retire three months later with the Enterprise A. The Enterprise A has been under T'Pring's command for roughly a decade or less.  McCoy and Jim enjoy their retirement while helping out the nearby community and Spock feels so left out because he is not alive. He doesn’t have a vessel to love them with. He has provided them with garden advice and how to cook some vulcan meals. The men take advantage of Spock's lack of being touched by letting him do the touching on them. Sometimes he startles them but in reality, they expected it the entire time, and enjoy it more than they actually should. Spock can find Jim and McCoy at night sleeping together with McCoy's head on his chest and their legs entangled. One day,  in 2364,  for the first time, in over several decades and after several instances of McKirk convincing him that even without a body he still matters to their relationship, Spock feels like he can go. Marking his first anniversary as a ghost. He feels happy for the first time in his life being assimilated into their little family. And he sees the light. Spock bids them farewell, "Live long and prosper." But he will not take them without him. If he can not have one with the other then he will have neither. The McKirk's are sad, but so adorably sweet and cute together that they manage it ten happy, beautiful, glorious years without Spock. They feel a void inside their domestic life without Spock until the end. There is a emotional reunion in the afterlife with the crew as a family.

THE. END.

Question, would Uhura x  Chapel  X T’Pring be T’Chapura not Chahurapring?

For the sake of fem slash, I am curious.

And so I can correctly tag/them refer to them as such.
