    Summary

    Jim’s request, when it comes, is slid smoothly within the rest of his chatter, inserted casually enough that it would be easy to dismiss as one of the captain’s jokes, should he want to. But Spock has spent a great deal of time attempting to decipher Jim’s normally well-disguised tells; he sees the way Jim’s eyes slide to him, careful and assessing, when he says:

    “I don’t know, Spock, can’t we just. Go somewhere? Rent a car? I can’t—“

    I can’t stay here, he doesn’t say, but Spock hears it all the same.

    It is an illogical, emotional suggestion made by an illogical, emotional man. And yet—

    (There is always an ‘and yet,’ with Jim—)

    Spock rents them a car.

    Summary

    “So let me get this straight,” said Bones, “you’re going on a date with a Vulcan you’ve never met, but he’s also your best friend?”

    "It's not a date!" Jim insisted.

    Summary

    "This is a very simple experiment, bard." Cold blue eyes met Jaskier's. "The Witcher over there? He's dying. There's only one thing that can save him at this point."

    Jaskier glanced towards Geralt apprehensively; his head lolled back. If he was conscious, he gave no sign of it.

    "I want you to bond him."

    Jaskier jerked, staring at the man in horror. "No."

    Soul-bonding was intimate, a moment reserved in private between two people who had decided to share every joy and every sorrow. They would feel each other's pain, know if the other was on the brink of death. It was a bond that could only be forged with good intention, with the purest motive. There was no way to undo it. Bonding Geralt would mean surrendering half his soul to the Witcher, to experiencing every pain, and every woe. But worse than that. Witchers didn't have souls. Jaskier would be throwing away the greatest connection he could ever experience, for a man who would never be able to return it. Jaskier was romantic enough to admit that he wanted a romance of the ages, and a bond of certainty.

    Not this.

    "Let me make this easier for you: bond him, or I'll kill you."
