Ship Wars Prompt Two: Ain't no sunshine when (s)he's gone

[coffeestudies]

So this is the joint entry for the second Ship Wars prompt over at st_respect: Ain't no sunshine when (s)he's gone.

And I can tell you, ladyblahblah and I totally kicked some artsy ass! She wrote the drabble and I alternatively cried onto my keyboard and laughed hysterically because ladyblahblah just does that to me (also, I did the art). Furthermore, ladyblahblah would like to inform you that she is totally wearing flowers in her hair right now and never kids; and I wanna tell her again how great it was to work with her. This piece turned out so much better for her input. Thank youuuu! ♥

Title: Only now, it burns
Rating: PG
Summary/Description: When Spock goes away to purge all emotions, Kirk knows what he has done. And when he wakes up after another dream of the Vulcan desert, he feels his skin burning.
Warnings: emosad, displays of manpain
Word count: 99 luftballons words

I don't know if the others know why it happened. It doesn't matter, really; I know. Know I could have made him stay if I had been willing to give more, to be more. More His, and less the skirt-chasing commitment-phobe I made myself out to be. Old habits are hard to break, though. It seems there's something James Tiberius Kirk can't do, after all.

I can't feel him anymore. Didn't even realize I could until the touch of his mind was gone.

I still get up in the morning, and the sun still shines.

Only now, it burns.



Bigger manpain is better!

But it is! The last line was what you gave me to start the drabble. -_- Without that line none of it would have happened.

I could do that . . . I think. :lol: And YOU TALK ABOUT BEING TRAPPED IN ST FANDOM FOR ALL TIME LIKE IT'S A BAD THING.

For realz, though, let's try to avoid anything that ends with us slingshoting around the sun or something. I don't have an aquarium tank large enough to hold a whale.

Yes, but anon7 is talking about the last two lines! The getting up in the morning followed by the sun still shines was your idea! God, just listen to us, bickering about who did what... XD

'Kay, let's work out the details tomorrow. ANd you don't have to if you don't want. But if you wanted to, you could!

I ENDED THERE BECAUSE THE NEXT THING I WOULD HAVE SAID IS THAT THAT WOULDN'T BE TOO BAD. :D

ROFL. But then we could argue forever about whether we like Italian food or not.
