What if in Platos Children, instead of that horrible uhura and Kirk kiss scene, the Platonians made Spock and Bones sing “Love Me Like You Do” to each other. Alternating lines.
Just imagine Spock singing “your the only thing I want to touch” awkwardly with mounting horror
And bones singing the line “your the color of my blood”
I’m watching ST: TOS 3.4 “And the Children Shall Lead” and this is some X-Files meets Children of the Corn shit? I love how this show will just have these eps that seem to come completely out of the blue.
so I’ve always been curious about just what is happening during the triumvirate reunion at the end of The City on the Edge of Forever but it all happens so fast I can’t see it! so I exploded the gif and, honestly, every frame is pure joy but here are some of my favs:
spock hittin the brakes
‘spock do u hear that?’
‘omg it’s bones!!’
at first you think bones is just taking a step outside, but no
bones is fucking RUNNING towards them. look at that bent knee; perfect for jumping into the arms of his husbands
and then jim throws his arms open. yes! hug him!!
jim is going in for the kill, and spock is realizing that he’s not going to get a hug unless he acts fast. meanwhile if you look closely you can see bones’ smile as he sets himself up for an armful of excitable captain
pictured: pure happiness
kirk just LAUNCHES himself
and bones is right there to catch him (notice the blurry hand to kirk’s right)
as the two hug, spock keeps reaching for bones
bones is so ecstatic he misses the spock-reach at first. he goes for a full hug with jim, both arms wrapping around him
so pure
this one is my fave. he is SO happy
now bones notices spock is reaching for him. good thing, too, because spock is about two seconds away from just hugging them both
spock goes up…
…but bones goes down
ending in a handshake. which can be interpreted multiple ways (is it a vulcan kiss or a brotherly statement of affection? or both?)
whatever it is they seem to share a moment. bones’ unbridled joy is somewhat tempered, but he seems more at ease. perhaps shaking spock’s hand made him realize how serious the situation was, if spock of all people was worried about him
he slowly lets go of jim (but jim does NOT let go of him. look at that glomp!) while continuing to shake spock’s hand, struck by the power of their reunion. he looks into spock’s eyes once more…
…and then to their joined hands, smiling slightly.

DAY TWO: Favorite Episode
↳ STARTREK:THEORIGINALSERIES1.28“TheCityontheEdgeofForever”
“One day soon, man is going to be able to harness incredible energies, maybe even the atom. Energies that could ultimately hurl us to other worlds in in some sort of spaceship. And the men that reach out into space will be able to find ways to feed the hungry millions of the world and the cure their diseases. They will be able to find a way give each other hope and a common future. And those are the days worth living for.”
