languid

I want to post a link to a fic that I read a few days ago called The Mirror.  It's a very interesting, sort of sad story about Spock, when he was about 22.  It's a companion piece to a long and wonderful work in progress called Descartes Error.  What I love about the characterization of Spock here is that he's not the childlike almost-andriod that we see in a lot of fan fiction about him (at least when it comes to his relationship with Uhura).  He's a man with both Vulcan and human tendencies, and he has had sexual experiences.  He doesn't fall in love, though, until he meets his match in Descartes Error.  Knowing that this happens makes "The Mirror" a little less sad, but still..  It really stayed with me after reading it.
