Summary
Spock tells Kirk about his planet long before they go. He is logical and straightforward, listing the objective facts, but Kirk knows what he means. When Spock says, “The temperature is significantly higher than Earth’s,” he means that sometimes the Enterprise gets cold, and he misses home. “A dry heat,” he assures Kirk, and Kirk knows it means that Spock can’t stand humidity. “The sands were always red,” and that’s why it’s Spock’s favorite color. “Near my home there was a Korian tree, and it was only in bloom five days a year,” so Spock sends a communication to his mother every year on those days and asks how the tree is doing. It’s a very beautiful picture that Spock paints with facts and numbers.
When Spock asks Kirk about Earth, about Iowa, all Kirk can describe are the stars.

Summary
Shoved to the ground, his robes coated in red dust, his hands practically bleeding with it (this is a metaphor—thankfully, his blood runs as green as his father’s), he tries to maintain a logical approach. “Vulcans do not resort to physical violence. We do not submit to biology in such ways.”
“What would you know about Vulcan biology?”
Everything. Spock is well above most of his classmates in the studies of the sciences, especially those specific to Vulcans. He did not understand why his mother looked as she did, why his father looked as he did, and why he, the result of the two of them, didn’t seem to match either of them enough. Curiosity has been his driving force since birth; when the crying was done, Amanda likes to tell him he raised an eyebrow at her in his first conscious act after birth. It is a silly story that no one believes, and Spock has asked her not to tell it outside of the house. Spock doesn’t know why he asked her to do that, just that he knows he is embarrassed by the story, by the clear editorializing of his life. Vulcans don’t lie.

Summary
"It’s not the worst sort of life to live - he is gainfully employed, and well-respected among his colleagues. Each year he comes a little further in mending his fraught relationship with Sasuke, closer to reconciliation.
He should be content with that. It is something he is able to convince himself is true, though the feeling never seems to actualize."
A Valentine's Day fic, in two parts.
