Darkness
by Farfalla


As a cadet in San Francisco, Spock watched his first solar eclipse with intellectual reverence. The moonless skies of Vulcan had never provided the opportunity to view his own planet's shadow.

Thirty years later, he and his bondmate stood at the peak of Mt. Tam, watching the world grow dim. In a way, it was once more Spock's first solar eclipse--in his new body.

The moon approached the sun until they joined, the sun's brilliance flaring gold around its calm, perfect body. Jim squeezed Spock's hand, murmuring, "I love you."

The corona glowed, like the world's largest wedding ring.
