Summary
Jim Kirk, son to the Ambassadors of Earth, spends his days aboard the Enterprise performing mind-numbing duties that fall way below his skill set as a Starfleet officer. He wants to prove to his parents that he's capable of having a more important role on the ship, and that his passion for Starfleet's mission of exploration and discovery are being wasted in his lonely duties on the lower decks.
Spock, son to Vulcan Prime Minister Sarek and Vulcan Ambassador Amanda Grayson, also dreams of a life unconstrained from his parents' expectations. The upcoming alliance talks between Vulcan and the Federation are his chance to show them that he could be more than just a lowly scientist on Vulcan -- that his work could extend further into the galaxy and allow for greater scientific discovery. But personal obligations are currently keeping him tied to Vulcan, and he's prepared to do whatever it takes to leave them behind.
Both of them want more for themselves than the lives handed to them by their parents. And when the two of them meet, there’s nothing in the galaxy that will keep them apart.
It’s Romeo and Juliet, but make it Spirk.

Summary
“Right,” said Jim. If he sounded distracted, it was only because his eyes were fixed on the way Spock’s blush highlighted his cheekbones, how it trailed over his ears and down his neck, how it must travel beneath his uniform and…
Jim felt himself flushing, too. He spat out an excuse - he had no idea what it was, completely incapable of processing it - and fled, because it was becoming dangerously, horrifically clear.
James Kirk had a crush on his professor.
*
He's been dumped by his girlfriend, his roommate keeps bugging him, and he needs credits to finish out the summer semester.
The lecture series on Vulcan poetry he signed up for on a whim might turn out to be Jim's saving grace.
