You may not be confidant writing this way, but believe me, it's gorgeous! Smooth, descriptive without being showy, achy and tense in the best way, just beautiful!
I LOVE THIS PART ESPECIALLY.
Goddamnit. His hand is warm. The feel of it on her skin makes her feel taut, like a violin string that’s been stretched to breaking point. She remembers those hands; awkward, gentle and shy, unlike other men she’s been with. One of the good ones, her mother would have said.
There's so many layers in that little paragraph! Because, while Spock isn't demonstrative, your Spock has never touched Kirk without deliberation or intent. He's been gentle, he's been hesitant to initiate touch, but he's never been awkward. IDK, I just love that in even Uhura's POV there's evidence of Kirk and Spock's inevitability, but without turning Uhura into the bitter broken woman some writers paint her as.
Anyway, you're awesome, and much better at this style than you think. =)

Like how the points of Spock's ears will actually quiver slightly when he's calculating numbers in his head
I'm a little in love with the idea of this detail. Idk why, but I am completely taken with this idea.
And this fic! I need to mem it right away because it's so beautiful and sweet! :-D <33333333333
