   Summary

   A tragic incident leaves Captain Kirk dead, and Spock without his bondmate. When given a second chance by a mysterious being known only as Q, Spock goes back to the beginning of his relationship with Jim, determined not to let it happen again.

   Q's only rule?

   If Captain Kirk ever falls for Spock, it will all be over.

   Being around the man he loves is both a blessing and a torture for Spock. But how far can he push himself to keep Jim safe while also at an arm's length. And is their love as inevitable as Jim's death?
