So, a month or so ago I made this post on my journal, asking for Spock/McCoy recs. No one came forward with any, which made me sad.
Yeah, I've been looking for some recs too, and the thing about old school Spock/McCoy is that a lot of it, like most old school fic, is sort of...florid, almost? In the way that a lot of old school fic is. It's a different style that just takes getting used to and is not necessarily a bad thing, but it's a style that doesn't always lend itself well to a pairing like Spock/McCoy. It's like someone I know put it, old school writers just didn't understand the beauty of the hatefuck. (Or, alternately, the "My feelings for you are confusing and yet sometimes manifest themselves as hate"fuck.)
Whoa, I sort of went tl;dr on you there. I think what I meant to say was, thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :D
