Star Trek
Four Times Amanda
by PurpleHydrangeas
Amanda didn't see the issue with T'hy'las, and she celebrated when such an unusual bond manifested for Spock. As she saw things, Jemima Kirk had given Spock choices in life, given him the space to discover his own path, and develop his own identity. Spock had done the work of building his own life, but Jim had provided him insight into other ways of being, other ways of doing, that harked to Vulcan's most sacred ideals. Amanda vowed she would never forget those gifts. As a mother, a life freely and authentically lived was all she wanted for her child.
