my new favorite spirk headcanon is that spock starts thinking about jim as “ashayam”/”t’hy’la”/(insert vulcan endearment here) in his head before they’ve got together bc he’s actually a sap
but one time spock gets annoyed at him and grits out “Ashayam, refusing to sign the peace treaty will only beleaguer the natives unnecessarily. Please consider another course of action.” and it’s an accident and spock fucked up, he fucked up really bad but he just rolls with it and doesn’t say anything because idk maybe jim didn’t notice
but then jim is like what did you just call me omg
Closely related, one of my all-time favorite things is Jim secretly becoming an expert on Vulcans so that he can figure out WTF is up with Spock on any given day.
The best part is that it’s a little bit canon.
