I almost missed this! My birthday has been great and I've had my sister's with me all day so it's honestly just not been on my mind.
Hope that you like it!

Starlight
(noun) the light produced by stars
The best thing about being in space, in Jim's opinion, was the stars. They were so pretty to look at, and the light they produced was bright and comforting; no matter how he hated space for taking his parents away from him, he knew that deep down he understood the allure. His dad had died a hero, and his mom…well, she wasn't strong enough to deal with caring (loving, his mind supplied traitorously) for a child who looked so much like the man she had loved and lost. He couldn't blame her, he supposed; something that Bones disagreed vehemently with—the man disliked her almost more then he hated his ex-wife.
Jim loved that, to be honest; it was nice to have someone care so much about you like that. It was something he never expected to have again, and certainly not by so many people. Joining Starfleet may just be the best damn decision he ever made, despite the events that had happened since he landed Captaincy of the USS Enterprise.
Thinking back on those events, to how his death experience had brought him to a love he thought was beyond his reach and brought him the greatest happiness he had ever known. Being t'hy'la was like standing in starlight; awe-inducing and empowering.
Guys, this is the second to last one. Tomorrow is the end of this. I just wow can you believe that? I can't.
I'm going to go watch a movie now and try not to think of the fact that this is almost over.
Leave a review? As a birthday gift? ;)
Until tomorrow!~
