I agree with you about this being like 80s fanfiction, too--in fact, it reminds me a little of one of the 80s pro novels (which were so fanfic like before TNG came out and they clamped down on everything) where a Kirk and Spock in another universe die in each other's arms while mindmelding. The Spock!Prime/young Kirk mindmeld felt a little like that for me, since clearly Spock!Prime was so happy to see his dead husband there.
Hee! As someone below suggests, Spock!Prime can hook up with youngJim, and that clears the path for young!Spock and Uhura, which I agree with you is a fantastic pairing.
Monsterbaby JamesT was awesome. I totally want to see his stepfather's response to him crashing his car into that canyon. (One of the many Iowa canyons, of course).
