I understand the “I will die for you” ship dynamic, but what about the “I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive” kind of couple?

Ohhh yeah

This is *exactly* the feeling I was going for between Kirk and Spock when I wrote “Savage-Wild.” The feeling of: I could not bear to live without you. It would be agony. And I will not let you suffer that agony, either. So we will both live. I’ll find a way.
