My favourite trope is pining, as long as the person doesn't think they're entitled to being loved back. I love it in all favours: Mutual but both are unaware/can't do anything about it, one-side that grows into mutual, a person who stoically pines and cares for years resigned to the hopelessness, denial of feeling breaking out... It's a great source of angst that can be resolved happily.
Rec list:
Star Trek: the Original Series (James T. Kirk/Spock)
Bitter Glass by killabeez: A story about regrets and second chances. Faced with the news of Kirk's death in Generations, Spock tells the story of a thirty-year friendship that defied all categorization. (Crossover with Star Trek: TNG) Originally posted in 1996.
The Diver by Carolyn_Spencer: One does not need to be well trained in the paths of logic to discern the meaning of the vision. I am the diver, and he, of course, the sea.
Catching Light: His mother did not think Spock understood loneliness for what it is, that he did not understand the way it creeps unbidden into a heart and splits like a wound. She did not think he felt its socketed mouth twisted open and yawning at the heart of him, hungry to be fed.
