an essay by
Gamin Davis
My interpretation of the Kirk and Spock friendship and why
I don't believe it has any sexual aspects, including an episode-by-episode
/ movie-by-movie account of the evolution of their relationship.
A story about Spock's decision
to join Starfleet, his clash with
Sarek over it, and the beginnings
of their long-running feud.
(Warning: this story contains
a necessarily harsh portrayal
of Sarek--
considering the subject matter,
I couldn't find any way around that.)
Spock's First Christmas
Pre-TOS S, Sa, Am, K, Mc, Ch; [G] For General sappiness
Spock reflects on the one Christmas his mother wasn't able to spend on
Earth, and how he and Sarek collaborated on a special Christmas present to
cheer her up.
Missing Scenes from "The Galileo
Seven" in which Spock, while
recovering from his leg injury,
tries--with Kirk's help--to deal with his
feelings of shame over losing
the lives of two men on the Murasaki 312
mission, his first away mission
command.
Darkness
Early Version
K&S, Mc, angst, h/c [G]
A short back story to the episode "Operation: Annihilate!",
covering how Spock dealt with his period of blindness and how
Kirk dealt
with his nephew, Peter, and the loss of his brother, Sam.
Memories Born of Fire
K&S, S/Ch, Mc; h/c, angst
A full-length sequel to "Amok Time"
(previously published in my
zine SOMETHING TO REMEMBER,nominated for a Fan-Q Award)
in which Spock's attempts to deal with his shame and
fear after nearly killing Kirk force him to face the unexpected
depth of his feelings of friendship for Kirk--especially after
the Captain's life is again threatened on Altair VI.
K&S, Ch, Mc,
Sa, A; angst, h/c, DEATH [PG]
This is my first piece of fan-fiction.
The story of how Kirk
and McCoy help a still-unbonded Spock (and
themselves) face his
death in pon farr, then try to cope with his loss.
Post-ST:TMP K&S&f, Ch, Mc; H/C, angst
(PG-13 for graphic mind-rape)
Spock is kidnapped by Kor to be
used as a test-subject for a new type of mind-sifter
intended to be effective on
Vulcans and others with mental shielding ability. Spock becomes involved
with the half-Human/half-Romulan creator of the new mind-sifter--who
also happens to be the daughter of the Romulan Kirk once defeated
in battle ("Balance of Terror").
Early Version
(TOS, K&S, S/Ch, Mc, assorted Human relatives of Spock;
h/c [G])
Two years after the V'ger mission,
the crew of the Enterprise-including Kirk, Spock,
McCoy and Christine Chapel-get the chance
to spend Christmas on Earth with
their families. After
being rejected by his Humans relatives, Spock accepts an
invitation to join Kirk
and Christine in Iowa where they are sharing an
old-fashioned Christmas with Kirk's Mother; Spock arrives
feeling depressed
and isolated, and when he gets
lost in a blizzard, avision of an angel
shows him how truly fortunate he is.
Shortly before the first Christmas, after the V'ger mission,
McCoy faces a seemingly impossible choice: give a presentation on Vulcan mating
rituals for the annual Federation Medical Conference or risk his career.
When Kirk, as a result, is forced to choose between helping him or keeping
his years-old, but so far unbroekn promise to Spock not to dicuss details
of the pon farr with anyone, his choice leads to a loss of Spock's trust
and the near-destruction of their friendship ( and more) as Christmas approaches.
Then a mysterious star heralds a Christmas miracle that draws the two of
them back together.
Our Dearest Blood
(Post-STIII / AU, K&S, Mc,
Sa, Am, h/c) [G]
A STIII sequel written as an alternative to STIV, focusing on the
early days of Spock's
recovery after the fal-tor-pan ceremony
and Kirk's efforts to help him.
Time of Miracles
(Post-STIV, K&S&M, Ch) [G]
Kirk
is injured during the Enterprise-A's shakedown cruise;
Spock
and McCoy face Christmas with him in a coma at a starbase hospital
and
the two of them having to spend the holiday together, worrying about
Kirk
and learning to get along
with each others.
