TWO SHIPS PASSING by Dovya Blacque (Reprinted from "As I Do Thee #20" - 1993)
- Having returned, victorious, from their encounter with V’ger, the crew of the ENTERPRISE is reassigned, a fact that does not sit well with any of them, least of all Kirk and Spock – who have just realized the need to admit a few difficult truths to each other. This is the prequel to "In The Night" (see above).

SINNERS by Deborah Cummins
- While on a diplomatic mission, Kirk and Spock encounter a level of prejudice against the Federation and aliens that involves them on a personal level, one they'd never expected or experienced before.
ATTRACTION a novel by CatalenaMara and Danielle Stewart.
- This is an AU that supposes Spock was born in space among a mixed family of humans and Vulcans and a James Kirk who, from early childhood, was raised on Tarsus among a cruel and repressed society. Complex circumstances draw these two disparate beings into a world of social taboos, unexpected emotions and high adventure. A deeply involving, beautifully written tale of a Kirk and Spock who, in the end, aren't that different from the Kirk and Spock we know.

We All Need Someone by Mary Kay (p. 5-20)

The Human Factor by Deborah Cummins (p. 91-132)
- Following the fal tor pan, Spock finds himself in great upheaval. Everything is alien and unknown, seemingly unknowable. Questions plague him: who is he as a Vulcan, what does it even mean to be Vulcan? Who are these people, these humans who call him friend? But the most difficult task of all is learning how to once again be Spock.
A Matter of Trust by Mary Kay (p. 137-160)
- Kirk and Spock are just beginning a more intimate relationship when an assignment takes them to a planet run by women, testing Spock’s ability to trust his new partner when Kirk’s previous reputation becomes an issue.
Two Words by Catalena Mara (p. 167-194)
- Based on Barbara Hambly’s pro Trek novel, “Ishmael”, this story tells of what happens once Spock is returned to his timeline from 1870’s Seattle, Washington. How has his time in Earth’s past with Aaron Stemple and the rest of the characters from “Here Come The Brides” changed him? What has he learned? What has he gained?
