Summary

"M/U: Kirk denies Spock penetration in their lovemaking until he runs into a love from his past, in a situation he never would have dreamt of."

Reactions and Reviews

This M/U story began in an ordinary manner, but the plot presented a surprising twist midway through. It's not the first time that another individual has make Kirk and/or Spock realize how much they each need and value the other, but I believe it's the first time it's happened with the mirror characters. In any case, Willow's appearance made a very strong point. I liked Kirk's complexity in this story, though wish it would have been better explained why he was only interested in oral sex initially. The reader can only assume that he viewed intercourse — even if he was on top — as being in a vulnerable position. I was also impressed that Spock refrained from using the meld at the end.
