A Rare and Precious Gift is a Kirk/Spock story by Sharon Pillsbury.
It was published in the print zine Off Duty #2.
Summary
"Kirkʼs status as a kept man while he, Spock and McCoy are stranded after a shuttle crash, causes anger and resentment after their rescue when Spock and McCoy misunderstand his reasons for it."
Reactions and Reviews
A very engrossing piece. I disagreed with some of the premises - I just don't think it's right to tell Kirk that if he doesn't cooperate it will be his fault that Spock and McCoy don't recover either. Plus I felt it was unforgivable of Sattak to have made a tape of Kirk's revelations without his prior consent, let alone to have shown it to the others, even if it did help out. But that's what made it so thought-provoking and disturbing, and powerful! An outstanding story that I won't soon forget! [1]
