Reactions and Reviews

I find legends of immortal beings who bear close resemblance to Kirk and Spock to be inspiring. This is short and uncomplicated, as legends passed on by tribal story tellers should be. One can readily see Kirk and Spock in these two ancient warriors immortalized around campfires. Theirs is a love so pure and dedicated that in the end even death is unable to defeat them. They live on in the hearts of those who tell of their exploits and their tragic end—just as Kirk and Spock will forever live in our hearts. Immortal. I love seeing them in such a light.[1]

This is a very short story, told in the style of a storyteller relating the tale of the legend of James the Fair, James K’yrr the Bright One, and Spock the Wise. I don’t much care for this type of story, but I know it appeals to some K/S fans. [2]
