A Thought for Christmas is a Kirk/Spock story by Ellen Thatcher.

It was published in the print zine First Time #5.

Summary

"Spock gives Kirk the reliving of any memory he wants as a Christmas gift and Kirk picks the smile Spock gave him after the Koonakalifee."

Excerpt

"Christmas. Spock almost hated the word. The humans on board the Enterprise were exuberant. Even more so than usual and the first officer, Spock, considered taking his back leave, effective immediately, and staying on Vulcan until the illogical holiday was past. True, the whole crew wasn't caught up in the frivolous insanity but most of the personnel were human and the ship's captain, James Kirk, most certainly was. I cannot leave, Spock thought glumly. It would wound Jim. He adores this time of year and cannot accept that I do not. Spock heaved a deep sigh and jerked violently, almost breaking his knee on a table leg when Dr. McCoy spoke from behind him."

Reactions and Reviews

1986

"A Thought for Christmas," by Ellen Thacher, is a non-explicit, implied K/S, piece, with a comfy, cozy feel to it. It takes place at a Christmas celebration, and Spock finds he is out of ideas for gifts for JTK. He gives him a special "thought" for Christmas. I thoroughly enjoyed this; you too will like it if you're a romantic.

1989

I enjoyed this a lot - a very warm, soft, easy-feeling story. Spock's most under standable dilemma at choosing a gift for Kirk was touchingly funny - as McCoy kindly pointed out, Spock's previous efforts were less than successful! Spock's eventual gift to Kirk was truly something only he could give.

1997

A mind meld, the most precious gift Spock could offer, accepted in love.
