Bequeathed is a Kirk/Spock story by Carol A. Pierce.

It was published in the print zine Naked Times #9.

Excerpt

"You claim to be able to prove the existence of reincarnation," Spock began. "To the point and quite honestly," the Seeress said, "I claim only what is. I have proven reincarnation as a means of growth for all beings. Each being is a composite, Spock, a result of all they have been or will be…"

Reactions and Reviews

1986

BEQUEATHED tells of past lives and fate and destiny in the form of a well-written story-within-a-story. There are no great insights or revelations here, but the theories dealt with are interesting and the story is good. [1]

1987

BEQUEATHED was probably my least favorite story in the zine, as it seemed to be reaching to make its point (one of reincarnation). I did find it to be an interesting piece, though it seemed to lack a certain eroticism that I admit to enjoying in K/S. With a few cuts here and there, it could have appeared in a genzine - which might have changed my view of it entirely. It's a good story, but not the spicy flavor of good K/S. [2]

1989

Conceptually, this is the most interesting of the stories in NAKED TIMES 9, even though it's really a dressed up formula story. We have a past life here that is a pretty standard slave story—except that the slave owner is female. I like the seeress who locates the past life of Kirk and Spock, but she could stand more development as a character. I also can't see Spock "squirm in his chair". Spock would have more control, but that's a minor point. [3]
