"Kirk introduces Spock to his boyhood home in this delightful story of discovery and love."

Reactions and Reviews

A nice gentle story as Kirk and Spock gradually come to terms with their feelings for each other. It seems much more realistic this way, the very slow and hesitant reaching out, rather than falling into each other's arms immediately. I also liked the portrayal of Kirk's mother. She is just as I picture her — vital, intelligent, and involved. Good story. [1]

I was very disappointed in the ending of this story. After 24 pages of careful build up, the page and a half for a sex scene to end it seemed abrupt and unsatisfying. There were a couple of things that also struck me as wrong, the worst of which being would. Kirk really openly refer to Spock's aborted Pon Farr in front of Kirk's mother. [2]
