Day for Night is a Kirk/Spock story by Alexis Fegan Black.

It was published in the print zine Naked Times #8.

Excerpt

"Kirk jumped, damming himself for the melancholy and preoccupation with the past. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be, Jim, old boy? a nagging thought whispered. When you start getting old, you're expected to surround yourself with antiques and tell the same stories over and over. You're well on your way, now aren't you? His eyes closed, and he gave himself a mental command to let it go. Looking to Spock, he managed a weak smile, grateful to have the Vulcan's company during this time when things were so much closer to the end that the beginning."

Reactions and Reviews

"Day for Night," by Alexis Fegan Black, takes a theme I've grown unbearably sick of — Kirk's 'old age' — and turned it into a hopeful, charming story. Through wishes and desires for things usually unattainable — and with the help of a little Vulcan 'magic' — Kirk and Spock realize that 'old age' is not as ineveitable as many think it is. As usual, Alexis' writing is impeccable; her story highly enjoyable.
