Reactions and Reviews
1987
Vivian Gates' "Else It Was Never Yours" is your superior first timer - if you ignore the years of celibate love that existed before physical expression arrived. The delicate matter of their coming together is dealt with with gentleness and slow caution; truly appropriate to the depiction of the two men's tangled emotions, feelings which require order before being permitted release. A well-handled, tight exploration of the K/S beginning. [1]
1989
This story presents us with a basic inequality in K/S, and the final note is that Spock is "entirely fettered" to Kirk, which is supposed to be a paradoxical sort of freedom. If that's meant to be a resolution, I find it a chilling one. I would like to think that Kirk wouldn't accept K/S on such terms. [2]
