Summary

"Being stationed on Earth isn’t as bad as Kirk might once have thought; anything seems bearable as long as Spock remains at his side. In a moment of clarity, Kirk sees just how content he is… and why."

Reactions and Reviews

Mmmmmmmm, yes. From start to finish, a completeness, a strength, a perfection in words and deeds. I love it.[1]

“Hello, Earth” in As I Do Thee 19 is very typical of the author’s low-key but intimate style. Here, Kirk and Spock have been friends for many years. It is after the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and Kirk and Spock are both winding down their careers with assignments on Earth. Kirk isn’t especially enamored of the desk job he’s been assigned to, though Spock gets him to admit that the negotiations he’s in charge of can have significant impact. Every week, Kirk trudges up a San Francisco hill to have dinner with Spock. And it’s during one of these dinners that he reaches into his pocket and pulls out.... Well, you’ve got to read it yourself, don’t you think? [2]
