Reactions and Reviews
1993
A two page story of Kirk and Spock having a discussion of love and Lincoln and Surak. Interesting idea, nicely played between them. A little bit too short to support some of the ideas in a dramatic way. It becomes just talk instead of drama and emotions. Except for Kirk answering "Yes." to Spock's proposal -- it was short, but it said a lot. [1]
I am a big Karla Kelly fan and I was not disappointed by this one. I especially loved when Spock was explaining "...there can be no casual affair..." and Kirk answered "yes".
Nice story. [2]
1998
A lovely, simple two page (very signature Karla Kelly) story of Kirk and Spock having a conversation about Lincoln and Surak (and the events from the corresponding episode) and love. Kirk says: “Love between mates can be the most pleasurable sensation in the universe. More, it is a sharing of self that is unsurpassed. Love shared is indescribable.”Kirk declares his love and Spock accepts, but tells him of pon farr and how their relationship will be a lifetime commitment. I just loved that Kirk agrees right away!
Karla Kelly! Where have you been, girl? I know you’re reading this! I miss your stories! [3]
