I'll See You in My Dreams is a Kirk/Spock story written by Tere Ann Roderick and illustrated Maureen B.

It was published in the print zine As I Do Thee #1.

Sequel

It has a sequel called Now It Begins. The editor writes in As I Do Thee #2:

I'd like to apologize for the fact that the sequal to Tere Ann Roderick's "I'll See You In My Dreams" does not appear in AIDT #2. To the best of my knowledge, it will appear in T'HY'LA 5. There's no reason for this other than the author chose to submit it to T'HY'LA. I'm sorry for the inconvenience to those of you who were looking forward to reading the sequal here.

Summary

"A/U: After leaving the Genesis planet, Kirk is informed by Sarek that Spock is still alive, and while taking the Ambassador there discovers he is linked to Spock."

Reactions and Reviews

1984

"I'll See You in My Dreams" by Tere Ann Roderick is not yet finished so is a little difficult to judge in its present state. It involves Saavik a little too much for my taste but I freely admit to being biased if not bigoted about that. [1]

I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS by Tere Ann Roderick, a cliffhanging sequel to ST:TWOK, evidently to be continued in AIDT II. Well, it worked; I'm hooked. I HAVE to read the end of that one.... [2]

1988

Tere Ann Roderick contributed two stories. The better one is her alternate post-TWOK tale, 'Til See You In My Dreams". This, along with the other alternate post TWOK material I have ready by her in T'HY'LA 5 represent the best work I have seen by Tere. She took the time to develop her story concepts here, so that the story's believable on its own terms. [3]

1997

It seems strange to comment on a story by giving a view on the sequel, but that is exactly how this turned out. The above title is from the first part, the assumed sequel in T'hy'la 5— "Now it begins; love on its knees, nightmare reality, battle hymn."

I say assumed because I have the distinct impression it's been written by two different people. The storyline begun in AIDT 1 grows out of kilter in the sequel. As if one had forgotten what one had written — hacked in two with a blunt knife and cold and clinical as opposed to caring.

The characters and story are on a different track — a track which leaves me utterly dissatisfied.

A promise begun in the first part hadn't been fulfilled. [4]
