Reactions and Reviews

1996

Four page story by one of fandom's best. This is more like a narrative poem—filled as it is with lovely romantic language. It takes place right after Miramanee's death and Spock is comforting Kirk while still on the planet. Kirk asked Spock: "Do you think I can ever love anyone who will not go away?'" Such a beautiful, simple question and Spock's heart aches for him. When Kirk tells Spock he would have named the child after him, I got tears in my eyes. Oh and when Kirk says: "Spock, take me home," I wanted to cry. [1]

1997

Not a grief, fresh with rage and anger, full of questions and denial, but an almost seasoned one, an almost at the end one, when one begins to heal and rebounce back to life and living and Spock, giving of himself to help the healing. [2]
