Odd Man Out is a Kirk/Spock/McCoy story written by Lynn Shomei.

It was published in the print zine As I Do Thee #8.

Summary

"Spock has waited a long time for Kirk to come to him, to admit his feelings. It's been a long, difficult wait... during which the Vulcan has turned to another friend for comfort and understanding. Now it's time to leave that comfort, to say goodby to one friend and hello to another."

Reactions and Reviews

ODD MAN OUT by Lynn Shomei is, as the editor warns in the editorial, a K/S/Mc story. These types of stories generally do not appeal to me, but this one is extremely well written and effectively disturbing. The ending kind of leaves you up in the air, though, and I would like to see a sequel to it. [1]
