Partitions is a Kirk/Spock story by Callie St. John

It was published in Charisma #1.

Summary

Sequel to All Our Yesterdays. After Sarpeidon, Spock contends with an unknown illness and the barrier that seems to be building between him and Kirk. "He broke into action, taking the stairs several at a time and bust into the dimly lit hallway just in time to see two burly humanoids trying to wrestle the resisting Kirk back into the cover of a room. Spock's hand gripped one of the men's large shoulders and tightened. The man slumped to the floor. The other neck-chopped Kirk who immediately sank to the floor."

Reactions and Reviews

[part of a longer review]: In “Partitions”, Spock picked up an ancient flu virus in “All Our Yesterdays” and is out of sorts. Kirk is jealous of Spock possibly chatting up a childhood friend. McCoy is worried that making it with Zarabeth in “All Our Yesterdays” awaked Spock’s lurve and now he’s a lurve machine and they’ll have to deal with that or something. This story is rather… meandering. People make a lot of low-level bad decisions, and it goes on for some time, but finally resolves with Kirk figuring out wtf he wants and telling Spock and Spock being like great, that’s what I also want, lovely (no sex). Again, this is not an offensively bad story, but I don’t think it’s good either, and it doesn’t appeal to me much.
