Pegasus and the Starman is a Star Trek: TOS story by Joyce Tullock.
It was published in the print zine Galactic Discourse #5.
Summary
It happens to many spacemen. They lose something and became afraid. Kirk believes that it is happening to McCoy and to help him overcame his fear, he orders the doctor to participate in a landing party assignment with Uhura and Scotty. This routine assignment becomes perilous when they are stranded on a research outpost being torn apart by savage winds and influenced by a strange alien.
Reactions and Reviews
McCoy has become fearful, and Kirk assigns him to a rescue mission (with Scott and Uhura) to snap him out of it. They find the missing young scientist, but lose their shuttle and are themselves stranded on the icy and quake-ridden planet. McCoy must lead them in powering and piloting a living spaceship - which drains them all dangerously - in order to return to Enterprise. Rather mystical, with lots of good angst. [1]
Pegasus and the Starman" by Joyce Tullock [is] a long fascinating tale of McCoy's encounter with a unique alien. Joyce handles the impossible task of writing believable non-humanoid aliens so well that I think she should go pro. [2]
