Reverie is a Star Trek: TOS story by Thetis.
It was published in the print zine Obsczine.[1]
Summary
A sparse tale of Romulan intrigue: Spock and Christine go under cover (have some PG-rated sex), their ship crash lands and Christine is mortally injured; Spock kills her out of mercy and lives to return to the Enterprise.
Reactions and Reviews
"Reverie" by "Thetis" is mostly written like a summary or report—which it is—or Spock's espionage mission on a Romulan dominated world. He falls in love with his guide and aid, one of the Freedom Fighters. They are captured, then escape, but she is fatally injured. Spock must go on, must escape, so she points the way, then points a phaser to her head, but Spock takes it from her and does it himself, while she smiles bravely at him. He sadly returns to the ship and McCoy's unknowing jibes. This would have been far better had it been written like a story, more fleshed out, the woman kept strong and independant, not "mary-sued".[2]
