Summary
"A/U: Kirk lands on a backwater planet, and is aided by a Vulcan who comes to mean a great deal to him as they fix Kirk's ship and grow closer."
"In an alternate universe, Kirk stumbles across a young, mute, telepathic Spock who has been cut off from his society for his imperfection. Their telepathic intimacy leads Spock to join him in the stars after Kirk convinces a mean Sarek to grant permission. Fade out on the two on the floor of Kirk's scoutship."
Reactions and Reviews
This is an A/U story, kind of a love-at-first-sight. Kirk lands his ship, called Free Enterprise, on a primitive Vulcan, and right away meets up with one of the natives. He's immediately drawn to the other, with his long, black hair, pointed ears and slanted brows. Spock in turn believes Kirk is a god, according to the old legends among his people. Spock is mute, so they must communicate by mind-touch. Their minds are so attuned, they learn of each other almost instantly, Kirk suddenly knowing Spock's name, his lonely, isolated life, because of his muteness. Spock absorbs Kirk's life among the stars. Then Sarek arrives to investigate what he had seen in the sky where Spock lived. Sarek doesn't approve of Kirk, but Kirk doesn't care, and invites Spock to come away with him. Spock finally stands up to his father arid does go with Kirk. There's no sex in this story and it would have been nice if there were, and it seems to move a little fast, but it's a nice story, still showing the love between the two. There's a very nice picture at the end. I love the way Kirk is holding Spock, how Spock is leaning into Kirk, the long hair on Spock. Very nice. [1]
This story was just a little too strange for me. I found myself not suspending my disbelief which is a necessity for enjoyment of fiction. It was interesting, but for me it didn't quite work. [2]
