Reactions and Reviews

I found myself skating on thin ice with lots of unanswered questions with this story.

Questions like: Where are they? What is the time frame? Is Kirk on convalescence leave? Are they on R&R? What are Uhura and Sulu doing there? Where does that young man-one of the ex-admiral Kirk's staff and recently promoted to captain-come from? Was he just dropping by? Sucking Kirk's cock for old times' sakes? How did he know where to find him? Why would Kirk want to keep his same- sex liaisons a secret?

Perhaps these are immaterial questions, but they interfered badly. I kept looking for an anchor and found none.

Spock's reverence for life is so ingrained that it won't allow him to treat any living creature (like that horse) so irresponsibly and so carelessly.

I loved Spock's delightful, gentle humor. He knows exactly what to say.

Kirk's narrative on how they became lovers is great, but it would've been better if I could've been present.
