The 25th Year: Days of Future Passed is a Kirk/Spock story by Alexis Fegan Black.

It was published in the print zine The 25th Year where it was part of an interconnected series of stories.

Excerpt

"For me?" Kirk asked, all innocence, when Spock sat down and handed him a small box. But as he carefully cracked the lid and peeked inside, his brows narrowed with deeper curiosity. Impulsively, he laid the lid aside and lifted out the perfectly formed, utterly flawless crystal. It fit perfectly into the palm of his hand - cool and warm at the same time. Power. Light. Infinity itself. "A starship's heart," he murmured, his eyes filling."

Reactions and Reviews

'The 25th Year: Days of Future Passed' by Alexis Fegan Black brings the entire zine back to the beginning as we watch Kirk and Spock 'the morning after' their long night of reminiscing. We also see Spock gift Kirk with a dilithium crystal and the offer to bend space and time to revisit their own lives. I found this last element to the story a bit outside the rest of the zine and the story isn‘t as satisfying an ending to a very long zine as I would have liked to see. The whole zine might have been better served without this final discussion between Kirk and Spock.
