Reactions and Reviews

I love this story about an alternate Kirk and Spock who are mercenaries. Elizabeth portrays both characters the way I like them. Kirk is proud and courageous. Spock is a man of imposing stature, yet at the same time he can be vulnerable. I'd also like to say that I haven't seen any military oriented K/S this good since "SECOND ACTION" by Addison Reed (Within the Mirror 1).

Again, if Alternate Universe stories are not generally your thing, this story, also—in fact, this zine— is for you. This particular story is so nicely done and done with such feeling, that it just swept me away. The extra-added bonus is that Kirk and Spock are right in character—a common complaint with A/U stories being that they are unrecognizable.

The story opens with Kirk in a bar with a bunch of paramilitary pilots who all engage in war games with their own private ships—constantly challenging one another and vying for top gun.

Spock, all in black—cool, dark and mysterious—enters the bar and wagers with Kirk that he can beat him at a war game. The stakes being Kirk's highly desirable body in Spock's highly desirable bed. Oh boy.

Of course Kirk is furious that this Vulcan should think or want such a thing, but of course he is not one to turn down a challenge. Of course.

All the ships that these players use are a reflection of their sexual identity and indeed, the flying, fighting and competition is all blatantly sexual. Boy, is it ever!

Naturally, Spock's ship is gleaming ebony with silver, Spock keep baiting Kirk and Kirk keeps biting. Some wonderful dialogue here, dripping with sexual undertones (more like overtones) such as when Kirk says: " 'Don't count on it, Spock. I intend to survive and to ream your ass from here to the Tenesar nebula.' " And Spock answers: " 'The only questions are whose ass will be the subject and whether the activity will occur in the skies or in my bed,' "Double oh boy!

So much drop-dead sexy dialogue like when Spock says: " 'Despite my earlier comment, I would much prefer the pleasure of mastering you myself rather than having others do it for me. " Time for some serious thrashing on the carpet.

The author has done a great job creating the reality of the fighting and the ships and all the necessary technology. But with a wonderful difference. And boy—viva la difference! This is "sex in space", let me tell you! Foreplay amongst the stars. Penetration in the cosmos. You get the idea. What an ideal

Kirk and Spock engage in such a sensual, jaw-dropping sexual dance in space that even some bystanders lyes, there was some passing cruise ship or something) got an eyeful....

Of course. Kirk has an erection the whole time. And it was also very hot in the room where I was reading.

The rest of the story—that ended way too soon because I loved it so much (but also because it was such a great idea and could have supported more story) brings these two gorgeous, charismatic guys together. The sexual tension between them just sizzled—their dialogue filled with innuendoes. Then the innuendoes stop being innuendoes and when Spock beholds Kirk's nakedness, he exclaims; " "A warrior's organ. As I knew it would be." Oohhmygod!

There's lots of purple prose in their lovemaking scene, but hell if I cared. Check this out: 'This' Spock said, caressing the length of his own penis, 'will make you know that indeed you are a true warrior.' He climbed into the bed, sought the still swollen lips again to bedew them with a score of fervent kisses.

Oh and to add to the continuing list of lubricants and their containers—Spock coats his fingers from a small silver jar of cream. And Kirk even thrashes. But he thrashes on the bed. not on the carpet.

The image of the space war games was carried through so beautifully into their lovemaking, I just adored this story.

This also I reviewed back in 1995, and I couldn’t resist sharing it with everyone. It’s considered a classic K/S story and one of my all-time favorites by one of the best K/S authors.

This is an “alternate-universe” story and is in Scattered Stars which is a zine for A/U stories only. The story opens with Kirk in a bar with a bunch of paramilitary pilots who all engage in war games with their own private ships—constantly challenging one another and vying for top gun. Spock, all in black—cool, dark and mysterious— enters the bar and wagers with Kirk that he can beat him at a war game. The stakes being Kirk’s highly desirable body in Spock’s highly desirable bed. Oh boy.Of course Kirk is furious that this Vulcan should think or want such a thing, but of course he is not one to turn down a challenge. All the ships that these players use are a reflection of their sexual identity and it’s all a clever comparison to guys and their cars today. Spock’s ship is gleaming ebony with silver and he keeps baiting Kirk and Kirk keeps biting. Some wonderful dialogue, dripping with sexual undertones (more like overtones) such as when Kirk says: “Don’t count on it, Spock. I intend to survive and to ream your ass from here to the Tenesar nebula.” And Spock answers: “The only questions are whose ass will be the subject and whether the activity will occur in the skies or in my bed.” Oh boy, oh boy. And more drop-dead sexy dialogue like when Spock says: “Despite my earlier comment, I would much prefer the pleasure of mastering you myself rather than having others do it for me.” Time to thrash on the carpet. Ms. Scott has done a great job creating the reality of the fighting and the ships and all the necessary technology. But with a wonderful difference—viva la difference! This is “sex in space”! Foreplay amongst the stars. Penetration in the cosmos. Thrash again on the carpet. Kirk and Spock engage in such a sensual, jaw- dropping dance in space that a voyeuristic passing cruise ship gets an eyeful. And when Spock sends a message to Kirk saying “Ready for entry,” I fell down. Of course, Kirk has an erection the whole time and it was very hot in the room where I was reading. The rest of the story (that ended way too soon because I loved it so much) brings these two gorgeous, charismatic guys together. The sexual tension between them just sizzled—their dialogue filled with innuendoes. Then the innuendoes stop being innuendoes and when Spock beholds Kirk’s nakedness, he exclaims: “A warrior’s organ. As I knew it would be.” Pick me up because I fell down. There’s lots of purple prose in their lovemaking scene and I loved every bit of it and the image of the space war games was carried through beautifully.

I just adored this story.

Alternate universe stories are not for everyone. For me the determining factor has always been how closely Kirk and Spock can be kept in character. If I can see beneath the surface to the characteristics that make our intrepid captain and first officer the men they are, I can enjoy seeing them in different circumstances facing various new challenges. SS 5 is filled with wonderful stories, poetry, and art that examine our favorites through another set of lenses.

'The Last Game' is a rather famous AU K/S story. Both Kirk and Spock are mercenaries, albeit principled ones. In this time and place, wars are fought by hiring bands of men to do the fighting for planetary governments, that sit back and watch. As the story begins, the mercenaries are taking a few days off from warfare to play their own games. They complete in what is essentially a game of laser tag fought with spaceships. Naturally Kirk and Spock square off against each other as the best of the best. Spock has made Kirk a wager: if Spock can best him, Kirk will go to his bed. In return if Spock loses, he, his men, and ships will be put at Kirk‘s disposal. This creates some wonderful sexual tension between them. It‘s obvious that Spock is drawn to the handsome buccaneer, but Kirk is also drawn inexorably to Spock‘s dark magnetism...and he doesn‘t understand why.

This story is so well plotted and quickly paced that even with repeated rereading it holds the reader‘s attention. Very enjoyable!

A nice story in an excellent zine. In this AU, Kirk, an elite mercenary, is challenged in a spacecraft fight by legendary mercenary commander Spock. The stakes? Spock's entire army....or Kirk's body for the night. Very nice tension, especially on Kirk's side who's both distrustful and strangely compelled by Spock, something he doesn't want to admit. Both charismatic and used to win, the two men are excellent matches for each other in wits and skills. Intriguing AU world.
