The Storyteller is a K/S story by Kate Sheridan.

Chris Soto for "The Storyteller" -- "So many beautiful pieces in this zine from this extraordinary artist to comment on. First of all, the seductive Kirk in blue jeans on page 44. With that "come-hither" look, my heart just melts (or is that race?). Great pose, perfectly done with grace and style."

It was published in the print zine First Time #43.

Summary

"Kirk slugs McCoy when, after a night of drinking, McCoy taunts him about his love for Spock, and the next day McCoy demands that Kirk tell Spock or he will press charges."

Reactions and Reviews

Kirk as storyteller, specifically of the erotic kind, is woven into this unusual story of Kirk's unspoken desire for his "very male, very Vulcan first officer".

McCoy serves as the feisty catalyst for K and S to admit their feelings. Some good dialogue between Kirk and McCoy except for the many and varied descriptions such as "the other man", "the older man", "the younger man", etc. These are fine when used spanngly. but I think we needed some "doctor" or "captain" at least.

Much of the writing captivated me. Lines such as: "He couldn't look at Spock. Instead, he studied his own bare toes, wishing he had on shoes. Wishing he had on underwear."

I loved Spock's smooth manner when he first encounters Kirk in his cabin. Spock's easy acceptance of the situation proved highly enjoyable and you'd better believe that it did not pass my attention that Spock insinuates he is not "inexperienced".

And hey! Not bad at all in the sex department! Not bad at all.... Including a wonderful moment when Kirk found being held by Spock was "both calming and arousing" and the relief Kirk feels because his "dark secret" is out in the open.

And I engaged in my requisite carpet-thrashing when faced with some lovemaking that included this: "...the Vulcan very carefully pulled off just enough so that the head of the human's cock rested on the center of his tongue, pulsing its cream into the hot mouth where it was eagerly tasted and swallowed."

Even though I couldn't exactly figure out what Spock was doing to Kirk at a certain point, I loved it whatever it was.
