Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a Star Trek: TOS K/S story by Alice Mills.

It was published in Fantasies.

Summary

"Kirkʼs fantasies of Spock, as he decides who will go out to meet the giant amoeba, create unexpected feelings in the watcher. Prequel: Down for the Count."

Reactions and Reviews

The Alice Mills story, "Tomorrow and Tomorrow", is conceptually weak, however. It follows her story "Down For The Count", which is essentially a fantasy of Kirk's in which he dominates Spock. "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" starts off seeming to be Spock's fantasy about dominating Kirk, but becomes an echo of the episode "The Immunity Syndrome". Before I realized this, I wondered why Spock would fantasize Kirk ordering him to his death. It didn't make too much sense, but Alice's explanation makes even less sense. Now I must reveal the story's ending if I am going to discuss it properly, so I am issuing a SPOILER ALERT. Do not read the rest of this paragraph if you haven't read "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" and don't want to know how it ends. It turns out that the alien stealing the fantasies has latched on to the future of Kirk and Spock rather than a fantasy. Alice doesn't tell us how an alien scanning their minds could retrieve information that neither of them know themselves. END SPOILER ALERT.
