Triad is a Kirk/Spock story by Elwyn Conway and Suzette Therese. It has a sequel called Triad Epilogue.

It was published in the print zine Naked Times #8.

Summary

Chapel is upset when Spock approaches and then kisses her but breaks off when he realizes that his affection is really for another. [1]

Spock has had a bit too much paskahrno to drink at his father’s party, and for once the loneliness is overwhelming. Christine Chapel is nearby and would be more than pleased to assuage that inner ache. In vino veritas? [2]

Reactions and Reviews

"Triad," by Suzette Therese & Elwyn Conway, brings Spock and Christine Chapel as close to 'getting together' as I've ever seen — especially in a K/S zine — without really getting them there. The authors' depiction of Chapel is very convincing. No wimpy, whining, helpless female Christine in this story! Chris is a fully capable, very mature woman who handles the realization of where Spock's affections truly lie with admirable calmness and a sense of resigned inevitability. [3]
