Reactions and Reviews
A lovely story starting on Vulcan after Spock’s fal-tor-pan and ending after bringing the whales to the future, or the present. So many beautiful scenes and moments with wonderfully interwoven dialogue from the movie. Kirk and Spock had been bonded before the events of Spock’s death and now he struggles to remember not only his past life, but the true nature of his relationship with Kirk. When Kirk and the crew prepare to leave Vulcan, he decides to go with them. A nice little touch of Kirk realizing how much he cherishes hearing Spock snore. Finally Kirk confronts Spock with what they were to each other. Spock can’t handle it and runs away from Kirk and his feelings. I loved how supportive McCoy was and especially Uhura, a character I love seeing. All the events of saving the whales and returning home are chronicled with a very exciting and nicely emotional scene when they crash in the bay and watch as the whales are freed. But the best of the story is afterwards when finally Kirk and Spock are together. “I used to call you…t’hy’la.” And they have beautiful, loving sex. A very good combination in the scene of hot sex and loving feelings and I liked the urgency of their need to meld.[1]
A story that captures a very emotional time for Kirk. A miracle has occurred; Spock has come back to life. Certainly Kirk is pleased but, "he had watched the Vulcan's back, the thin build and graceful carriage so achingly familiar, as his friend had vanished from his view, but Spock had not acknowledged him again, not then, not since." This sentence for the second paragraph set the tone for the story. A long sentence, but simple in concept. Yet it pulls the reader into the story. We feel Kirk being shut out as he watches Spock's 'back.' We see the love in the physical description, flattering, yet truthful, Kirk very aware of the body. Yet Spock leaves him and doesn't turn back. For most of the story Kirk struggles with wanting to be truly happy with just the fact that Spock is alive while suffering the pain of losing his love, possibly forever. So many little details here showing the every day detail [2]
