Cadet Kirk is stranded while on a survival course and is found by Spock, a cadet also stranded 5 years earlier.
Originally published in 1985 in the print fanzine As I Do Thee #3.
“After the first fic is written in any fandom, traditional themes (cliche fic, tropes, archetypes – whatever you want to call them) quickly follow. It takes no time at all for any fandom to develop its favorite tropes (often the same tropes, no matter what the fandom)… Then there are authors like Vivian Gates, who can take a long-familiar trope and find an entirely different way to look at it. Vivian was a prolific K/S author in the 80s, and she recently consented to have her work posted onksarchive.com.” (x)

“The story is beautifully written and rings absolutely true to the characterization of Kirk and Spock as seen on aired Trek. There is no excessive hand-wringing on Kirk’s part, and even now almost thirty years after it was published, it still retains its power to impress with its beauty and eroticism. Gayle was the inventor of Spock’s pointed tongue, but more importantly she’s the person to thank for a Vulcan’s double ridges, almost universally accepted today as fan canon. Of that Gayle says: “I wanted to do something both alien and sexy.” I would say she succeeded.” (x)

“A delicate and focused story taking place after ST1 when Spock returns to the Enterprise. Spock and Kirk play chess in Kirk’s quarters and they start talking on intimate terms about their feelings for each other… Of course they don’t finish the chess game. What a wonderful story.” (x)

Spock and McCoy wait for rescue, but first they have to survive the telepathic onslaught of an alien world.

In the aftermath of Balance of Terror, both Kirk and Spock struggle to accept the violence and the deaths. Kirk prowls the ship, disturbed by the knowledge that Spock might have easily died along with Tomlinson. But Spock has a Vulcan ritual to remember the fallen, and in the dark cocoon of night, he invites Kirk to share it with him.
Originally published in 2001 in the print fanzine Beyond Dreams #3.
“This is a beautifully written story. The whole story is so atmospheric, and really emphasizes that Spock is, after all, an alien, with a different culture and a different way of thinking than humans. The scenes between Spock and Kirk are some of the most loving and erotic I’ve ever read. This story really stayed with me after I finished it.“ (x)

Unaware of their relationship, a delusional woman from Kirk’s past comes aboard the Enterprise.
Originally posted in 1987 the print zine Daring Attempt #9.
“Debbie Cummins has written some wonderful K/S over the years, and this story is one of her best. A Shadow from the Past is very simply written, straightforward in narration and characterization, but it works beautifully. It definitely is an excellent example that an old formula can be very effective. The story does have the feeling of classic hurt/comfort from the 70s with a wonderful 80s K/S twist.“ (x)
