On a Vulcan where Surak’s Reforms never happened, the warrior Spock acquires a Human slave.

This story was originally published in 1981 in the print fanzine The Price and the Prize.

“While most of my recommendations have been for old stories, this one is definitely the oldest. It was originally published in a print zine (anyone remember those?) in 1981! It’s now available online, with permission from the author, courtesy of the “Foresmutters Project”, which makes old slash stories (primarily Kirk/Spock) available online for the first time… “The Prize” is one of my favorites of these old stories, and stands up very well against modern fanfiction. It considers an alternate universe, one in which Surak’s reforms never happened on Vulcan. In this world, the warrior Spock acquires a human slave. It’s a very interesting look at what would happen to the essential characters of Kirk and Spock if they instead lived under very different circumstances. Spock’s characterization, in particular, is carefully drawn and quite consistent with his portrayal on the show.” (x)
