In the Mirror Universe, after Kirk is taken from his home and sent to Starfleet Academy, he meets a Vulcan upperclassman with whom he has a deep and instant affinity.

Published in the print fanzine Nome #11 in 1988.

“A really good Mirror Universe story. I liked the picture of Kirk as the slum boy sent to the Academy to become a spy. And the instant rapport between him and Spock was almost the only reason two such disparate people could become friends. The delicate balance of their friendship in that place was handled extremely well. I’d like to see a sequel.” (x)
