Most of these are pretty much the pair agonizing over their love, not
much plot, nor even much consummation. Nothing compelling here, and the
zine is insufficiently proofed.
- "The Morning Moon" (p.4-19) / Wheaten
Buckly
- On a frustrating diplomatic mission, Kirk finds himself
drifting off into daydreams of Spock, and forces a discussion of their
relationship, promising honesty. Fade out on their first time together.
- "The Jaws of Night" (p.20-29) / Kathy
Tipton
- Mirror Spock and Mirror Kirk confront their desire
for one another, taunting one another. Most interesting bit is that
this Spock would have settled for Kirk in Janice Lester's body –
but didn't take her when he had the chance. Spock insists on commitment;
Kirk gives in, with the implication that their love will light their
dark universe.
- "Crystal Wall" (p.32-58)/ Kathy
Tipton
- Best plotted of this zine, until it all turned into
a dream. Spock rescues an asphyxiated Kirk from a crystal cage, only
to have him fall unconscious in the shuttle, and docks the shuttle on
Enterprise only to find himself back outside the crystal cage, another
Kirk asphyxiating within. Yet a third Kirk comes on the scene and shoots
the other two. Back in reality, we find that McCoy is doing psych-therapy
on him. The three all review Spock's dreams and discuss the meanings.
All ends well with Kirk and Spock falling into bed together..
- "Star God" (p.60-80) / Carol
Turner
- In an alternate universe, Kirk stumbles across a
young, mute, telepathic Spock who has been cut off from his society
for his imperfection. Their telepathic intimacy leads Spock to join
him in the stars after Kirk convinces a mean Sarek to grant permission.
Fade out on the two on the floor of Kirk's scoutship. .
- "The Color Green" (p.45-50) / Carol
Turner
- Mirror universe s & m story, with Mirror Kirk
taunting and sexually threatening Mirror Spock, who finds it arousing.
- "Dear Devil" (p.88-102) / Susan
Delon
- Spock is stranded on a planet where he becomes their
pet, honored, beloved devil. When Kirk finally finds him, one of the
aliens encourages the captain to declare himself to the Spock. He does,
and is received joyfully. Fade out...
- * "Beside Myself III" (p.45-50) / Robin
Hood
- This, despite poor proofing, was worth the rest of
the zine. A transporter accident splits Spock into his human and Vulcan
halves, and Kirk discovers it's the Vulcan side he likes better, though
it's the human side who has a crush on him. A fun idea, well executed.
