Summaries are by Gilda F.
* The First Level of Hell by Carlin Rae Thorne (On a drunken binge after Miramaneeʼs death, Kirk makes a deal with an artist to transport the man to an uninhabited world in exchange for a picture that will give him “happiness”. "“Why would you want to help me?” Kirk inquired. Mephisto’s smile widened. His black eyes sparkled. “Let us simply say that I understand what you need, what you were feeling when you came into this bar. And, of course, there is a price…” He looked very much like the legendary devil...") (also in Naked Times #13)
* Tight Spaces by Alexis Fegan Black (When war breaks out while Kirk and Spock are planet bound, they take refuge in a buried conduit but problems arise with Kirkʼs claustrophobia and when Spock is poisoned. "Bat wings flittered nearby, but were, in reality, only the patter-slamming of his own heart. Cobwebs brushed Kirk’s face and neck and a spider-light touch caressed his cheek. His rational, adult mind told him it was only Spock’s hand. But his childhood memories conjured images of mutated tarantulas and three-legged rats who had escaped the mouse-trap and now sought revenge. The walls of the earthen tunnel started moving toward him…")
* On Wings of Ice by Alexis Fegan Black (Stranded on a frozen planet when their shuttlecraft is sabotaged, Kirk and Spock share love as they wait for death. "Curled against my side like an animal huddled to its litter mates, Jim was strangely vulnerable, child-like. His question awakened my protective nature. I wanted to hold him like that forever – until we died – and after. It would be a ‘hell of a tale’ for two dead men to tell...") (also in KSX #1)
* To Protect and Serve by Alexis Fegan Black (A/U: Captain Spock is given a gift from his crew to see him through pon farr, a hazel-eyed human who seems too self-possessed to be a slave. " When Spock awoke the next morning, the Fever was gone. And so was Kirk. His prediction had been correct: their friendship had been short-lived...") (also in Charisma #1)
* Speed of Light by Alexis Fegan Black ("Worse than his sudden irrational jealousy of Spock, Kirk found himself even more envious of Erin. Spock obviously did care for her, hadn’t employed lies or pulled punches. He had the courage and the confidence to tell her the truth – something most Starfleet personnel on shore leave rarely did. He would never see her again. Time and space and the universe wouldn’t permit it. It had to hurt. And suddenly, Kirk knew his first officer needed more than the speed of light could ever allow…")
* Years Ago and Forever by Alexis Fegan Black (Kirk fears he may lose Spock forever when, after the fal tor pan, Spock does not remember his bond to Kirk and contemplates returning to Vulcan permanently. " Kirk sighed, feeling just a twinge of the old familiarity between them. “Our past is what we are, Spock,” he explained, trying to see beyond the Genesis eyes. “And… well… you’ve a very important part of my past. And if you’ll believe me… I was a very important part of yours…”) (also in Naked Times #12)
* Rain Dance by Alexis Fegan Black (When Spock realizes that his link to TʼPring is not broken, he tells Kirk that he needs to return to Vulcan to procure another bondmate, but Kirk is uneasy about Spock leaving and not coming back. "Spock felt irrationally, impossibly, wonderfully human, playing like an errant child in the cold winter rain in the barren heart of the desert. It was wrong. Water was precious, not to be played with. Yet the very wrongness of his behavior furled his lust for survival, causing his back to arch with his movements, causing his breath to come in long, deep sighs…") (also in Naked Times #18)
* War Games by Alexis Fegan Black (A mirror universe story (Kirk serves Spock during his pon farr and then enters into a battle of nerves with him, each trying to get the other to confess his feelings first " Spock had killed for him. Not to protect him and not out of loyalty, but out of possessive, dangerous jealousy. And there was something in that realization which brought a vaguely sinister smile to the human’s lips. Spock had killed for him. More than once. And he had killed for the Vulcan… ".) (also in Off Duty #1)
* The Gol Letters by Carlin Rae Thorne (Apart, Kirk and Spock each write letters to each other, each believing that the other will never read them.) (also in Naked Times #18]]
* Someone to Watch Over Thee by James Carlson (Spock, Kirk and an ambassador are given aphrodisiacs by the leader of a hedonistic society and itʼs up to the security men to make sure they get who and what they need.) (also in Naked Times #18)
* Yin and Yang by James Carlson (Spock goes to a martial arts “priest” posted to the Enterprise for instructions in love before going to Kirk to tell him of his feelings for him. Slight Mary Sue.) (also in Naked Times #17)
* Trick or Treat by James Carlson (also in Naked Times #16)
