* Dreams of the Heart by AbraxisDragon ("What happens when James Tiberius Kirk — the tomcat of the universe who had bedded male, female, human and alien and had always walked away intact, had finally lost his heart; lost it to someone who never would, never could claim it… '(He) started making the rounds of the lowest dives he could find. His sole intention was to get 'Ensign Thurber was negligent.' Kirk stroked his top lip even as it quivered. 'What happened this time?' 'All three of the snakes we were transporting from Escalus IV escaped.' The captain’s arms dropped to his side. 'What?'") (also in Side by Side #17) (1)
*Touch Tomorrow, poetry by Robin Hood (16)
*Soft Kill by Deanna Gray. ("Kirk and Spock both suffer from the same problem after making love during a planet survey. "His attempts at suppressing the pain in his head were failing. Dropping to his knees, he reached for the communicator. His arm hurt and stung as he grasped it. The grid was cracked. Flipping it open, Spock was relieved to find the instrument, while damaged, was functional. Blinking to keep his eyes focused, he was able to find a working frequency.") (17)
*Homecoming, poetry by Helen (95)
*Waiting for Night to End by Elise Madrid ("Spockʼs self-imposed exile comes to end when he feels his bondmateʼs presence in his mind after over seventy-five years of silence. "He pushed back the sadness that engulfed him whenever he thought of Jim. After seventy-eight years it had become habit, and almost easy. For what was sorrow compared to the black shadow of bitterness and despair that was his constant companion? Kirk had often remarked at Spock's innocence of the darker shades of human, and Vulcan, nature. He wondered what his lover would think of his solution to escape the ever-present reminders of that lost innocence.") (96)
*Ghost of Summer, poetry by Robin Hood (125)
