Once upon a time, James Kirk had to kill his best friend. Twice upon a time.....

Originally published in Legends 2, by MKASHEF Enterprises. (2002)

On shore leave, Kirk and Spock's new relationship is beginning to come apart at the seams.

Jim wakes up, sob tearing through him like a chainsaw slicing into the bark xylem heartwood.  Chest aching, heart thudding unevenly through his ribcage and in his ears.

NOTE: This story is NOT a sequel to Observations.

summary: Touch, taste, sight, smell, sound. Parallel paths winding, intersecting, and finally coming together. Taste is a shared pleasure.

Jim has a crisis of confidence...

The Enterprise is sent on an emergency mission to Disseminate Beta, an important communications hub for the Federation. Staff have been deserting the planet, and those left behind are filled with an unexplained sense of foreboding.  Kirk’s and Spock’s first steps toward a new relationship are suddenly threatened by the entities and their plans to deal with invaders.

So many people to thank:  First, elfqueen and Ashley for their magnificent images.  Jean and Amy for doing a wonderful job at BETA.  And Tabitha who helped me to include those beautiful images.

This story first appeard in the print zine T'hy'la #32

Jim finally has Spock where he wants him. But not even his wildest fantasies could prepare him for this.

This story is a response to the S/U & K/S Forced Marriage challenge by dreamwind.

Summary: Someone at Starfleet HQ hears about Spock and Uhura and decides to have Uhura transfered off the Enterprise for having an affair with a supirior officer and still being listed under his command. They send the transfer notice to Jim, who knows Spock and Uhura are totally in love, sends a notice back that their information is incorrect. That Spock is in a relationship with him and he does not appriciate HQ using a 'rumor' as a reason to steal away his communications officer. HQ then responds by demanding that Kirk either have Spock transfered off the Enterprise, transfer himself off or that he marries Spock so that there won't be any legal issues that can crop up and prove detremental to his Command or Starfleet.

Spock & Uhura of course are PISSED when they find out what Jim did. Uhura refuses to allow that Spock is transfered off the Enterprise or that he marries their Slutty Captain and demands the Captain have himself transfered off the Enterprise instead.

Anon would prefer that Spock and Jim choose the forced marriage option and that Jim later transfers off the ship once he realizes he is in love with Spock and can't take feeling Spock having sex with Uhura through the marriage bond anymore. Would of course love you even more if somewhere down the road Spock and Uhura break up and Spock realizes what an idiot he is and chases Jim down to where ever he went to lick his wounds.
