Journalist by day, fiction writer by night (and any other time I can squeeze out of the 24 hours). Rediscovered Trek last year after a long absence and will always be a TOS fan at heart. I've written some Trek stories that don't belong in the K/S fanfiction archive. Google louiseb and you'll find them in fanfiction.net.
"A joyless smile, a shuttered look, a turn of shoulders. Is this how friendship ends?" Set after "The City on the Edge of Forever". Spock fears the worst.
"Friendship and pain. He hasn't always thought of them as connected. He'd spent so long looking for the subtleties he'd missed the obvious; open is just another word for vulnerable."
Post TWOK and Kirk has lost everything that matters to him. He seeks to escape from his memories and from a guilt that haunts him but has to deal with an unwelcome visitor. A mixture of angst and flashback. This is about friendship and grief. It's not overtly slash and it does feature Chapel -- you have been warned.
Set just after "The Enemy Within". What would it be like to face your dark side? No, think about it. What would it really be like? And how will recent events affect Spock and Kirk's developing friendship?
NOW COMPLETE.
James Kirk is fearless. At least that's his reputation and it's been earned. But standing here, in this chamber of horrors, the captain fears three things - losing his crew, losing his command and losing his first officer. His friend.
Something is very wrong with the colony on Deneb III.
In style of classic TOS with its roots in a classic TOS episode.
