Still Amok by Jat Sapphire (NC-17)
Hi, I'm Bradamante, back with some more great Star Trek stories to share with all of you! I'll be recommending mainly slash stories, and mostly older gems that may not have been seen by those in the livejournal-world.
Fandom: STAR TREK: TOS
Pairing: Kirk / Spock
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: jat_sapphire's story pages
Why this must be read:
Pon Farr stories are certainly a cliche in Kirk/Spock slash, but when done well they can be an interesting expansion of what was shown in the actual episode. "Still Amok" follows the infamous "Amok Time" episode - Kirk and Spock are back safely on the Enterprise, T'Pring has been foiled, but is Spock's Pon Farr really over? It's a realistic view of how Spock, and Kirk, might react to circumstances beyond their control.
The sequel, "Coals of Fire", is a fabulous episode-length story that follows immediately on the events of "Still Amok". It has political intrigue, great original characters, an interesting plot, and some serious hurt/comfort...and the happy ending that is denied the reader at the end of "Still Amok". Both are well worth reading. The author also has a few other prequels set in the same universe on her "Star Trek: The Original Series Fiction" page. Well-written and intriguing, these stories truly take you beyond the episode.
