Beside the Wells, by Jess (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR TREK: TOS
Pairing: withheld
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read:
Alternate Universe stories are a particularly fun part of fanfiction, and for some reason there are a lot of Vulcan-desert-barbarian-slave ones in Star Trek fanfic. This story is a classic exploration of that theme. The author, Jess, describes it as: "On an alien, desert planet a human is captured and sold." But what effect will this human, and his very different strengths, have on his captor? Bitter and lyrical, this short story speaks of regret and that which might have been.
There are two versions - read them both and see which you like better.
Beside the Wells, Version 1
Beside the Wells, Version 2
