Why this must be read:
Because it's funny as hell, it's hot and it has banter. It's one of the best done "bond" fics I've read. It has Kirk besting Spock in an arguement while keeping both characters in-character. It's incredibly well written and manages to be funny without being silly.
"Well, I trust your logic. You do have the right as my First Officer to request any possible verification of my command fitness." Jim said cheerfully. "Fortunately, I won't have to run the risk of harming you. The ShiKahr is here - I'm sure they have someone who can meld with me. That way, you'll have independent confirmation of my mental state. And they'll find it reassuring to be able to form their own assessment of the Melkotians' sincerity. This wait must be making them nervous."
Spock's near shock at the suggestion prevented an immediate response. The Law of Unintended Consequences had just, as McCoy might have expressed it, 'kicked him in the pants'. An extremely unpleasant vision of James Kirk loose in the galaxy, wandering up to randomly selected Vulcans and suggesting a mind meld for any putatively logical reason transfixed him. It was very possible that he might convince an unwary Vulcan to do it - the man was improbably persuasive. "The fact that it is not dangerous for you and I to meld does not indicate that it would not be dangerous for you to meld with another Vucan. It is dangerous. As dangerous as being in mental contact with the Melkotians - an unknown quantity with the undoubted capacity to damage you, whether intentionally or not."
Jim sighed. "Well, the Vulcans aboard the Shikahr are not an unknown quantity, Spock. I'm sure they have several like you - Vulcans who can meld with anything and anyone, and probably do it for the fun of it. I don't see that there's a problem. Besides, I really do think it will reassure them."
