Coals of Fire by Jat Sapphire (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR TREK
Pairing: Kirk/Spock, Kirk/OFC

Why this must be read:
Because it is so incredibly hot and so beautiful. It's a sequel to Still Amok, the classic Pon Farr story, where Kirk had to "help" Spock. This has, understandably left them in an incredibly awkward place, neither of them sure how exactly to act around each other. Before they have a chance to properly fix it, they're wisked away on a diplomatic mission which then goes rather horribly awry. It should be a recipe for clichés and h/c but somehow it manages to be more than that. In addition, it has a great plot that will drag you in and keep you reading.
"A hero," mused Jim, "and now he's the president . . . and he changed the date of his inauguration."
"Yes, why'd he do that?" asked McCoy. "Only a week earlier, too, so what good could that be?"
Spock, without actually moving any muscle in his face, managed to look completely unconvinced as he said, "The official explanation was that the original date coincided with the most sacred fast of one of the planet's religious sects."
"But you don't believe it?" McCoy was never one to let anything go unspoken, especially by Spock.
"I have no logical reason to disbelieve it. The religious holiday, the observation by fast, is real; it is held on that date every year."
"*Every* year! So it was predictable? No reason to wait until just two weeks beforehand to notice it?" McCoy pressed Spock.
"Yes," Spock agreed. Jim had noticed that lately they had not been baiting each other as often as they sometimes did. Even that touched a nerve, but everything did, now, and it really had nothing to do with - well, yes, it had something to do with Spock, foolish to pretend even for one thought that it didn't.
"There must be rumors. There must be *reasons,*" Jim insisted. "I don't buy the holiday. Something's going on, more than I realized when - " He shook his head. "More than Komack told me. He ordered three starships to this inauguration. He must have expected trouble."
"From the colony, that Altair 5?" asked Scotty.
"Perhaps," said Spock. "Or from disaffected citizens of Altair 6. Apparently several threats have been received, though the exact nature of the threats does not seem to be known."
"Gentlemen, we need better information," Jim said. "Perhaps the Farragut and Constellation crews will know more by the time we get there. We're late for this party, after all. Maybe they'll have taken care of everything for us." His grin said, *fat chance, and we love it that way, don't we?*
