Rekindling Fire by Jenna Hilary Sinclair (Adult Slash)

Hi, I’m [livejournal.com profile] catalenamara, and I’ll be driving the crack_van for Star Trek: The Original Series this month. I primarily read Kirk/Spock, so most of my recommendations will be for that pairing.

Fandom: STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES
Pairing: Kirk/Spock

Why this must be read:

“Rekindling Fire” picks up where STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE left off.

The first scene in this story has incredible emotional impact. Spock has been ordered back to Vulcan on Starfleet business. Both Kirk and Spock are determined to take what little time they have to speak some truths to each other, complex truths of love and lust and pain and anger. But Spock has one final, devastating truth for Kirk – even as he admits his love for Kirk, he reveals that they can never be lovers.

Kirk is reluctant to accept this – but he knows he must have Spock back in his life, on whatever terms that Spock is willing to grant him. When Spock returns from his mission to Vulcan, they have a small interlude of time to pick up the pieces of their friendship. Then an outside force intervenes – a force which almost destroyed Spock before and threatens to do so now.

Jenna’s writing is superb and utterly satisfying. She is a master at plotting dramatic, intense, emotionally complex stories. Her stories so vivid I experience them as if I were watching them on the movie screen.
