Requital by J S Cavalcante (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES
Pairing: Kirk/Spock, Spock/Chapel
Author on LJ: j_s_cavalcante
Author Website: None
Why this must be read:
Some of the most powerful slash stories are those set from the perspective of a person outside the relationship. “Requital” is from the POV of Christine Chapel and is set immediately after the episode “Return to Tomorrow”. In that episode, Chapel and Spock ‘shared consciousness together’. And during that sharing, they learn certain truths about each other.
The story opens with Spock visiting Chapel. He intends to find some way to make amends for what he learned in her mind: that Henoch raped her while that entity was in possession of Spock’s body. Chapel, in turn, has learned that she and Spock have something in common: unrequited love. As much as she loves Spock, he loves Kirk. But he has never found the ability to tell Kirk what he feels.
Their meeting is a catalyst for change for both of them.
J S Cavalcante’s writing is powerful, lyrical, beautiful. Go here...
