Sep. 4th, 2026 09:27 amI'm trying to track down more info on VCR vidding in femslash fandom (I assume Katharine and Tarae weren't the only people who made analog femslash vids).

Summary: Criminally few New Frontier works on the internet!! Here is a little rendition of what might have happened in those 5 minutes before the Excalibur blew up between Dark Allies and Requiem. I made an effort to include all details Shelby dropped in Restoration, if there are notes on this in later books then I don't know about them because I have not read any further yet.
What must Spock be going through, after all that on Vulcan? Their forced contest apart, he’d been rejected, in front of so many witnesses, by his haughty long-time betrothed. Even if a fellow wasn’t in love with a spouse, that would be hard to assimilate. Humiliating. And what about all that sexual tension built up over such a long time? Had it really been expended by their battle? Was Spock truly rid of his unsatiated need?
If Spock had been anybody else Kirk could have approached him and coaxed him into confidence—except, if he was anybody else among Kirk’s friends, he would not be a half-human Vulcan in the aftermath of a broken pon farr. Kirk imagined going to him, making some rational argument for why they needed, freely, frankly, privately, to discuss what they’d been through.
Talk about ... he winced at his own jargon ... possible next steps.
