‘Not Light but Warmth’ written by Lynn Syck & Mary Rottler is an add-on to ‘Journey to Babel’. 

With Sarek and Kirk on the mend, everything seems to be getting back to normal, with the one exception- Spock reports McCoy & Kirk for Dereliction of Duty. And then, unknown to Kirk, he also uses a full mind barrier to block off any and all emotion he feels towards his friends. He wants to ensure that Kirk will never risk his life or career, or the lives of the crew, on his behalf again. 

Neither Kirk or McCoy can get through to Spock and stop him taking even more dramatic action, in his bid to be unaffected by his emotions. 

It’s both angsty for Spock and Kirk, both suffering mental and physical anguish and McCoy, while not as deeply affected, is still watching his friends suffer and plays a significant role in the story.  

Worth reading if you can get a copy.

The Day Jim Kirk Died And Was Revived is also, perhaps more famously, remembered as The Day Spock Lost His Proverbial Marbles and nearly killed a superhuman who had fucking regenerative blood, for crying out loud.

Restless as he recovers from the events of the movie, Kirk is somewhat surprised to find himself starting a library.

Following the death of someone special.
