Summary: After losing his mother and home world, Spock needs a vacation.

This was a mix of seriousness and fun: insight and angst, friendship and laughter.

(2) The Benefits of Rigid Thinking (Star Trek: Reboot)

Summary: Kirk is directed to return some stolen artifacts to New Vulcan - but of course nothing goes smoothly where Vulcans are concerned.

This story is more serious than the previous one; also shorter. But still good.

Spock is self-controlled in the face of provocation, and Kirk rushes in where angels fear to tread, prompted by intuition and a sense of justice.
