startrekficfinderI'm looking for a story I wanted to re-read, but can't find.
It's TOS and Jim decides to partake in a Vulcan tradition with Spock which consists of going out into the desert, kind of like a coming-of-age ritual. Spock mentioned this to him in the past, but left out a few important facts.
The Vulcans allow him to do it. For the beginning of the quest he is partnered with a Vulcan female.
The desert quest is actually for bondmates and couples. The partners are left at different places in the desert and have to find their way back to each other using their mind link. The female Vulcan teaches Jim about the desert, how to find water etc. she is stung by an insect and he keeps her alive until Spock and her bondmate come.
Does anyone know which story I mean?
