Author's Summary: Pike finds out how very like his father Jim Kirk is—and how he is different.

Review:
A very interesting look at Pike's relationship with the two Kirks, George and Jim, past and present.

Souvenirs is a fairly short piece and therefore does not have a fully developed plot, but what really intrigues me are the things that are not said. This is the sort of story that naturally invites readers to search between the lines, fill in some blanks, and freely explore all the possibilities. Personally, I would love to hear the stories about George Kirk that Pike tells Jim.

The ending is somewhat bittersweet, but I'm still hoping that the author (or someone else) will pick up the 'verse and expand it.
