Summary: “There's moments in your life that make you, that set the course of who you're gonna be. Sometimes they're little, subtle moments. Sometimes they're not. I'll show you what I mean.” * This is the story of Jim Kirk, not as he might have been in another world, but who he is becoming in this one, and these are the people and encounters that change him along the way.
