Hi, it's my first time posting to this community, so I hope I didn't mess anything up.
I'm looking for a fic I read not long ago, but I can't remember the title or author or even where I read it. It's taking place post the movie, they escaped the black hole and are now limping back to Earth. Because the distress call from Vulcan was so sudden, they have more crew than necessary, it was thought to be a good "learning experience". But the Enterprise didn't get all the supplies she needed for the replicators, so they now face the very real possibility of first strict rationing and then starvation. Starfleet is pretty stretched thin and not all that inclined to help. Jim absolutely refuses to agree to rationing because he's having major flashbacks to Tarsus IV and so takes to complaining up the chain of command until someone, anyone, listens and agrees to help. The next part I remember is Jim in a debriefing (interrogation, rather) with Admirals Archer and Nogura (I think), where they realize Jim was on Tarsus IV and is, in fact, JT, the kid who helped save the rest of the survivors. In the end Archer decides to give Jim the captaincy of the Enterprise on a permanent basis, even though he still has to finish the Academy.
Help, please?
EDIT: Found it.... myself. Google is a friend. I need to remeber that. *Headdesk* I'm also adding a found tag. If I'm stepping on anyone's toes by foing that, please tell me, I'll stop.
