What Part of Forever: Chapter Four
Wow, I'm FINALLY POSTING THE NEXT CHAPTER. I am so very sorry for the delay in posting time; RL has been utter madness, but I have prevailed! Last chapter coming very soon! (No, really.) In the meantime, enjoy.
Title: What Part of Forever (Chapter 4)
Author & Mixer: Kairi (feels_like_fire) Did my own mix for this, which you can find here.
Artist: kauniainen did a beautiful piece of artwork that you can see HERE, I will make sure she sees all of your comments!
Betas: This fic would not EXIST if it were not for the efforts of tmysha, rainjewel, and linzeestyle. I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH. Additionally, for this chapter, I abused the good graces of circ_bamboo.
Series: AOS/Reboot, pre-Academy slight AU
Character/Pairing(s): Kirk/Spock, McCoy, Rand, Chapel, Pike, Winona Kirk, Sarek, T'Pring, Harry Mudd, with cameos by Scotty and Number One
Rating: NC-17 overall
Word Count: ~85k total; this part, 12,760.
Summary: Vulcan is considering seceding from the Federation; Spock decides now is a good time to catch up on being Human. So he hires Jim Kirk as his guide, with predictable results. Pretty Woman redux, now with more sex. In this chapter, there's trouble in paradise when Jim and Spock return from the trip to Spock's grandparents' house, and the secession hearing looms larger every day.
Snippet: At the mention of Spock, Jim scowled and took another pull on his beer. "Fuck Spock," he said darkly.
McCoy stared. "Oh, really," he said after a moment. "I think you'd better keep talking, Jim."
So Jim did. His story went through the rest of the beers McCoy had already gotten out and most of a second round, and by the time Jim was done McCoy was thinking wistfully about his bottle of Jim Beam back in his room. But two beers was more than he'd planned to drink at all today, and Jim did not exactly need help in the fuzzy thinking department right now. McCoy was already wishing he hadn't given Jim anything alcoholic to drink at all, but short of forcing Jim to wear a shirt that lit up every time someone committed injuries upon his person, McCoy could not really be expected to keep track of Jim's continuing adventures in head trauma.
Chapter One. Chapter Two. Chapter Three. Interlude. The art. The mix.
