Second-Best Destiny, by KCS (Gen, PG-13)
Title: Second-Best Destiny
Author: KCS (kcscribbler )
Beta(s): protectorgf (Protector of the Gray Fortress)
Artist: lecri
Fanmixer: wyntreaurora
Series: XI, with elements of TOS and TNG (not really a crossover, just with characters from those 'verses)
Character/Pairing(s): Kirk, Spock, Q, TOS Spock and Kirk, various crew cameos
Rating: PG-13, but only for (apparent) character death
Word Count: 50,800+
Warnings: Brief (apparent) character death. Spoilers for various TOS episodes and movies, mainly The Wrath of Khan and Generations. Minor spoilers for various TNG episodes including Sarek and Unification, creative license with both serieses and their characters. All references to any of the three universes has been footnoted for those who aren't Trekkers across the board.
Disclaimer: If I owned any of this, I would have the XI actors contracted for an AOS TV series by now.
Author's Note(s): Way too long for here; see master post for full A/Ns, including gushing over my beta, artist, and mixer, who are all made of ten kinds of awesome. Basically, you should know I'm a die-hard TOS fan and Old!Alone!Nimoy!Spock makes me so sad I wrote a novel-length fanfic to fix that. Obsessed much, y/y?
Summary: "Whatever our lives might have been, our destinies have changed." -- AOS Spock, ST:XI "You once said being a starship captain was my first, best destiny. And, if that's true, then yours is to be by my side." -- Deleted Shatner scene from ST:XI, original reference to ST:II, The Wrath of Khan.
Destiny requires the existence of universal constants. Is the multiverse governed by random chance, or is it held together by the threads of universal constants - and if the latter, are Kirk and Spock two of them? With their universe threatened by the Q Continuum, AOS Kirk and Spock must discover how similar and yet how very different they are from their TOS counterparts, with highly unexpected results - including the reunion of two iconic figures having been parted for over ninety-five years.
