What Our Lives Again Could Be
Title: What Our Lives Again Could Be
Author: tocourtdisaster
Artist: shinychimera
Mixer: emmypenny
Series: AOS AU
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Winona Kirk, Sam Kirk, Ayel, Nero, James Kirk, Leonard McCoy, supporting ensemble (background Winona/Nero, Winona/Ayel UST, eventual Sam/McCoy)
Rating: R
Word Count: 27,185
Warnings: violence (both implied and explicit), language, UST, [highlight for spoilers] non-explicit scenes of torture, major and minor character deaths, bittersweet ending
Beta: green_postit, who alternately held my hand and cajoled me into writing and who helped me trim some superfluous language at the last minute.
Disclaimer: Star Trek doesn't belong to me and will never belong to me. This story was written for entertainment purposes only and I am deriving no profit from it.
Notes: Many thanks to shinychimera and emmypenny for being so awesome and coming up with art and a fanmix, respectively, that perfectly complement and enhance this story. Thanks also go to the ladies at jim_and_bones for the support and the word wars that kept me writing when all I wanted to do was throw this story out. I played with the timelines more than just a little, drawing from both TOS and AOS canon to get the best fit for the story I wanted to tell; we'll just file that under the heading of 'AU.' All information on Romulan society comes from either Memory Alpha/Beta or my imagination. Since there’s been no canon consensus on Sam Kirk’s birthday, I’ve gone with the date given in “Echoes of Yesterday,” that of September 7, 2229.
Title comes from "As Far As the Mind Can See, Pt 3: They Know We Know" by Spock's Beard.
Summary: When Winona Kirk's shuttle is captured by the Narada just moments after the destruction of the U.S.S. Kelvin, the very flow of history is changed once again, eventually leading to Sam Kirk entering into the role of unwitting hero.
