Star Trek XI story: "Still Waters [the Hypothetically Speaking Extended Dub]"; K, S, gen

[cimorene]

Today is the author reveal for remixredux09; this was my contribution.

Still Waters [the Hypothetically Speaking Extended Dub], a remix of medie's Still Waters.
Star Trek: XI. Post-movie. Kirk, Spock, Spock Prime; gen with canon pairings. ("Still Waters" is a Spock-was-always-a-woman AU, and is Kirk/Spock. This remix, being transposed back onto canon, contains only an echo of that pairing.)
Warning: (skip) Contains alcohol and adult situations as well as mention of recreational drug use. References genocide which occurred in the movie.
Summary: How Jim got command of the Enterprise.
Thanks to effex for beta.

"But I will say one thing for sure: you've inspired a hell of a lot of loyalty in the crew. Commander Spock has spoken with me personally, and he hasn't stopped there, either. I'd say that you've been lucky to win his confidence, but I know Commander Spock too well to attribute it to luck. With his connections," said Pike, and trailed off significantly, leading to something he clearly assumed Jim knew. Jim didn't know: he knew almost as little about Spock's connections as he did about tin roofing, and Pike couldn't possibly be talking about Lieutenant Uhura.

Cool way to recontextualize the original in the Reboot canon verse! I especially liked Kirk flirting with Vega Blue for info.

Haha thanks! I love when Kirk goes all Mata Hari for the good of the mission: one of my favorite parts of the character is that his sexuality is so focused on seducing and ruthlessly using his wiles to get what he wants.
