Dvun-tor'ik isha du

A/N: This is a continuation of the series Rubai-yut (Vokaya Halan & Thrap-fam'es nufau 't Du), so read those in the correct order first.

This story has been in my files since Thrap-fam'es nufau 't Du finished and will continue to sit there unfinished until I can figure out where I'm taking this story up til Beyond. (Yes, I know how to include Beyond. I gotta GET there first.) So any input you guys have, suggestions names and such will be a great help into getting there.

So I stress again, this story is unfinished (because I absolutely FAIL at anything romantic past hand holding and more recently kissing) (yeah, what?) Not that I haven't tried. I have!
And to who have been reading my Miraculous Ladybug story will know that I have not had the internet for the past five months. And IN those five months I have touched this story. That's how bad this is. So HELP.

Also, so you know what you're getting into, know this story will now have a trigger's warning please read this story with extreme caution, Tarsus is mentioned and shown on multiple occasions, as well as its damages done to Jim.
As well, if you don't like Authors (AKA me), inserting their own characters, then this continuation is not for you.
AND, if I haven't stressed this enough, this story is unfinished, it has six finished chapters, the seventh of which is unfinished, its current entirety is 54, 200 words. (in perspective, if you've come here just finishing VH and TND, once I've posted the sixth chapter you've read the equivalent of Harry Potter's Prisoner of Azkaban, plus a little extra.)

So this story will need a little help to get it over the little hurdle of the Galfron chapter (yes, GALFRON. HOW.) so we can finish this and get onto Beyond.

My Tumblr for this story is the same as my pen name. And if you haven't considered it, please read this and further chapters on AO3 (under the same name and pen name), as this story will have pictures / drawings attached! Which includes a new cover picture with meaning! Which with fanfic rules can't be seen.

Without more waxing lyrics from me, have an introductory chapter, and tell me how it is. On that note, HI MUM! (SURPRISE!)

Summary: Continuation of Vokaya Halan & Thrap-fam'es nufau 't Du. To understand why you were chosen for time travel, you first must understand the necessity of such an act, then decide if it was worth it. The tales of the USS Enterprise Crews understanding of its pros and cons; and of the choices that were already made that surround them. Does finding out in the first place mean so much, when countless lives could be lost?

Chapter 1 – t'nash-veh Ang'jmizn

I'm wide awake, so what's the point of dreaming when your life is great? Celebrate the feeling. Can't complain about much these days, I believe we'll be okay. We're screaming out: I believe we'll be okay.

The crew learned from very early on that there would be "good" days, and "bad" days, with Jim Kirk as their Captain, and his First Officer Spock. As so happens, their Commanding Officers were from the future which covered the first year of the first of many five year missions Starfleet would conduct.
So, it wasn't a shock to the Command Crew (that consisting of Uhura, Sulu, Chekov as well as McCoy and Scotty) that Jim knew their backstories (and strife) like the back of his hand.
Though, Uhura really couldn't explain the wary yet confused glances he would sometimes give her; but she figured it was something that "hadn't" happened, and if it needed telling, he or Spock would enlighten her (they had yet to) so she didn't worry about it.
Though what did thoroughly annoy (and perhaps a tad sadden) was how little they knew about Jim himself. After the stunt with Marcus (being "dead", pronounced and all) had made them very much protective of their "new" captain and it wouldn't just pain them should they lose their very hyperactive, sometimes very stupid, but always loyal Captain.
They were very sure there would be at least one Vulcan that would not survive being bared such news again.
Sometimes Jim Kirk would be an absolute goofball of the ship that his age would be questionably under that of Chekov and Riley, sometimes those actions were "allowed" by Spock (that was what the crew thought, when in reality Spock couldn't have given a very good reason why he should stop his T'hy'la from such actions), and that would be because it was any action made by Jim Kirk was to be celebrated by the mere fact he functioned.

But, there were "good" days, by the very meaning of such a statement would be because of that day either being, "Shore leave time!" or that particular mission didn't need to be changed.
Of course, direct and indirect changes on the course of the mission that something happened that caused a member of the Enterprise crew to no longer grace her halls. It made them all realise that even with the matter of foresight Jim and Spock possessed, "bad" things still happened.
But there were determined not to let it happen to Jim or Spock;
a pact made in the early days of their voyage after Jim waltzed about as their Captain by the Command Crew.
They had seen the results, ("Once was enough, thank you very much!"), to never want it to happen again.

There were those days when the fact your Commanding Officers were from the future, ("Only one year, damn it!"), so much it kicks you in the teeth and leaves you stumbling in confusion. Jim and Spock had made a point of never particularly coming out with their pre-send back adventures to them, and they made a point of never referencing it on a "bad" day. However, there were always snippets either of them caught when they thought no one else was around.
Another kick in the teeth was the reason why Jim always asked after Vulcan, but was never comfortable around any more than three of the species (and if they weren't the three he knew, he became very nervous with how much he still didn't know about them (but he was doing his best to catch up)).
Other than what they knew about Nero and Marcus being a constant, they didn't know much about what things Jim and Spock were changing.
But they were always looking forward to mission briefings (they became experts in detecting whether or not from those briefings if the day would turn out "good" or "bad").
And they eagerly awaited the mission to Galfron, (Well, most did, McCoy certainly did not).
There were also pretty sure Jim had a phobia of hypos (they semi understood the reasons why for it, pre-set back no withstanding, because McCoy reported Jim had a fear of hospitals and doctors in general already before Marcus "killed" him. (They were also pretty sure they all had a phobia that included McCoy and his hypos)). While sure that Spock had an aversion to hospitals, (and being anywhere Jim wasn't, period).

McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov could safely say that they all had heart attacks when Jim decided to vanish on them altogether, (even more so when Spock could not find him), Spock (later) found this fascinating that Jim could close over his emotions, and quickly defused any outpour (there was) about Jim's welfare, quickly stating that even with Jim's silence he was able to tell of Jim's wellbeing, and that Jim would reappear when he felt like it.
This statement earned a lot of grumbling and bad mouthing from McCoy until such a time Jim graced them with his presence, whereas they all proceeded to pounce on him.

Jim was still very not used to all the Command Crew being on his case about his welfare, he was used to McCoy chasing him down, at some point during pre-send back he somewhat got used to Spock chasing him down instead of the then-usual "You idiot", glare that was previously used on him.
McCoy spent a good decent half hour laughing his lungs out of place when he overheard Jim ask about the crew's reasons and unknowingly/unthinkingly rallied Spock into the group as well.

Of course, any and all information gathered by them about Jim and Spock's pre-adventures was shared openly. So, they all got a kick out of terrorizing Jim about it, in a friendly way of course.

Jim and Spock knew the Crew, especially the Command Crew were onto them for any crumbs they would leave about their adventures, most of which were spilled by Jim (he had a year less over Spock to put things in perspectives of which memory belonged where).
But what they didn't know (but Spock did) was that sometimes laying crumbs was where Jim got his kicks and giggles from. Jim especially liked to bring up Galfron and the "oh, so deliciously-anaphylactic-riddled cake". Every time Jim mentioned Galfron, Spock glared at him and McCoy by now drew an always on hand hypo.

But some missions it would seem that even knowing the terrain, coming from the future didn't help them forgetting, ("Why would I remember!?" Jim ranted. "I was in a coma!")
This particularly worried them.
Spock would just humanly-like roll his eyes, and tell him to be more careful (a running theme that apparently wasn't adhered to, considering how much trouble Jim still managed to get himself into).

It seemed a constant. Jim finding trouble; McCoy and Spock would agree trouble seemed to follow Jim wherever he went.
"How did you manage that?" Uhura asked after being told of Jim's allegiance to trouble.
"The question is, Lieutenant, how will you handle it." Spock answered, and then went back to his meal.
"Damn Hobgoblin! That wasn't the question!" McCoy ranted.
Spock looked to him with such an expression that read it was now.
They dropped the issue, (by meaning they never spoke of it in front of Spock or Jim); they all knew they would have different ways of handling Jim's allegiance to trouble.

The crew got used to Jim being on away teams, even against all the regulations from Starfleet, and considering Spock never brought it up, it must have happened a lot that he got used to it. It never seemed to mind the Vulcan, but Jim would always make a point to communicate to the Enterprise should Spock not accompany him; however rare those missions were. It seemed to the crew that Spock found reasons (excuses) to be on away teams that Jim was on. The crew analysed these confrontations heavily, there was always something they never heard, and from what McCoy would grumble about, it seemed a Vulcan thing. Anyone who had not studied Vulcans (or weren't Uhura) had no idea why those who understood seemed to get giddy (or cry), but most giddy (this confused Jim, a lot).

So, it was without mistake that some (if not most) missions taken on by Jim were always interesting, whether "bad" or "good", they would stick by their Command Crew until they were disbanded.
