Changes

The entire main cast of the [[Star Trek (2009)]] movie makes an appearance, as do many characters from [[Star Trek|Star Trek TOS]]. It is set in an [[alternate universe]] where the Federation is a monarchy with an entrenched, rather inbred aristocracy.

:'''Author's Summary:''' Spock is heir to the Federation throne, Jim is Prince of America because his fucking brother abdicated, and the Klingons are on the verge of blowing shit up--a love story.

:'''Author's Summary:''' Spock is heir to the Federation throne, Jim is Prince of America because his fucking brother abdicated, and the Klingons are on the verge of blowing shit up--a love story.

Spock and Kirk first meet after Spock, in his role of heir to the throne, pays a post-disaster state visit to [[Tarsus IV]], where he briefly meets shell-shocked young survivor James Kirk and never forgets him. When Spock succeeds to the throne, he selects Jim as his dance partner for the first dance of his Coronation Ball. Naturally (in a universe where James Kirk is involved) this leads to Jim "assisting" Spock with sex which leads to an affair (a little long-distance while Kirk is in command of the Enterprise) which leads to an engagement (ditto) which leads to a surprisingly successful marriage. All while Kirk is working on beating the Klingons, to fulfill the offer he made Spock (instead of declarations of courtly love) that Kirk would win Spock a war against the Klingons if Spock made peace with the Romulans.

The story features many entertaining secondary characters such as [[Sybok]], [[T'Pring]] (Countess of T'Paal and Spock's chamberlain) -- affectionately nicknamed "T'Pringles", [[Uhura]] (Duchess of Nairobi and Spock's social secretary), Christopher Pike, [[Number One]], [[Gary Mitchell]], [[Winona Kirk]] and [[Sam Kirk]], and of course [[Leonard McCoy|Bones]], [[Sulu]], [[Chekov]], [[Scotty]], and the rest of the Enterprise crew.

==Sample Recs and Reviews==

:"An AU that is, according to the author, "a very strange hybrid of The Young Victoria and AOS". This fic is nothing short of epic -- from the word count to the blazing relationship between Kirk and Spock to the absolute (and fantastic) insanity of the supporting characters. Funny, passionate, and an altogether satisfying read."<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/crackenterprise/92492.html 18 October 2010 Kirk/Spock recs] at [[Livejournal|LJ]] comm [http://community.livejournal.com/crackenterprise/ crackenterprise] (Accessed 11 April 2011)</ref>
