It's All About Survival by Djinn (pg13)

Title: It's All About Survival
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Pairing: Kirk/Chapel
Author on LJ: As far as I know, Djinn isn't.
Author Website: Djinn's Lair
Why this must be read:

I'll never ever get tired of reading Djinn's fic. Few writers can consistently get me to read pairing I've never been interested in before (such as her Spock/Chapel stories) and fewer still can convert me to liking a paiiring based on the power of their work but Djinn managed it quite soundly with Kirk/Chapel. One of my favorite things about her work is the fact that she doesn't just focus on the five year mission, she plays with a lot of time periods from the Enterprise's mission and one of her favorites seems to be the Lost Years and immediately following the first movie. It's one of the things I love about her work and even more so because of the characterizations. This is a Jim and Christine that are more than caricatures. They're people and you get a sense of their lives through the settings and words Djinn uses. This is a prime example of that. In fact, I'd encourage you to read all of Djinn's trek fic, it's more than worth your time.

Haven't read the fic yet, but had to comment on your icon. It's hysterical!
