A New Day by kodiak bear (PG-13)

Hi, I’m [livejournal.com profile] ishtar79, your Star Trek: Reboot driver for February. I like a variety of genres and pairings, and will attempt to reflect that in my recs.

Fandom: STAR TREK: REBOOT
Pairing: Gen
Length: 6700 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] kodiak_bear
Author Website: Fic Masterlist
Why this must be read:
I have a soft spot for mission!fic in this fandom, and this is an excellent example of the genre. Set briefly after the movie, it delivers a satisfying mixture of suspenseful and humorous touches, as well as an insight into Kirk’s character and believable interactions between him, Spock and Bones.

The Enterprise arrives on time at the first world on their mission slate, a standard check-in with a colony, and Jim opens with, “Beta Colony, this is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise. We've got your relief supplies.”

The older man's face degenerates into confusion, disbelief, and he says, irritated, “Son, I don't think your father would find it funny, impersonating a Starfleet officer and hailing the government of Beta Colony. Put your Dad on before I have to call Starfleet HQ myself.”

And it all goes downhill from there.


A New Day
