Kirk not on Tarsus

[lah-mrh.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for any Reboot fics where Kirk explicitly didn't go to Tarsus IV - e.g. another character went instead, or he finds out his counterpart was there, or it never happened at all.... Basically anything where Tarsus IV is actually a difference between the timelines.

Gen or any pairing, don't mind.

Tectonic Shift (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5341277/1/Tectonic_Shift) is a good one.
I gotta agree with you on wanting to find more of these.

Thanks for the link.

I actually stumbled across another one a while back, (here if you're interested), but they're frustratingly rare. (http://penknife.livejournal.com/409797.html) ()

Oh yes, there's an awesome fic by kindkit Uncanny (http://kindkit.livejournal.com/382309.html), it's kinda-sorta Jim/Spock Prime, or, more accurately, Why Nu!Jim Could Never Be To Spock The Same As His Jim. There's a lot about their differences, including Tarsus (and it has totally become my fanon that nu!Jim is taller because he didn't go there).
Your request puts a giant smile on my face :)

Mine too - guess I wasn't as original as I thought. :) Thanks for the link, though.

The wonderfully WAAAY AU Tangled Destinies series mentions Tarsus a couple of times and Jim was not there but his mother tells him she thinks his Brother was.

Link to the story with the first Tarsus reference ( it's brief): http://keiramarcos.com/2010/05/01/tangled-destinies-taken/

It's the second story in the series.

Second mention: http://keiramarcos.com/2010/06/10/tangled-destinies-affinity/

In the fifth story in the series.


The Tarsus isn't a huge portion of the story, but it is part of it.

Apparently the new Big Bang fic Fortunate Son (http://archiveofourown.org/works/132382) fits that description.
