Summary
There were Befores, and there were Afters.
Before Frank, before Tarsus, before he learned that home wasn’t something you could hold onto.
Before Sam left, he still believed in family. After, he never begged anyone to stay again.
After Frank, after Sam, after Kodos, after hunger.. Jim Kirk could measure his life in the moments that split him apart, the lines he crossed and never uncrossed.

Summary
Kirk joins Starfleet not on a dare, but as a way out. Who the fuck wants to be stuck in Iowa their whole life? He’s spent years drifting, getting into bar fights, working odd jobs, doing anything but committing to a path. He doesn’t believe in himself. The idea that he could just do something for himself has never crossed his mind. Meeting Uhura & McCoy changes everything. They’re not just running from something; they’re running toward something. Maybe Kirk needs something to run towards too.
(Needs editing, kind of a Frankenstein fic atm where I have a bunch of scenes slapped together; will be adding in more! There WILL be more Pike)
