"YOUR NAME IS JIM"

Summary:

Kirk's thoughts after the Fal Tor Pan in ST III.

Notes:

Disclaimer: My heart belongs to Jim and Spock; they belong to Paramount Studios. So the only profit I can make from this is the satisfaction of knowing they are happier in my world than in Paramount's.

Work Text:

It was worth it.

 

 All the risks I took,

 bucking Starfleet,

 stealing the ENTERPRISE,

 involving all our friends.

 

Even the pain of losing

 the ENTERPRISE,

 along with my only son,

 witnessing the destruction

 of the Genesis world,

 having to fight Klingons barehanded,

 and fly their bucket of bolts

 to Vulcan.

 

 Even being busted

 back down to captain.

 

 It was worth it all, my friend.

 Just to look upon your face again.

 And to see you look at me

 with recognition in your eyes

 and hear you say:

 

 "Your name is Jim."

 

 That makes it all worthwhile.
