Author's Summary: "Jim takes a minute to appreciate how fucking wrong this is. How black holes and time travel and universe-ending paradoxes always make things too damn complicated, because picking up his own father when he's an academy cadet and the same age as Jim should not even be an option. But it is. Had been. And Jim was never one to leave an inviting road unexplored."

Review:
Jim Kirk goes to an alternate reality to meet his father before the unfortunate incident. And one thing leads to another...

This fic has been dubbed by one of the reviewers as "dirtybadwrong", which is a really awesome, delicious-tag-worthy word, although I personally felt it was hardly dirty, bad, or wrong. Jim has never known his father (in the Reboot Universe) and George in this timeline hasn't even met Winona yet. That's not really incest, is it?

Tender and sweet, with excellent characterization of Jim for such a short piece. A part of me wishes that the author had expanded this universe (What happens if Jim decides to stay?) yet another part of me think this story is just perfect as is. Highly recommended.

Good Man
