Hearts and Minds: Prologue

Fandom: Star Trek Reboot (although numerous references to TOS)
Pairing: Kirk Prime/Spock Prime, Spock/Uhura, eventual Kirk/Spock
Rating: PG-13
Beta: secret_chord25, many thanks.
Summary: When the Enterprise encounters a ship caught in the Nexus, their rescue attempt beams aboard someone unexpected; Kirk Prime. Kirk and Spock are forced to confront what their counterparts' relationship might mean for their own.
Notes: The few 'Kirk Prime comes back' fics I've read generally end when the two of them are reunited. I thought it'd be interesting to take that as the starting point, and see how the reboot Kirk and Spock (and Uhura) might be affected by it.
Useful Notes: Since TOS and Reboot use different stardates, I've gone with the latter (mainly because they actually make sense). And, in an attempt to make things slightly less confusing, NuKirk is Kirk and Kirk Prime is Jim - pity I can't do that with the two Spocks.
Words: ~1400/33000
Extra Note, added 04/04/10: I've gone through and edited some of the grammar, but the story's still the same. And yes, I am still working on the sequel. :)

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Notes: The first part of this chapter is based on the first part of Generations - except with a fully equipped Enterprise. And if you haven't read about the Kirk Prime pendant thing yet, do so. I swear, in other fandoms they actually have to make this stuff up.

Notes: I went with what seems to be the most common pronunciation of t'hy'la - kinda wish we could've heard it on screen just once. Did anyone ever ask Roddenberry how it's meant to be pronounced?
