Title: In Our Nature
Fandom: Star Trek reboot
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: James T. Kirk, Nyota Uhura, Spock, Leonard McCoy, Montgomery Scott, mirror!Marlena Moreau, mirror!James Kirk, Christine Chapel, Hikaru Sulu. Kirk/Uhura, Scotty/OC, references to a couple other pairings.
Summary: After four of the ship's officers never returned from an away mission, Spock reluctantly assumed the role of captain on the
Enterprise while mourning the absence of his closest companions. Jim Kirk is meanwhile becoming the Terran Empire's most wanted fugitive in a slowly transforming mirror universe. Both of their fates may be affected by the self-fulfilling prophecy of a man who has very little to lose.
Overall Warnings: Violence (including some torture), secondary character death. This has been a WIP for a long while so it will have some inconsistencies with STID (and obviously contains no spoilers for the second film).

SERIES MASTER POST.
Notes: After several years of stops and starts I am, for real this time, not-sure-how-slowly but surely in the final stretch of this fic. I previously said this was looking to end up about the same length as the first book, but I can say for sure it's running longer than that. I've made some small revisions on the previous parts for some stuff that's always bugged me (including a chapter title change), but for the most part this was only on the AO3 and FF versions.
( I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks/who remembers your face, who remembers you when you are gone )
