The Counterfeits

Fandom: Star Trek AOS
Rating: M
Characters/Pairings: Kirk, Pike, McCoy, (sort of) original characters. Slight bit of Kirk/OC, eventual Kirk/Spock.
Genres: mystery/thriller/sci-fi/drama/romance
Summary: Several months after a disastrous investigation, Detective Jim Kirk has transferred out of New Dublin's murder squad and thinks he's done being anywhere near homicide. But just when he's settling into a different job, a dead body shows up with a stolen identity and a very familiar face. Reluctantly reunited with his old boss Christopher Pike, Kirk is asked to work a bizarre undercover operation in order to not only find out who killed the victim, but who created him. (Fusion based on Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad series - mainly The Likeness w/ some elements from In The Woods.)
Warnings: Violence, mentions of canon character death, semi-explicit sex, dubious methods of detective work, bogus science, psychopathy, unsolved mysteries, and rather a lot of smoking and drinking.
