   Summary

   The admiralty wants Spock to captain his own ship. Neither Kirk nor Spock wants him to leave the Enterprise. When they find a regulatory loophole that might prevent their separation, they take it, and damn the consequences.

   When the implications of their fake relationship begin to unearth secrets from Kirk's past, he's going to have to choose between keeping those secrets or keeping his marriage- and the impact of that decision threatens to shake the Federation to its core.
