Character/Pairing(s): Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura, an alien OC
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~94,000
Warnings: Minor character death. Mind control themes and sort-of-zombies. Dark at times due to twisted xenobiological shenanigans. Mild themes of stress-related weight loss. Heaps of TOS references and/or spoilers. Eventual smut. Freakishly long chapters.
Summary: Stranded on the planet Sigma Nox while searching for a missing away team, Spock and Kirk find themselves pitted against a disturbing native life form. With the captain out of commission on a regular basis and Spock struggling to preserve his stoicism, staying alive is difficult enough - but when a slim chance for escape surfaces, their resolve is truly put to the test. Together they must fight for survival in the heart of an alien jungle, and in the process, uncover the mystery of the planet’s past. Slow build K/S.

A/N: Much love to my betas
tresa_cho,
rynne, and
jactrades. Seriously, this would not have come together without them. Infinite thanks and internet cookies to the lovely
sarcasmcookieand
peculiariteafor putting together such awesome pieces of work for this fic (and dealing with an incomplete fic for so long)! You guys all kept me going with your advice and kind words. Also, major props to my IRL friend GW, without whom I never would have gotten past the outline stage, and my roommate MM for putting up with me during these past few months.
