# so i’m kind of thinking about post stid # like after jim woke up starfleet was probably still in shambles # and jim just kind of took everything on # he probably spent that whole year before the five year mission just putting everything he had into rebuilding starfleet # and the admirals realized he was capable and they realized they needed him and that they had underestimated him # and he had so much on his plate just weeks after he was let out from the hospital # that the whole enterprise crew had to confront him # make him slow down # make him eat and sleep # because he has this vision of what starfleet should be # he doesn’t want anything like tarsus iv or admiral marcus to happen again # he’s had too much experience with corruption and bad bureaucracy # jim would never leave to go five years into space if starfleet was still in ruins # oh god i need to know what happened during that year i really do # where is my fanfiction (tags via warpfactors)
