In case you didn't know, Nero came from exactly 129 years into the future, which explains his ship and its technology. And if the Vulcans on this world don't enact their revenge, Romulus will be destroyed anyway. Because in exactly 129 years from now, a nearby star – that little bright flickering thing in the sky above your Empire – will go supernova. It'll destroy Romulus and its Empire with it, but in reality you would have destroyed yourselves.
-->'''Romulan''': Explain.
-->'''Jane''': You would have destroyed yourselves because the only one willing to help you was a half-Human, half-Vulcan Ambassador who was too late to inject the Red Matter into the supernova. It stopped it, sure, but then he was chased through the black hole he created by Nero. But do you want to know why he was the only one willing to help you? Because you lot were a bunch of ''fucking fascist bastards'' who will spend the next century trying to destroy the Federation – the only ones who can ''save'' you! Not just that, but saying things like you just said doesn't make a lot of friends; that you were ''fucking proud'' of Nero's actions for destroying Vulcan and ending ''billions'' of ''lives''! It's no wonder we didn't want to help you when you ''fucking assholes'' needed it! No wait, hold on...you felt you didn't ''need'' help because you believed there was ''nothing fucking wrong'' with that star. You thought it was a lie created by us in order to mask our supposed “dishonourable intentions”. Your inability to comprehend that we would want to ''help'' you, ''fucking blinded'' you all to the fact that the star was dying, and unless you get rid of that ''fucking'' single-mind of yours, you're going to end up like Vulcan sooner or later. Sooner if the Vulcans detonate the Red Matter, or later if the star dies and kills you all. So I suggest you all shut the ''fuck'' up, go and examine those so-called ''fucking'' heroes ''and'' the ''fucking'' star...and think very, very ''fucking hard'' about your actions for the next ''fucking'' century.

* HesNotMyBoyfriend: Pretty much Jane's motto throughout most of the fic.
* LoveTranscendsSpaceTime: Spock and Fem!Kirk end up together in ''four different realities'', '''no matter what happens'''.

* MoralityPet: Towards the end of the fic, Spock begins to suffer the effects of Pon Farr which causes him to become feral, reverting back to what Vulcans were like before the teachings of Surak. He's in such a state that he doesn't recognize any of the crew and attacks anyone who comes near him...apart from Fem!Kirk. She's the only one he still seems to recognize and even defends her from a group of other Vulcans in a crazed state.
** In both Mirror universes (the original and the alt reality version) the evil versions of Spock and Fem!Kirk are each other's MoralityPet. And to a lesser extent, their crew is this to them, too.

* PapaWolf: Spock, at least the Prime version. The Prime Fem!Kirk explains that when she was pregnant, she was taken hostage by the people of Gideon (TOS episode "The Mark of Gideon"). Lesson to be learnt: Don't kidnap a Vulcan's pregnant mate. It ''will not'' end well.

* ThePowerOfLove: The love between Fem!Kirk and Spock is shown to be so powerful that no matter the reality, the pair will always be drawn to each other.
** A straight example occurs in chapter two, in which the Prime Fem!Kirk tells the Alt Reality Fem!Kirk about the incident with the Medusan, Kollos. In this story, the only way to cure the insanity (brought about by looking upon Kollos) is if the victim's true love locks eyes with said victim. Fem!Kirk did this when Spock goes insane, curing him within seconds.
** Another straight example, similar to the first, happens when Spock goes crazy due to Pon Farr. He doesn't recognize anyone and attacks anyone on sight...except for Fem!Kirk, who he even protects from anything he considers a threat to her. [[spoiler: It is revealed that this happened because he recognized her as his bondmate.]]
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: The Prime counterparts of Spock and Fem!Kirk die together. Putting a spin on this trope, they're not just lying together; Spock performs a mind-meld and they die connected.]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Both Janes towards Spock.

* BeserkButton: Jane Kirk is a capable, level-headed Captain and generally a nice girl. But like her male counterpart, harming her crew is a bad idea, particularly Spock. This goes for her Prime counterpart, too. Added to that in this particular story, she gets pretty pissed in the first half whenever her counterpart makes not-so-subtle suggestions that [[HesNotMyBoyfriend she's gaining feelings for Spock]].

* MamaBear: Several.
**In an OffScreenMomentOfAwesome, Winona apparently, according to [=McCoy=], "turned into a MamaBear and scared the crap outta [Khan]" in order to persuade him into giving blood to heal Fem!Kirk.
** In the same scene, Fem!Kirk's Prime counterpart muses that it runs in the family:
-->'''Kirk''': I'm guessing someone threatened Ama?\\
'''Kirk Prime''': A group of Orion pirates when she was five. Their life expectancies were shortened to ten seconds.
** Spock's mother apparently went MamaBear on the Vulcan High Council when trying to stop the other Vulcan children from bullying him:
-->'''Spock''': [Sarek] described it as the only time when the High Council showed any form of emotion.\\
'''Kirk''': Flat out terror? Well, that proves it. If you anger a mother, you must have a death wish.
