Snakes Lair || Hakka's reign

Summary of the third and last book. The title is the Vulcan word for death, and I don't need convoluted sentences to explain why.
Warning: if you've seen Oliver Stone's Alexander you might be ready to see how someone very relying on their soulmates react when said soulmates is brought away by Death.

Summary of the first book. The title is the Vulcan word for life as it covers the boys' life from birth to Jim entering Academy and Spock's promotion to Captain.

The book is finished, for obvious reasons (see below) un-betaed and with some words still in Italian (aleniakalain never managed a re-reading, in which she would usually fix english here and there). Split into four Word files, for a total of... well, many pages. Roughly more than 1000. Yep, pages.

I love the structure we chose. There are chapters in which we explore the same theme in both Spock and Jim life, in some kind of comparison to show how, in the end, their lives are entwined years before meeting. for chapters necessary to build Original or Secondary characters we opted for interludes, the point of view belonging to a specific character.
I don't really know how but we managed to get the perfect number of 200 chapters with 40 more interludes.

Title: Cosplaying Hubbies II: Captain Marvel & Rick Jones
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Marvel Comics, Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: Mirror (2.5)
Pairing: Captain Marvel + Rick Jones, Kirk/Spock
Characters: Jim as Rick Jones, Spock as Captain Marvel
Rating: G
Tagline: What happens when a certain captain of a certain starship talks his bondmate into cosplaying... Part II
Series: This is the second in a series with Spock and Kirk cosplaying, a series that will eventually will pair with the one-shots series I'm writing (Apollo and Middy is already done). Well, it'll be a series If I can find the bases and costumes for certain characters.
About the manip: This manip is part of the Reboot Mirrorverse me and aleniakalain are slowly writing together.
Rick Jones, friend of all superheroes and your neighborhood sidekick. Very human and very super-powerless (mostly).
Captain Marvel, tube son of a legendary hero with the same name, alien, half-breed, Kree. They really don't share any bromance the like Spock would usually require to at least consider cosplaying. But he might've been won by the way one is related to the other.
During a very complicate, all-continuum threatening war, Rick has taken a fatal energy blow. A Captain Marvel, coming from the future and who has tried all the time to change the past to especially avoid this from happen, has to again share his life-force with Rick to save him. They become like one, sharing molecules: when one is on Earth the other is in the Negative Zone, when in front of any mirroring surface they see the other's reflection, they speak in a way that could resemble telepathy; both with a life of their own (well, fine, Genis doesn’t really have a life, besides booze and women), but completely dependant from each other. One a part of the other, in the most physical meaning of the word. They share so much, and in such an intimate way, that they piqued Spock's curiosity. They just have what he would mostly want to share with Jim - though the downside would be no more sex, and Spock doesn't really agree with the idea to stop taking his delicious nepik ("submissive"), let alone not be able to live on the same physical plane at the same time.
Let's just say that this couple-not-couple was Spock's pick. Jim wasn't this happy, considering all it took him to dress as Rick was to procure a pair of gold bands and snag something casual from his closet while his hubby had all the fun with the costume, the wig and the bodypainting. He may have pouted some hours because of this, even because he likes Genis more but Spock's been adamant: the stronger (and the alien) of the two was going to be him.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): This may cause some heavy thunderstorm. It's taken me few hours to put this manip together and, instead of doing as always - namely, let the manip sit on the HD for months - I've decided to just go and post it before I could trash it. I'm not satisfied with the result, at all.

Title: At the farm - 01
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: Mirror (2.5)
Characters: James Kirk
Rating: G
About the manip: This manip is part of the Reboot Mirrorverse me and aleniakalain are slowly writing together.
Jim's doing some photoshooting session for a magazine (one of his duties as captain is to do a little PR now and then, mostly when the Empire orders him), so here you have, the first shot of Captain Kirk chilling out at the former-Kirk's farm, with one his favorite activities: bonding with horses. :D
In our mirror universe, Jim had a childhood different from his J.J.Abrams counterpart (first of all, George hadn't died the day of Jim's birth). During childhood, Jim bonded with grandpa Tiberius' horses, especially with a wonderful Friesian named Goliath, to the point that he was almost tempted to inherit grandpa's business in breeding horses. Now, I'm fairly aware the horse in the photo is nowhere a Fresian, so Jim's not posing with Goliath or his sons.
Series: Yep, there are others coming. I have one already finished, plus two other images ready to be manipped.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip) I feel the need to explain the odd coloring. Have you ever seen a vintage postcard, which images were originally shot in b&w to then be hand-colored? Well, I started trolling playing a bit just for fun with colors (especially to see if I could improve the low quality of the original image) and I loved how it turned out, so I decided to keep it.
I can see that, two centuries from now, some vintage (ancient) filter could be used just for an original touch to the shots.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip) #2: Do not ask me how I managed to partially hide the fact the original model was mildly haired on chest and belly...

Title: Babylon's caged le-matya
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: Mirror (2.5)
Characters: James Kirk
Rating: NC-17 (soft nude)
Tagline: Years before becoming the Empire's most known (and drolled on) Captain, James Kirk was already famous, in his own way...
Series: The Babylon's le-matya
About the manip: This manip is part of the Reboot Mirrorverse me and aleniakalain are slowly writing (something like almost 400 pages already written... and we're still in the boys' teen years. -.-). In this universe Jim - alongside his long-time friend Gaila - worked for some time as go-go boy at the infamous nightclub Babylon at San Francisco, where many races met and mix to have fun and get partners for the night. Spock meets him here for the first time, and one of Spock's friends will name Jim "the Babylon's le-matya". ;)
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I spent an awful amount of hours on this and the file was sitting on my PC since... well, let's say I worked on this some weeks ago (in a marathon of like 10 hours *wristle*); I have decided to share it before I could drop it in the bin - as I always do because I'm never satisfied so... let me know what you think! ^^
