   Summary

   On the cusp of adulthood, Spock must make a decision. Marry T’Pring and be the man his father wants him to be – or join Starfleet and explore the galaxy.

   A hundred years earlier, Elizabeth T’Les Tucker’s parents decide it’s time to leave the ship where she’s grown up and settle on a home world – Earth.

   Separated by a century of experience, Spock and Elizabeth set off on parallel journeys, navigating the anomalies of life in their quest to solve the most elusive mystery of all – who they really are.

   * Written so you can follow it even if you haven't watched both TOS and Enterprise. Fic is fully planned. *
