I really, really love reboot!Verse. I mean, there's not a lot of strong canon detail and Kirk's development isn't linear the way Spock's was in the movie. Which made him all the more interesting to me and I wanted to hash it out!! And... I probably had a lot more to say, but this is just a timeline reference-thingy...
