Summary
The life-entity transference of "Turnabout Intruder" is not broken. James Kirk struggles with his new life as a woman as Spock struggles to break the transference and return Kirk to his rightful body.
While Kirk fights to keep his command and must deal with the ramifications of his new sexuality, Spock's quest to discover the function of the transference machine in order to break its hold on the captain compels him into a moral dilemma of secrecy and emotional peril. Lester and Coleman figure prominently, and if you're a fan of the good doctor, "Bones" McCoy--at his best--serves as both advisor and antagonist.
This "What if?" K/S story is canon divergent only at the beginning, but the rest of the novel is canon.
For Killa, who set Jim early on the right path; for Eileen, who helped smooth out the bumps; and for Kathy, who verified my choices, some good, some not so good. Kept the good ones, fixed what I could.

Summary
This is not so much an episode fix-it as an episode break-it, assuming that the Talosians are exactly as dangerous as they seem to be for nearly the entirety of "The Cage". It includes a backwards demi-ace style romance in which Kirk and Spock fall for each other early, but take a long time to negotiate the physical side of their relationship, a lot of Descartes' Evil Genius hand wringing, and a reference to a concept mentioned in Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath's "The Price of the Phoenix", in which the risks to Jim Kirk's sanity and career prospects should he develop significant psi abilities are briefly mentioned. Sadly, it predates, and is therefore not compliant with Disco season 2.
As if anything as trivial as having to completely restructure the way he relates to other intelligent beings would put Kirk down for the count.
A note: Some characters from Discovery appear in this fic, as it was written in the midst of Disco season 2. Canon has since moved in different directions, so their presence no longer is consonant with current Disco canon. Kaiidth.
Fic is complete. Updates Tuesdays and Fridays.
