The powers that be also chose Starbase Yorktown as the venue for the wedding. Then it all goes to hell and Jim starts to believe Christmas is cursed again. Will Jim and Spock make it to the altar?
This is essentially a Star Trek Beyond AU with an engaged Jim and Spock
Therefore, this can be read as a standalone story.

Summary
Giddean Danu shook his head, doubt plainly written across his dark face. “If we are to openly oppose the Chancellor, we need the support of the Jedi. We need their moral authority. Otherwise, what do we have?”
“The moral authority of the Jedi, such as it is,” Bana Breemu said, “has been spent lavishly upon war; I fear they have none left for politics.”
“One Jedi, then,” Padmé offered to the others. At least let me speak the truth to my love. At least. Please, she pleaded with them silently. “There is one Jedi—one whom I truly know all of us can trust absolutely …”
Her voice trailed off into appalled silence when she realized that she wasn’t talking about Anakin.

Summary
It has been 82 years since the unification of the Seven Kingdoms by the hand of Aegon 'the Conqueror' and his sister wives. The realm is enjoying its greatest time of peace of plenty since those days, helmed by the King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and his wife, Queen Alysanne.
Yet divisions lurk within the royal family. Disagreements over successions to come and strong willed Targaryen princesses threaten to undo the hard work of the last thirty years.When a man claiming to be from the dead house Qoherys arrives in Kings Landing with a dragon of his own matters are complicated for the Targaryens, especially when Saera is the one to take an interest in its rider. Either the family will bond together, or the Seven Kingdoms may shatter entirely.
