"Squash and chocolate cake are incomplatible because the squash water gets the cake all soggy and blegh."
I'm thinking the CP story is incompatible mostly because I can't slip it in as a throwaway line the way I can do with everything else. Also, the CP stuff would, if not exactly transform their relationship, then intensify it and makes certain aspects very explicit. The Kirk/Pike I have set up right now is contentious but fairly carefree, I think. IDK. It probably fits better than I think it does, I'm just hesitant to admit to the world at large that I use CP as a framework for exploring character dynamics. Which is silly, because fandom is pervy and will not disapprove.
Paternal!Spock is mostly hilarious with a dash of terror thrown in. He's stronger and faster than both of them, and as part of the regression, he only speaks Vulcan (or a simple form of it, anyway.) So there's a lot of Kirk and Spock yelling at each other in languages they can't understand before Spock just drags Jim back into the cave and pops him on the butt. It's dangerous out there. Spock can't let his soft, pink babies go wandering around without supervision; that would be irresponsible.
Jim, obviously, has to keep pushing the boundaries because ONE DAY Spock will let him go explore the forest. He knows it. (The strategy works-- much like a parent finally acquiescing to a teenager's demands for more freedom-- and McCoy gives the facepalm of the century.)
Spock also gathers fruit to bring back and shows Jim how to crack it open. Also, maybe he fights grizzly bears?
(there's another plot-line that is much less funny!parental!hijinks and more, um, rape. :/ Let's just say Spock treats McCoy a little differently than he treats Jim.)
OKAY MAYBE I WILL DO THAT CRIMES AGAINST FANDOM POST. GOSH. SINCE YOU TWISTED MY ARM AND ALL. YOU JERK. :D

Anyway, enough of that nonsense.
I'm thinking the CP story is incompatible mostly because I can't slip it in as a throwaway line the way I can do with everything else.
But does it have to exist in the same continuity as the other three? You could specify in the A/N that it doesn't exist in the same continuity as your other fic, if you feel the need to. That way you're removed of the obligation to even put it in as a throwaway line to anything else. Or you could write a ficlet specifically to write in the CP story as a throwaway line, as part of the same verse!
I'm just hesitant to admit to the world at large that I use CP as a framework for exploring character dynamics. Which is silly, because fandom is pervy and will not disapprove.
I would chide you and remind you that fandom has, in fact, produced fic pairing people with tribbles and seen fit to post it under its own pseud, but then I remembered that I have the exact same problem but replace "CP" with "dominatrices and shibari" and thus advice to that effect would be a touch hypocritical.
It's dangerous out there. Spock can't let his soft, pink babies go wandering around without supervision; that would be irresponsible.
I like this story already. :D Mostly because it provides opportunity for Spock to make angry parental faces at rebellious!Kirk and for McCoy to have to smack him and remind him that dammit, Sock isn't actually his parent, now stop acting like it and if you pull another stunt like that we'll both be sent to bed with no supper. Also, Spock fighting grizzly bears. Which is *awesome*.
Though given that this plotline seems at least mildly lighthearts, I'm curious as to how the secondary plotline fits into it, as it seems to be rather more serious. Poor McCoy. :(
TWISTING ARMS IS WHAT I DO BEST, DEAR. ESPECIALLY AS IT CONCERNS CRIMES AGAINST FANDOM.
