QL-ST:ToS crossover. The Enterprise is leaving Earth orbit after a visit home [for some reason that is probably irrelevant.] As soon as they go to warp, the ship is violently shaken, with the entire bridge crew knocked out. Spock is the first to awaken. He checks the sensors and sees, that the warp field is oscillating like a bell that's been struck. And, like a bell, the oscillations are dying down. Determining that he can not do anything about it from the bridge, he calls down to engineering. Only Scotty is conscious there, and he has a broken ankle. Spock calls sick bay to send help to engineering. There being nothing more he can do, he allows himself a moment to rest. Uhura is the next to wake. Seeing the captain unresponsive, she calls sick bay for help then moves to Spock, and finds him awake. "Are you all right, Mr. Spock?" she asks.
Sam looks up from the floor where he is sitting to see a very lovely young black woman in a very short skirt standing over him looking concerned. "Oh, boy."
It doesn't take long for Sam to fail utterly at pretending to be Spock, and even less time for Al to determine that Spock is an alien. With the secret out, complete openness is deemed best.
It turns out that the the Enterprise encountered some sort of residual effect of Project Quantum Leap, which caused the warp field to go a little ca-ca and send the ship through time instead of space, back to somewhere within Sam's lifetime. Sam had warned of something like this, if the obscure theory of space warping should ever be used for FTL travel, but his warnings were unheeded then forgotten. It takes Sam's knowledge of the string time travel theory and Spock's knowledge of warp theory together to send the Enterprise home and ensure that this doesn't happen again.
In the mean time, there is also a more "normal" QL type wrong to put right, which might be Sam's job on the Enterprise or Spock's job on Earth, or both.
Sam, influenced by leaping into Spock, is thinking more calmly and logically than usual, but Spock, similarly influenced by reverse leaping into Sam, is more intuitive than usual. Both must make use of this to solve the various problems.
It could work to have Spock beamed up from the waiting room so he and Sam are face to face. A mind meld might be involved. Then, when Sam leaps out, the next leapee must be simultaneously beamed into the waiting room.
