Summary
The forced mind-meld with Mirror Spock shatters McCoy’s mind. To save him, Kirk and Spock must walk through his worst memories - including the one thing he can never forgive himself.
He loved his father far more than he ever hated him. It's the thing he holds on to. It's what matters. Isn't it?
“Doctor - please -” Spock’s voice is lost, but he shifts how he’s holding him, Spock’s hand cradling the base of his spine. McCoy presses closer until he’s weeping into Spock’s neck.

Summary
You have a... good bedside manner, Spock.
The first thing he feels is Spock. His - mind? soul? - is unmistakable, cool and refreshing, beautiful in its crystalline brightness.
Spock’s self gathers up his own self and cradles it. It is raving and barking about his body, his body, his one-and-only irreparably ruined body.
McCoy feels a bitter, bitter sorrow. Not his own. Then, like white foam on a rising wave, I am here. And Jim. We will not leave you.

Summary
Her mother always said, Lovely things have their price.
Started for (but not finished in time for) terrorexefest2, from the @terror_exe prompt: harry goodsir/silna, Nonlinear Storytelling, biblical themes, the expedition, seduction.
I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, when I was intricately woven in the deepest parts of the earth.
Psalm 139:14-16, the Bible. -

Summary
Francis - it’s always Francis who jumps to mind first - and Tom Blanky are his co-hosts on a motoring program that has filled a hole on the BBC created by the very public firing of a very public idiot.
James’ onscreen persona is the slick, suited city-boy, all quips and excellent taste. It suits him, he’s spent his whole life cultivating a certain kind of élan.
But some nights, when they’re all out for the customary post-filming wind-down, and it’s loud and busy and Francis is nursing a tonic water and looking like he wants to climb out of that freckled, pockmarked skin of his... well. Sometimes James finds himself wanting to take that construct, hold it in front of Francis Crozier’s eyes like a polaroid, and let it burn.

Summary
Doctor McCoy sure as hell doesn’t compromise care, confidentiality, or his goddamn conscience for anyone. He has no problem with extracting a mind-controlling slug from Uhura's sinuses, performing a blood transfusion between a human and a sentient puddle, or administering therapy to a crew-wide hallucination of a god.
But catching feelings for Spock?
Now that’s just irresponsible.
And ultimately, it's all Jim’s fault.
