Genre: Star Trek (AOS: Alternate Original Series. That is, the alternate universe established in Star Trek XI); Slash; Kirk-McCoy

Rating: PG-13

Summary: Bones tries to put a little romance into a friends-with-benefits relationship.

~

What the hell possessed me to run off to Starfleet? I'm a doctor, not a space cadet. I ought to be settling into a lazy country practice, not learning how to operate during a simulated Klingon attack.

I shook my head as I walked into my apartment. Yes, I said apartment. One of the advantages of entering Starfleet Academy as a fully qualified surgeon is permission to lodge off campus. No wretched dorm for me. I had my own place.

Well, sort of. One glance into my bedroom revealed a lump on my bed. A James T. Kirk-sized lump, to be exact.

Summary:
Watson resorts to a drastic declaration to distract Holmes from the needle...

~

Holmes was resting in his bed. His heartbeat had returned to something approaching normal and his eyes, at a guess, were less bloodshot. It was difficult to tell, as he was keeping them resolutely shut.

“I am quite recovered, Watson,” he murmured, turning his head to the side as he sunk further into the pillows that I had propped up behind him. “Allow me to sleep—there’s a good fellow.”

But he would not sleep when I left him. He wished to spare himself a tiresome lecture from me; that is all. And so I took him by the chin, forcing him to face me—thus astonishing both of us. However, I achieved my object. Holmes opened his eyes and met my gaze.

These Blue Eyes
[info]jrosemary


by J. Rosemary Moss

Genre: Fan Fiction, Star Trek (Spock-McCoy)

Rating: G

Summary: This drabble (exactly 100 words!) takes place after
STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK. Spock may not quite recall McCoy yet, but he remembers the good doctor's eyes...

~

My memories may be fragmented, but I know these blue eyes. I know how they will sharpen to confront a medical conundrum. I know how they will brim with laughter over some incomprehensible human joke. I know how they will flash when offended by ‘cold’ logic.

Their owner carried my katra. I’ve been told that I did not explain this burden to him; that I did not give him a choice. And yet there is no reprimand in these eyes: there is only a wry humor and a warmth that I cannot fathom.

But he is not affronted. He…understands.

LINK TO PART ONE

~

Leonard woke up feeling surprisingly comfortable despite a slight headache and the excessive heat in the room. He kept his eyes closed for a bit, searching his memory for an explanation. Ah—he was in Spock’s quarters. That explained the heat. And they had polished off a bottle of Saurian brandy together. That explained the headache.

But nothing explained the fact that there was a pair of strong, comforting arms encasing him. Or the fact that he was using the Vulcan’s shoulder for a pillow.

He was pretty sure this intimacy was his fault. Spock was—well, both too much the prig and too much the gentleman to initiate it. But surely Spock hadn’t been drunk enough to allow such intimate contact between them? Hell, he didn’t usually like to touch anyone—as a touch telepath, it was too uncomfortable for the overgrown elf.

Leonard opened his eyes and glanced at Spock’s face. The Vulcan was wide awake, staring at the ceiling.

 Summary: McCoy seeks refuge from an angry ex in Spock's cabin...
 
 
~

Spock had just sat down to tune his lute when someone rang—insistently—outside his door. "Spock!" a voice called from without. "Are you in there?"

It was the doctor. Spock raised an eyebrow, wondering what emergency had brought the excitable human to his cabin.

"Come," the Vulcan said, setting his instrument aside.

The doors opened and McCoy, clearly agitated, strode inside. "Spock, mind if I bunk with you for the night?"

Spock narrowed his eyes at the doctor. He had not heard tell of any technical difficulties in or near McCoy's cabin. "Is there some problem with your own quarters, Doctor?"

"You bet," he answered, pulling up a chair without bothering to wait for an invitation. "They're under siege."

Summary: In my first Sherlock Holmes drabble--a regular, 100 word drabble, I'm afraid; not a 221B special!--Watson finds himself scandalized by his friend's ruthlessness...This takes place during The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton.

~

 
I stared at Holmes, horrified. His ‘engagement’ is but a tool, a means of gathering information. But, contrary to his opinion, that girl is no mere instrument to be used and tossed aside.

I know his character. I’ve seen what lengths he will go to for the sake of justice and decency. Why must he mar that great heart of his with such utter thoughtlessness?

Holmes swears that a rival will cut him out. I pray he is correct, but I cannot help but spare a thought for the poor girl.

She will never know what became of her fiancé.

Summary: Q teaches Picard a painful lesson in
Q Who--a lesson that not only cuts Picard down to size, but shows him just how ruthless a teacher this entity is...

~

Picard stared at Q. The entity had just rescued the Enterprise with a snap of his fingers.

But the Borg had killed eighteen of Picard’s crew—and Q had done nothing to prevent it. Those people had died just so that Q could teach him a lesson in humility. Just so Q could show him that he had best re-think his hubris. Just so Q could prove to him that humanity was not prepared for the enemy to come.

Picard swallowed, but somehow stopped his voice from shaking as he spoke. “I understand what you’ve done here, Q—but I think the lesson could have been learned without the loss of eighteen members of my crew.”

Q was unimpressed. “If you can’t take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed,” he taunted.

 “Farewell.”

That was the last word we heard from those damn Vians. I struggled to a seated position just in time to watch them disappear with Gem.

“Where'd they go?” I demanded as Jim propped me up with his arm. “What will they do with her?”

“I believe they intend to save Gem and her people,” Spock answered.

“I hope so,” Jim added. “But it’s out of our hands now.” He paused and looked me over. “How are you, Bones?” he asked.

I shook myself a little, trying to take in everything that had happened. “I think I’ll live,” I answered. “Thanks to Gem.”

He nodded...and then he pulled me into a hug that knocked what little breath I had left right out of me. “Good,” he said, all but crushing me. “That means I can still strangle you myself.”

Spock gently withdrew from the doctor’s mind. Bones opened his eyes and cocked his head at him.

“Am I ok?” he asked.

“Yes,” Spock said. “But there is—there is an after affect.”

“I know,” Bones said. “That’s why I’m taking the Lexorin.”

Spock shook his head. “No, Doctor. I did not mean that. There is a faint, lingering bond between you and my counterpart.”

Special Note: This story came about because some readers were disturbed by McCoy's willing participation in the forced mind meld as described in the companion stories. So I wanted at least one story that put that issue on the table, so to speak...even if it doesn't change matters.

~

Spock sensed the captain coming up behind him in the corridor. He turned and waited for Jim to catch up.

“Hey Spock,” Jim said, placing a hand on the Vulcan’s arm as he reached him. “You ready to gang up on Bones?”

“Yes,” he answered, nodding slightly. He did not, however, look forward to this interrogation.

“Good,” Jim said. “Remember, we’re treading lightly. If—damn it, I wish we knew what happened to him.”

Spock raised one eyebrow. “Is it not our purpose to discover that?”

“Yeah,” he admitted. “But I don’t want to—well, I don’t want to invade his privacy. On the other hand, I don’t want him suffering in silence, either.”

Reflective Irony but it will stand alone.

~

Spock caught the tense, clinical scent of Dr. McCoy hovering over him. He opened his eyes, inciting surprise in the doctor's. Spock pressed his advantage by gripping the doctor's wrist as he brought himself to a seated position.

"Why did the captain let me live?" he demanded.

The doctor's eyes widened at him—but he did not seem afraid. He seemed, on the contrary, captivated.

Spock stood up and applied more pressure to the doctor's wrist, making it clear that he could break it—and that he was willing to do so. He watched as pain flickered in McCoy's eyes…but there was still no fear there.

So here we are. Damn that Vulcan physiology of yours—I wanted to save you, but I didn’t want you to regain consciousness so quickly.

“Why did the captain let me live?” you demand, grabbing my wrist as you sit up and narrow your eyes at me.

You expect an immediate answer, but that doesn’t stop me from keeping my mouth shut. But if I were of a mind to talk, I’d take considerable pleasure in telling you that Jim would’ve let you die. He doesn’t associate you with our Spock—he knows better. And he knows that his duty is not to save your miserable Vulcan hide but to get us back to the Enterprise. Our Enterprise.

Jim’s got a hell of a lot more sense than I do.

Bones leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. "Damn it Jim, I'm not asking Spock to find God."

Kirk grinned, trying to imagine Bones in a relationship with anyone who had, ah, found God. "I think it'd be inconvenient for you if he did—you're too comfortable as an agnostic."

"Exactly," he agreed, smiling a little in return.

The two men were sitting in Kirk's cabin. They were each seated on opposite sides of a table with a bottle of Saurian brandy and two half-filled glasses between them. Kirk picked up his glass and took a long, slow sip.

"But I can't stand to see him ignore and dismiss every part of his human heritage," Bones continued. "He's a Jew through Amanda—it wouldn't kill him to light a menorah once in his life."

Spock entered sickbay with no visible emotion on his face, but internally he was dreading the visit. Such dread was illogical—but it would be even more so to lie to himself.

This would be the first time since his failed marriage ceremony that he would face a physical. And McCoy was no longer ignorant of the Pon Farr. The doctor would be checking and double-checking to make certain that Spock was no longer suffering any ill effects from the blood fever. Spock had to fight to keep his cheeks from flushing in embarrassment.

Worse, the doctor would have quite a bit to say about Spock's prior secrecy on the subject. And Spock could think of no argument in his own defense.

Caroline followed the man out of the agora and onto the city blocks. They wove their way through a number of leather-working shops and tent-makers until they reached the building where he kept rooms. Tools and animal hides were strewn about his workspace. A small desk stood in the corner, covered with sheets of papyrus. She strained her eyes but could not make out the writing from where she stood. Bookkeeping, perhaps?

~

I stared at Holmes, feeling a fool as he wiped the vaseline from his forehead and the rouge from his cheeks. I had wanted to shout for joy when I first realised that he was feigning his illness—when I first realised that I would not, in fact, lose my friend. His ghastly appearance and feverish mutterings about oysters had been a calculated ruse to surprise a confession out of a villain. But however happy I was to know that Holmes was safe, I could not help but feel bitterly hurt.

Vincent was pulled into consciousness by the shrill ring of his cell phone. Moaning, he rolled over to the side of his bed and, without opening his eyes, rummaged through the top drawer of his night table until his hand located the offending instrument. With an expert flick of his finger he shut it off. 
 

Not ten seconds later it started ringing again. 
 

Still keeping his eyes shut he reached for the phone and, after a moment of fiddling, removed its batteries. 
 

Another ten seconds and it rang again. 
 

Vincent was vaguely aware now that he was dreaming. With a hoarse swear he reached over, grabbed the phone and brought it to his ear. “This had better be important,” he said.

The barkeep eyed the youngest Cartwright wearily. “Don’t you think you’ve had enough, Little Joe?”

“I still got money in my pocket, Clem,” he answered in a drunken slur. “Enough for one more drink and one more girl—pour me `nother.”

Clem doubted that Joe could handle either a drink or a girl at the moment, but he complied anyway. Just as he set the drink on the bar Adam Cartwright strode into the saloon. Clem breathed a sigh of relief and sent him a pleading glance.

Picard stared down at the corpse of the young ensign. He was laid out in sick bay, soon to be prepared for burial. He looked strangely alive lying there, as if he would awake at any moment. But that was an illusion, Picard thought bitterly. In truth, the lad was dead--and he was dead for no good reason.
