-cringe- Well, I've put it off as long as I should. This was a prompt fill that got revamped over and over because I was worried about pacing and characterization and--oh bollocks.

-clicks POST and hides with her cats- LOL.

Title: The Sentinel Weeps
Fandom: Star Trek: Reboot'verse
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Rating: NC-17, angst, h/c, first time
Words: 6500+, complete, betaed by periariyx.
Summary: This is from a prompt from st_xi_kink: I want a fic where McCoy meets Kirk's stepfather and being a protective lover/BFF smacks a bitch. Note though, this is drastically different from the original prompt fill though as this piece went through rewrites galore.
Warnings: Bones's potty mouth, past violence, implied past abuse, smut
Author's Notes: Help. I'm prompt addicted. Help. Trying to work on "Reinventing Pavlov" and "Eye of the Storm". Really, I am! Smooches to periariyx and "she who does not want to be named" for putting up with my rewrites and muse lamenting…


( He would get up and grab that nice and shiny new gold uniform through the bars and throttle the kid to within an inch of his smug life. )

Gasp! Not specifically answering any prompt! I had to make stuff up! \o/ This is foraging into new ground. Help!

Title: Alone In A Crowd (aka 5 Times They Thought They Were Alone and The 1 Time They Really Were)
Fandom: Star Trek: Reboot'verse
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy, Spock/Uhura (implied), Sulu/Chekov (pre-slash implied)
Rating: NC-17, angst, h/c
Words: 9000+, betaed by periariyx
Summary: They are never truly alone in a starship. It just feels like they are sometimes.
Warnings: smut, past Tarsus events, past violence, strong language, did I mention the smut?
Author's Notes: Section III was inspired by blcwriter's wonderful "James and the Giant Ship. Thank you for your blessing! This is also dedicated to inell who started my obsession with Kirk/McCoy and who had a really bad day last week. I wrote this for that day but sadly, I'm a slow writer! LOL. And as always, to periariyx, whose first prompt got me started in writing STXI.

( They’d deal with it later but for now, this time was their time alone. )

And so completes my longest ST:XI fic. As some of you know, there is a companion piece developing for this, filling in the gap. I'd never really intended a sequel/companion piece, but darn it, Bones's POV is too impossible to resist. Next week, I'm hoping to post installments but be warned, it'll be long...

( Who would have thought James T. Fucking Kirk would ever be worried about something as boring ass as missing class? )

Ah, this has been hiding in my hard drive for a while as I kept tweaking, rewriting. For those who have read it on the st_xi_kink, you'll notice it is slighter different, hopefully more fleshed out.

Author's Notes: This was a prompt from st_xi_kink:

During their academy time, Bones doesn't really date. After a year or two, Bones finally gets a boyfriend - a very hot boyfriend. Jim is very surprised, mostly at how much he immediately hates the guy. He tries to be a good friend and like the dude, takes him drinking, etc. Inside, he is coming to terms with the fact that he is pissed as hell that Bones is dating anyone but him.

The first moment that boyfriend dude and Jim are alone? Boyfriend is all over Jim. Jim rejects him, which pisses boyfriend off. He threatens to tell McCoy that Jim seduced him if Jim doesn't have sex with him. Jim still rejects him and, not knowing what to do, bolts. He avoids Bones for a few days, assuming that Bones will believe boyfriend dude and be pissed at him.

Finally, the truth comes out, Jim makes his move on Bones, and they have happy, you're-all-mine sex.

Bonus if Bones never really doubted Jim and was suspicious of boyfriend dude as soon as he accused Jim.

Warnings: implied past abuse
Author's Notes: Parts of this was inspired by inell's wonderful epic Two Men & A Motorbike "Empty". One scar in particular came from her. Thank you inell for your blessing!

( That looked like it had hurt. )

Oh no, another one. I can't stop writing about broken men whose name start with the letter "J". LOL

Title: Epi Pen (aka 5 Things Kirk Was Allergic To and the 1 Thing He Wasn't)
Author: d8rkmessngr
Fandom: Star Trek: Reboot'verse
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Rating: PG-13
Words: 7,800+ words, Complete, betaed by periariyx (Thank you!)
Summary: He wants to make a move, but something of Jim's kept getting in the way…
Warnings: implied past abuse, strong language, fluffy smut (lol)
Author's Notes: This was a prompt from st_xi_kink from a while back. It has been revised, expanded and betaed since then.

This was a prompt from st_xi_kink:

Thanks to the scene of Kirk's violent reaction to the vaccine, I cannot shake the idea that he has a very delicate condition (for lack of better word). By this I mean he's allergic to almost everything. Barely a mission goes by where he doesn't come back from a planet with some new mystery affliction. And McCoy dutifully patches him up, his reactions differing according to the severity.

I feel like this would make a really good 5 Times style fic, and would love to see one. ♥ Or if you wanna go the drama/conflict-y plot way, maybe something in which Bones tries to pull some CMO strings to keep Jim on the ship more often instead of planetside on all their missions.

However you can work it, it's all good. I'm just dying to see can't-catch-a-break Kirk, allergic to EVERYTHING.

Anon, I hope this is everything you had hoped! Much love for the fun prompt!

( Only Jim would be allergic to the mud flea vaccine; the odds of it he was pretty sure Spock would know (probably tell him too if asked), but even without that green-blooded walking computer, Bones knew it was pretty rare. )

Don't look, but I wrote a fic but it isn't Torchwood. Yes, I know. I'm mildly freak, too. Oh, the Star Trek TOS flashbacks. Mommy feels old. LOL...

Title: Déjà vu
Author: d8rkmessngr
Fandom: Star Trek: Reboot'verse
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Rating: NC-17
Words: 5900+ words, Complete, betaed by periariyx
Summary: The aliens got the wrong secrets from Jim Kirk.
Warnings: implied past sexual abuse, mommy is not joking. Nothing graphic but it is implied, hence the strong rating. You've been warned.
Author's Notes: This was a prompt from st_xi_kink: Say Kirk attempted suicide a couple of times when living under his step-dad's roof, for obvious reasons, and a crew member (preferably Spock or Bones) finds out in present day. Massive hurt/comfort ensues.

( It was one of those mind-reversal things, like seeing your life flashing before your eyes, mental files rifled through on a whim without his permission. )

Conclusion.

( You couldn't have said it another way? )
