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...

I tell you, LJ is out to 'throttle me like an emotionally compromised Vulcan' as a friend of mine would say. LOL. Coding=headache. Thank you all for your patience! Here's the rest of the story!

( 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.


( Blue eyes, sun streaked blond hair, the athletically built third year cadet flashed Bones a shit-eating grin before leaning in and—whoa! )

Act II. Bear with me as we take a slight detour. I want to thank everyone sticking to this story and giving me such boosting support as we journey into the unknown: my mind. LOL.

( It's about damn time. )

We're venturing in no-man's land now. Not based on an episode. I now have to be creative.

Gulp.

The real test is here, gang. Regardless, I hope you enjoy.

( The dark stroke of swarming and writhing Toclafane had split up, like river outlets; thin lines of death forking off into different directions. One line curled in the sky bending towards them. )

The 2nd part of the conclusion to this chapter. Three more to go: Year That Never Was, Year That Never Was 2.0, and Last of the Time Lords.

( He lashed out, breaking one's nose hard enough he could feel the bone piercing up into the brain. The guard dropped. )

Very, very long. My nap that is. LOL. I went to bed at midnight last night, got up an hour ago. Hubby made ham sammies for the twins, made me a turkey sammy. Me <3 hubby. Boy, I really needed that nap. All better now. Smooches to all.

Again, LJ no like long. Conclusion split to two parts.

( He lashed out, breaking one's nose hard enough he could feel the bone piercing up into the brain. The guard dropped. )

I surrender! Yet another Act. I underestimated Jack's aftermath. It screamed for a moment of Janto. The act, when done, came to twenty pages long. Sorry. It's rather intense. I had to split the angst.

Warning: I went wah reviewing this act. Then again, my headache was back, exercising my stubborn body pummeled me into old age, so it could just be me. -lol-

( I would follow him before we lose him. )

Second part of Act 6. I feel like I'm doing algebra. Chap 37, act 6, part 1, Oi. -lol-

( He's not as daft as he looks. )
