Title: To Know One's Part
Pairing: James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Rating: PG
Summary: Christmas, 1938, and Leo is wondering what on earth a research scientist with a modest stipend can give to a best-selling author. (From the same 'verse as the 20s-in-Paris story April Is Over.)
Warning: (skip) None.
Length: 900 words
Notes: Written for space_wrapped prompt 144:

In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter, long long ago

What then can I give him, empty as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb
If I were a Wise Man I would know my part
What then can I give him?
I must give my heart.

Thanks to the lovely ladies who make space_wrapped run, and in particular to weepingnaiad for giving this the once-over.

( Leo wasn't made for weather like this. )

Title: Let Me Hear Your Body Talk
Pairing: Star Trek: James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Rating: NC-17
Summary: It takes the promise of sex toys to get Leonard McCoy to go to a mall during the Christmas season, but go he does, and never let it be said that Jim Kirk isn't a man of his word.
Warning: Some talk of pushing boundaries at a future date; very mild d/s elements.
Length: 2700 words
Notes: Part of the Harvard-verse. Takes place just before Christmas, 1982, right after the mall trip in "I'm All Lit Up" (LJ | DW | AO3). Title from the song "Physical."
THANK YOU to affectingly and canis_takahari for running km_anthology and giving me the awesome prompt of "gags" which is also on my kink_bingo card. Also huge thanks to canis_takahari for her beta services and even moreso, a couple of conversations that helped me get into Jim's headspace for this story.

( I get to tell you how super you are, and you can’t tell me to shut up, or scoff, or even run away, can you? No, you have to sit there and listen to me talk about exactly what you do to me )

Title: Sending Postcards
Pairing: Star Trek: James T. Kirk/Leonard McCoy
Rating: PG
Summary: Leonard McCoy isn't just an Oscar-winning screenwriter; he's also quite a music snob. Thing is, his Oscar-winning director (and soon to be live-in boyfriend) James T. Kirk has really plebey tastes. Luckily Joanna is around to help them strike the balance.

Notes: Started as a reply on the jim_and_bones buckleup kink meme, though it has been significantly revised from that initial version. Thanks as always to kitsune13 for all of her help in making this story better. (She's like, amazing, you guys.) Title from "The Man I Love" by George and Ira Gershwin.

( There are a good many stories about how James Kirk and Leonard McCoy fell in love and were together for ever and ever. Not that they don't fall in love and are together for ever and ever in this story—they do and they are—but this story is about something else entirely. )
