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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] space_wrapped run, and in particular to [personal profile] weepingnaiad for giving this the once-over.

Leo wasn't made for weather like this. )

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: Adventure Time Again
Pairing: James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Rating: PG
Summary: Okay, so maybe the story of how Kirk and Spock teamed up to help Chekov defect makes McCoy a little jealous. It's not a big deal. Bones knows what's what. (Except for the part where he doesn't, and Jim has to tell him.)
Length: 1900 words
Notes: A return to the Harvard AU set up by When the Game Ends, We'll Sing Again, in which Bones is a doctor and researcher, Jim was in the air force, and Scotty and Spock are both profs, and they all met as freshman roomates at Harvard, 1959. Takes place in 1978--between the third part and the epilogue.
I got irritable about writers not being responsible for what happens in their stories, and this is the result. Thanks to [profile] canis_takahari for the encouragement!

The worst part is that Leonard knows he's being ridiculous; that knowledge just makes him even more irritable. )

Notes: Written during Shore Leave at the [livejournal.com profile] st_respect Ship Battle, for the "Spank a Captain/Kiss an XO" prompt. So there's literal captain spanking, somewhat birthday-related since it was also our [livejournal.com profile] team_jones captain [livejournal.com profile] sangueuk's actual birthday. As for kissing XO [livejournal.com profile] blcwriter, well, look at the rating. And on top of that, there are plenty of shout outs to various ships in the battle.
Amazingly and expertly beta'd by [livejournal.com profile] kitsune13, who knew exactly how to turn it from a rambling series of comments into a story that made sense, and [livejournal.com profile] evil_erato, who is basically required to read all the porn I write.
