Title: Another Man's Poison
Fandom: Star Trek: TOS
Character: McCoy, Spock
Words: 100


Mr. Spock took the glass gingerly, as if it were a passive Denevian Slime Devil that might decide to devour his fingers at any moment. The liquid within was greenish in color and decorated with a sprig of vegetation. The aroma, rather than being tantalizing to his Vulcan senses, reminded him of an ancient surgical suite he’d once seen in a museum diorama, smelling heavily of alcohol-based antiseptic.

"Go ahead," encouraged Dr. McCoy, clearly amused. "Give it a try."

"Am I to drink it, Doctor, or wear it?"

"It’s a mint julep, Spock, not an anesthetic."

"I find that debatable."
