[ST XI] FIC: Among Us

[evening_bat]

Title: Among Us
Author: evening_bat
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy (pre-slash)
Word Count: ~ 3000
Warnings: Uh, some violence?
Summary: Everyone knew there were aliens out there.  As it turned out, there were plenty of aliens down here, too.
Notes: So very AU. Morphed into something approaching an MIB / Trek mashup.  I don’t even know how that happened.  Hopefully

Jim was no doctor but he was a minor expert in hurting himself

^This. So true. In any version of Trekverse.

McCoy stared at him in disbelief. “If it makes you feel better, you can tell yourself that your flirting gear heroically gave its life in the defense of the planet,” he replied dryly.

It was almost too bad that Jim wanted nothing to do with these guys. He had a feeling that McCoy might make sticking around seem worth it.

*laughing* I think these might be my favorite lines out of anything you've done for Trek. Maybe anything you've done.

Here's hoping you can get the coherent whole out of this!

It really kind of is. The more shirt-destroying dangerous the trouble, the more eager Kirk is to fling himself at it.

Hee! Really? Nifty. :D

Thanks! Am giving it a shot!

I'm pretty much in love with this AU. Love how Pike tries to sell the job as looking out for McCoy...quite an intisement, I'm sure. ;-)

[evening_bat]

Thank you very much! :D Well, I know that would turn my head. ;-)

Interesting. I'd definitely like to read more.

[evening_bat]

Thank you! I am very pleased to hear that! :D

Oh! This is awesome! I love how you've set MIB in the ST world and how McCoy's shit at taking care of himself. He's a doctor, dammit! :D

And Pike! I have such a weakness for awesome Pike!

I do hope that R/L doesn't leave completely unable to keep writing and maybe that this AU will provide more stories!

[evening_bat]

Thank you! I'm thrilled you liked the setup! And yes, exactly. I love McCoy but he's almost as bad at self-preservation as Kirk is. :D

Yay! I have such a thing for Pike, it's kind of ridiculous. I am so glad to give him a chance to be awesome!

Thank you! :D Hoping for the same - and hell, all else failing, that's what weekends for for.

I'm voting for more in this great 'verse of yours. The dynamic between Jim and Bones is fantastic! These lines made me laugh:

“Damn it.” Jim heaved a tragic sigh. “Those pants made my ass look fantastic.”

McCoy stared at him in disbelief. “If it makes you feel better, you can tell yourself that your flirting gear heroically gave its life in the defense of the planet,” he replied dryly.

I love how quickly the two of them start to banter with each other and how both of them appreciate the other one.

And who can forget how delicious Pike is in all of this!

I seriously can't wait to read more.

Thanks! :D I'm really happy to hear that you want more - and delighted that I got the Bones-Jim dynamic right. (I swear, you put those two together in any universe and snark and banter just happens.)

And I love Pike. Kind of a lot. :D

Thank you so much!
