Some Kirk/McCoy Recs
I haven't done a recs post in a while, so here! Have a few recent K/M recs. Some of these are longer, but don't let the word count scare you. They're all amazing and beautiful and deserve lots of readers & comments. So don't forget to review!
All the Past We Leave Behind by northatlantic. Rated: NC17. Summary: Wild West AU; drifter Jim Kirk finds a new purpose in a town called Enterprise and an angry ex-Confederate surgeon he meets there.
Diamonds, a Club, and a Couple of Hearts by florahart. Rated: NC17. Summary: Jim Kirk is a hotshot new shortstop in the Constitution League. His team is young, but they have a lot of potential, and oh by the way, the team doctor? Is hot. Baseball AU
Step Into Liquid by atomicskull. Rated: R. Summary: This - stepping into liquid, leaving land, when the dawn is just breaking - is what matters in life, especially if you have someone to share the waves with. Surfer AU
Asymmetry by canis_takari. Rated: R. Summary: Leonard McCoy has already been through the dorm room politics, the awkward drunken nights, the pain and fear and grief; he didn’t expect to have to start his life over again, but Jim Kirk is making sure he does it right this time.
And All the King's Men by mijan. Rated: R. Summary: "How many times can you patch up something before you realize that it's too fucking broken to fix, Bones?" When a training simulation uncovers something that Cadet Jim Kirk was never meant to remember, it breaks him. Leonard McCoy can't sit by and watch Jim crumble. When asked what he's willing to do to get the old Jim back, Leonard has only one answer. "Anything." [Note: Kirk, McCoy friendship]
If I Or She Should Chance To Be by andrealyn. Rated: R. Summary: After a planetary rescue, Jim finds himself falling for a refugee and Bones isn't around to help him through it. Meanwhile, McCoy is dealing with a forced change that will permanently alter his life. The universe is their ground to try and fight their way forward and figure out a new life when they come back together. [Note: Genderswap is something I usually avoid but this fic is so realistic & well-done that I got sucked into it]
Cowboys Lost at Sea by ayalesca. Rated: NC17. Summary: Jim and McCoy are trapped, together and alone, in a strange world made up of their memories and desires. In a world where almost anything they want comes into existence, there is no hiding from their desires, each other, or themselves.
A Kind of Magic by selinamoonfire. Rated: PG13. Summary: Leonard McCoy never believed in magic until that belief was forced upon him. When Jim Kirk beamed down to Rosa, he never expected to find himself in the middle of a fairy tale.
The One-Eyed Man is King by acetamide. Rated: R. Summary: Leonard McCoy wouldn’t have said that he was happy, but he was content with being blind until Jim Kirk came along and threw up on him.
As if You'll Live Forever by camesawconquerd. Rated: R. Summary: A mission goes awry when the Captain is poisoned and beamed aboard unconscious and trapped in his own mind, how will they recover him from his own dreams?
I'll Make it to the Moon if I Have to Crawl by 1297. Rated: PG13. Summary: Starfleet isn't for men like Leonard McCoy. There are too many straight lines to cut himself on, too many rules, too many round holes to force his square-self through.
No Dead End in Sight by northatlantic. Rated: NC17. Summary: Leonard McCoy has always been an old soul in a young body. [Note: Contains McCoy/Others and pre=slash Kirk/McCoy]
The Doctor & the Kid by gentles_sin. Rated: R. two dynamic and stubborn individuals engage in the struggle for friendship and intimacy set against the backdrop of The Academy, where the Federation's Best and Brightest come together to reach for a better future...
Breaking Orbit by saavikam77. Rated: PG13. Summary: Joanna McCoy has big plans for herself, and she isn't about to let anyone hold her back. She'll do things her way, even if it means breaking the rules and burning bridges behind her. Five times Joanna ran away, and one time she didn't. [Note: Joanna gen fic with background Kirk/McCoy]
And two not so recent fics that I've read so many times already I've lost track.
Never Know Your Story Like I Do by atomicskull. Rated: R. Summary: Jim and Bones meet on the first day of kindergarten and grow up together. Along the way there are proposals, musicals, kitchen utensils and a very old Jeep.
Working Title: Enterprise by fishspots. Rating: PG13. Summary: '“Kirk, this here is the supporting male lead, Leonard McCoy. He’ll be playing the medic, Bones.” McCoy slips off his shades, pulls down his hood, and flashes a wide, sarcastic grin. Jim doesn’t realize it then, but that’s the exact moment his life goes to shit.' Movie Star AU
I could go on but I'll try not to list every Kirk/McCoy posted lately. It's no wonder this is my first ever real OTP in an obsessive sense when the fic being written is just so amazing and brilliant and captures their dynamic so perfectly whether it's canon or AU. You can check out kirk_mccoy, space_married, and kirkmccoy100 for more Jim/Bones fic & art! *snuggles my boys*
