Long comment is long, Part 1

Okay, SO. Sorry it took me a while to get back to this but hey, it's still before my birthday, so I'm not doing too badly. ;)

I will try to find something more intelligent and original to say besides "um, yeah, what everyone else said" but seriously, bb, everyone's right - this is a beautiful, beautiful piece of work, and you are indeed a gift to the Kirk/McCoy fandom. And you wrote this FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *dances*

-ahem- Okay, sorry, moment of totally inappropriate glee over.

I love the premise of Bones's secret smile winds throughout the whole thing, and how brilliant, genius Jim can be so BLIND about some things and can't figure it out. You can just hear him thinking, why would anyone have a special smile just for me? *cuddles him* (SO IC!)

And omg is there anything cuter than drunk!Jim? No, no there isn't. Especially cute, forlorn, don't-you-love-me drunk!Jim. I kind of want to take him home and give him a little collar with a bell on it and a nice basket lined with a pillow to sleep in... oh no wait. I'm getting confused. I mean, I want to take him home, toss him in my bed, and do naughty naughty things to him. Only then Bones would get mad. But maybe he could join us. Mmm... *happy place*

Oh, sorry, where was I?

This: And there’s that strange feeling again. He tells himself it has nothing to do with the fact that Jim is probably the only person in the world who considers Leonard McCoy a part of his future.

Oh, man, that breaks my heart and fixes it at the same time. This is so the essence of this pairing - they've got no one else, and they both cling to each other even more fiercely because of that. *sniffle* And they're both kind of semi in denial about it at this stage only they know deep down it's true... *sniffles more*

The PORN. Oh dear god I love the porn. It's hot, yes, but it's so freakin' tender and I love, love, love that. Okay, so this is like, half the section, but I don't care, because I love it ALL:

“Gonna make you come so hard, Darlin.’” Jim’s skin flushes red under the murmured endearment. Bones knows all his weaknesses - Jim Kirk is an old hand at every bedroom trick but tenderness.

The sight of Bones hovering over his cock is almost enough to make Jim give up the game, just moan and shatter and let Bones take him, but he pulls it together. “I know you will,” he whispers. “I know you’ll take good care of me.”

And there, that flash of possessiveness in Bones’ eyes lets Jim know how close he is to winning. “Damn right I will. Gonna take care of you like I always do, gonna make you feel so good you forget your own name as you’re screamin’ mine. Isn’t that right, Darlin’?”

When he takes Jim in his mouth, Jim knows the game is over and lost, but his chest swells with the rush of victory. It’s good, so good that he can’t focus on anything but wet heat and whatever it is that Bones is doing with his tongue. “Please don’t stop, Bones,” he chokes out the whisper between moans. “Please, I need you. Always need you.”

THIS PUSHES ALL OF MY BUTTONS SO HARRRRRRRRD. Which you know very well, you vixen you. You know I love it. And you. And then Bones watching Jim, and Jim letting him see what he normally keeps hidden, while Bones comes undone - Jesus Christ woman. All of your stories should have porn in them because it's not just porn in your hands - it's an intensely intimate look at who the characters really are when the masks fall away. That kind of writing ability is a GIFT, bb, and no fair hiding your light under a bushel!

And the conversation after, forty pounds! Hee. Yes, The Shat, we love you despite those however-many pounds. And Jim's surprised realization that yes, he will love Bones when Bones is old and gray, and his saying that so seriously, turning it from a playful moment into something so much deeper... and there's those damn tears again.
