acroamaticaFandom: Star Trek XI
Character/Pairing(s): Joanna McCoy, with Jim Kirk/Leonard McCoy, Jocelyn Treadway(/Clay Treadway), Gaila(/Scotty), Chris Pike, Spock, Winona Kirk, Sulu(/Chekov), and an OC (Teva) all in supporting roles
Rating: PG-13 (R for brief instances of cursing)
Word Count: 26,660
Warnings: Verbally abusive Jocelyn, angst, fluff
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.
Disclaimer: Paramount and CBS own everything but Teva (she's all mine!). I'm making no money off this story. Darnit!
Author's Notes: This story was originally inspired by a prompt at the first Drabble Fest at
where_no_woman, and the idea simply grew and grew until a short fic couldn't possibly hope to contain it. I've thoroughly enjoyed fleshing out Joanna's character, giving her a full life and a place in the Star Trek XI universe, and I hope you all enjoy reading about her exploits as much as I did writing them.
This story is also a part of my "Daughters and Sons" 'verse, a broad fic series that will eventually chronicle the lives and exploits of the children of the Enterprise crew, including Joanna McCoy, Saavik, David Marcus, Demora Sulu, and others. Hints of the others' lives are already present in this story, along with little glimpses of TOS canon, and how things have changed with the new timeline.
A note about Jocelyn Treadway: she is very verbally abusive in this story. I didn't set out to make her the villain initially, but that's just the way the story unfolded. I hope the story's ending and my treatment of other female characters makes up for that, though.
Huge thanks go out to my amazing artist,
team_fen, my fantastic fanmixer,
bonesofyou, and my brilliant beta reader,
acroamatica. You've all been such a perfect team to work with, and this project simply wouldn't be the same without you. *hugs you all tight*
