Warning(s): MAY BE TRIGGERY, please read warnings carefully! Some violent and bloody scenes, including assault and self-harm. Short descriptions of outright rape, other gradations of dubious consent. Discussions of child abuse. Cutting and scarification. Unhealthy pain play, evolving toward something better. (Masochism in a trusting BDSM context is a lovely thing. Pathological self-destructiveness isn't. This hurt/comfort story hits various parts of the continuum in between, but we don't mean to imply that they're the same thing.) Explicit sex. Oh, and lots and lots of profanity.
Beta(s): We owe so many thanks to our wonderful betas
graceandfire,
lindmere,
lalazee, and
wyntreaurora. This would be a much weaker story without their input and we are grateful for the time they spent. Thanks also to
celli and
tassosss who joined us from
ficfinishing as alpha readers and cheerleaders and helped us get the damn thing finished!
Summary: Young Jim Kirk is unstable and self-destructive, Leonard McCoy is withdrawn and wary, and the obstacles to surviving their first term at Starfleet Academy are not easy to overcome. A dark and brutal tale of the tangled borders between healing and hurting, where hard choices between emotions and ethics have far-reaching consequences; dealing with abuse and alcoholism, affection and neglect, piercings and bar fights, hot and cold sex, complicated questions of consent, and loyalty and love between people who aren't comfortable with either. A whole new spin on "I want my pain, I need my pain."
Prompt(s):
McCoy/Kirk: Having a doctor for a boyfriend is perfect when you're a masochist. but it sort of went straight down the rabbit hole from there.
Disclaimer: The only thing we can lay claim to is our word order.
