Title: Foreign Waters (4/4)
Author:
shinychimera and
yeomanrand Pairing(s): Kirk & McCoy
Rating: R
Summary: After the chaos their mirror counterparts have created, Jim and Bones avoid each other on the Enterprise -- until they just can't avoid each other any more.
Warnings: Emotional aftermath of rape, some reflection on and discussion of the event.
Notes: This is the conclusion of a story we originally began publishing at
issenterprise in September of 2009. Please read (or re-read) the earlier parts first, as this is not a standalone chapter - it follows directly on the events of Part 3 and won't be effective without the context of the earlier parts of the story. (Also, our apologies to everyone we promised an ending long ago; it wasn't an easy conclusion to reach, and we ended up rewriting this chapter from scratch about eight times....)
Beta: Deep gratitude to
