Summary: More than anyone else on the Enterprise, Leonard McCoy knows that space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence. As much as he’s seen in the two years since the Narada incident, he’s not prepared when a simple mission ends in the disappearance of a crewmember. The crew must adjust to the idea that one of their own might never come home.

Link to Fic: When the Enterprise went to warp, there were no sights to see, of course. Still, Chekov imagined the pleasure of knowing they were passing by the Gamelan Nebula, or the double-ringed planet Mitos III, which Chekov had never seen in person. Chekov always found the most efficient course with ease, but the idea of the long way captured his attention and his imagination during many hours at the conn.
