Idea for the fic (and a lot of the summary) shamelessly stolen from this kink meme prompt
Huge thank you to my artist, who not only made such beautiful illustrations for the story, but also kept me going on this when I wanted to throw in the towel. And huge thank you to my beta and fanmixer, who stepped up to the plate when I feared I wouldn't get this betad at all, and made a mix that I think fits the story just perfectly. Go, look, listen, flail like me :-)
Posted at DW because I am too lazy to chop the story into bits. Please feel free to comment anywhere you like. I have plenty of invite codes for DW if anyone wants one.
Summary: While on shore leave McCoy gets involved in a card game. What does he win? A sexy little seventeen year old Russian. He has no idea what to do with the kid, but ends up taking him back to the ship, where he learns that Chekov was kidnapped from some starbase years ago and his parents are dead. When the Enterprise runs into a crippled shuttle escaping what the survivors claim was a Federation-led massacre, Chekov thinks it's the same pirates as killed his parents. Now he and McCoy must infiltrate the base, rescue the princess and see if they can remember how to live happily ever after.
