Title: Leave No Soul Behind (1/?) 1,525 words of 60,000+
Fandom: Star Trek XI, TOS references.
Characters: Kirk/Spock, ensemble, OCs.
Rating & Warnings: Strong R - slash, language, adult themes.
Spoilers: For the 2009 movie mostly.
Disclaimer: Fanfiction and fanfiction only, folks.
Betas: the patient and ever-encouraging the_arc5, who corrects my crazy Australian spelling and has unholy sway over the rating for this story.
Author's Note: This is written for stripedpetunia on trek_exchange, who's own works I have thoroughly enjoyed. I can only hope this fulfills her request for plot, romance, missions gone awry, AUs and characterisation - especially where Kirk is "smart, savvy and kickass."
This AU is inspired by the courageous and amazing work done by all enlisted military and volunteer aid workers, NGOs, emergency services and crisis medical teams throughout the world. You bring light and hope to the darkest moments in our lives.
Summary: If you're Starfleet, you spend your whole life wishing you never see an EPAS uniform right up until the moment they become your only hope. Whether you're dying a slow, cold death in space, or a long painful one on some godforsaken planet, they're going to come for you. So count your last breaths, son, and hold on tight. They leave no soul behind.
