"I'm with you." Not just a catch phrase from Koko wa Greenwood.
Co-worker who'd been leaving Star Trek novels all over the office has been taking them home again en masse lately. Am now paranoid that I won't get to finish the one I had to leave there this morning, and damn it, Uhura and Chekov are adrift on an iceberg, Kirk just saved McCoy from drowning in a submarine, the planet's poles keep reversing and I wanna see how it ends.
Also this author clearly rocks the Bones-love. And I love Bones.
And Bones loves Kirk.
EXCERPT:
Kirk surprised his friend by leaning down and placing a firm hand on the bed on either side of McCoy, effectively trapping the doctor where he sat. "What's eating you?"
"Nothing's --"
"Bones." He spoke quietly, without annoyance, and drew McCoy's attention like steel filings to a magnet. Blue eyes met hazel ones of an intensity the doctor had never experienced with any other single human being. "I need you with me on this one. I need your way of looking at things to help me figure out what's happening on Nordstral. I can't do it by myself."
Staring into those eyes, McCoy found himself wondering just when he decided he would die for this man. He felt a flush of shame for pulling away, even momentarily, from the friendship and understanding he knew Kirk constantly offered. "I'm with you, Jim," he murmured, then nodded his head firmly. "I am."
pgs. 60-61 Ice Trap by L.A. Graf
...I did actually bring a Star Trek novel of my own with me. Actually, I brought two. The first one I read (everyone on planet Vulcan loses their shit and goes psycho; ditto for the crew of the Enterprise; terrible crimes perpetrated against rose bushes), but the second one... The second one was dedicated to the woman who pitched an episode where Joanna McCoy showed up and slept with Kirk. *flail* The episode was actually sorta made -- it's the one with the space hippies -- but changed so much that chickywriterface refused to have her actual name on it. Frankly, I'm glad someone had the sense to see how utterly distasteful that would have been!
Joanna McCoy has been causing me stress lately. (As has her comics-only sister, who is so much cooler. But comics-only.) This is why I need more McCoy fiction in my life!
Damn it, I'm going to end up with my own copy of Ice Trap anyway, I can just see it....
