Author: Gixxer Pilot

Summary: Cop!verse AU. A call to a possible home invasion leads to McCoy’s first long-term relationship since he left Georgia. For Jim Kirk, the prospect of an otherwise occupied partner is downright frightening.

Author’s Notes: I have no good explanation for this fic other than it was something that seemed

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*breathes*

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay now I'm done laughing. Poor Jim... *laughs again* snake phobia... I love it! Good job!

*hands over oxygen*

Glad you liked it! But really, everyone has to have some kind of phobia, right? Right?

In my mind, Jim was making this face when Bones snapped that photo. *points to icon*

You already know how much I love this, but I'll just say it again for good measure: This fic is made of win. And I would argue that's its not crack - this feels totally realistic, which is why I love the cop!verse. It feels like just another day in their lives, and it's all absolutely plausible. I like that for once, Jim is the one with the phobia. Though I feel his pain here, because I would have shrieked and ran away the second Bones started waving his snake around.

Wait. *re-reads that last sentence* Well, put that way, maybe I wouldn't have exactly that reaction. ;)

Bring on the NCIS crossover! *waits patiently*

Hee! That's about right, lol. Jim was all, "OMGsnakeSNAKE!" while Bones was busy laughing his ass off.

I was really surprised how well this one turned out, given how quickly I wrote it. What was it? About two days from conception to completion? That's a record for us I think! But really, these 'day in the life' fics are probably my favorite to write because they do feel natural, even if they're fun. Plus, it's always fun to finally let McCoy get the leg-up on Kirk. Figuratively, not literally. Oh, wait...

I totally loled when I read that end part of your comment at work. It's moments like that when I'm glad my office is tucked all the way in the back of our suite!

*looks at the open Word document with the NCIS crossover* Yes, mother! Working! Working!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love this 'verse. You never fail to make me smile and laugh and put me in a better mood when you write one of these. NCIS crossover? Yay! NCIS is one of my favorite shows.

[gixxer_pilot]

Honestly, that's quite probably the best thing you could say, because if I'm making you smile with this 'verse, then it's all worth it. Thank you so much for that. As you enjoy reading it, I have a hell of a good time writing it. And yes, there is an NCIS crossover in the works. *looks up to the open Word document and cackles evilly*

Aww, poor Jimmy is scared of snakes... lol Very nice addition :D

[gixxer_pilot]

Hee! Thank you! This was one of those things that begged to be written (and was done in about two days, lol.) Glad you liked it, and thanks for the comment!

Jim did better than I would have. I'd have been running in the other direction if I saw a snake.

[gixxer_pilot]

I think Jim was just teetering on the edge of "OHMYGODHYSTERICALOVERREACTION" because there's a snake wrapped around McCoy's arm. And of course Bones, who is usually fending off Jim's childishness, is much amused to be able to flip the tables.
