It's been almost five years apart with McCoy on Earth and Jim on Enterprise, and almost just as long since the two have been in the same place for any length of time. But when Enterprise goes missing near Romulan Space, McCoy is willing to do whatever he has to in order to find Jim. A self-contained sequel to The Last Two Tours. (Total word count: 33,466)

ART BY gadgetorious: to the art

Credit where credit's due/references: This story took on a number of different forms in the process of writing it. There are a number of scenes that had to be cut in order to keep with the flow of things in the final timeline. The story has influences in the episode "Out of Gas" from Firefly in the way that time works. Angel One and some of the information about it, what taken from the Memory Alpha entry on it (along with the DS9 episode) with some liberties being made about the details. Beyond that the story was originally inspired by an album of which it shares the shame name - Broken Folk by Brian Webb. All of the section chapters are lyrics from the album and some of his lyrics show up paraphrased as dialogue too. However, this story moved away from the story the album tells as the drafts went on. And of course, Roddenberry created it, I play in it because fair use is awesome.
