Thanks: To cordelianne, as always.
Warnings/Notes: SPOILERS FOR STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS. (In fact, the fic probably makes little sense if you aren't familiar with the scenes of the movie.) Basically, I have no complaints about the amount of Bones in the movie, but that doesn't mean I

This is lovely!! I like how everything is not just good with Jim and Bones, but still right somehow. And I like your explaination for Bones abscence from Kirk's side during the decontamination process.

Thanks. I wanted to balance a recognition on Bones' part of Jim's need for growth with the supportive role of a partner. And, yeah, I really wish Bones had been able to be there in the movie, even though I really loved the moment between Kirk and Spock.

So glad it worked for you!

i cannot express quite how much i love this fic!

as always, brilliantly written and great characterisations And with my favourite POV, McCoy's. but more importantly, it is the first Jim/Bones i have seen which is taking the whole film into account and not just focusing on the moment with the body bag and/or its aftermath.

in addition to that, you fix some of the leaps of logic the writers left and you fill those gaps so beautifully.

you also made me realise one thing (i am slow, yes): so it was ok that Jim saved earth, but they would have left Nibiru to perish??! the difference being that it would have been extinguished by a natural disaster rather than a madman. one has to wonder.

anyway, great to see you write in the xii verse as well!

Thanks so much! I'm so pleased that it all worked for you.

I really wanted to balance the fact that I think they did the right thing on Nibiru with the fact that Jim wasn't handling things maturely and had some growing to do. I was also very intrigued when Pike revealed that they weren't supposed to have interfered on Nibiru at all (not just that they weren't supposed to be seen), given that Spock was very involved in the Nibiru mission. So I wanted to explore the idea that they all decided on that mission together.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Thanks for reading and for your lovely comment!

I was trying to imagine these missing scenes and kinda failing. Thank you, this is just perfect. This is exactly what happened and no one can convince me otherwise now.
