Summary: She was pretty--he wasn’t blind--but he hadn’t come to Starfleet to get ass. When half of your energy is spent trying not to throw up after every flight simulation and the other half is wasted on babysitting Jim Kirk, there isn’t much left for

I absolutely loved it! I really felt for Bones here, but I'm glad that he got to have a relatively good time.

And the reveal about Kirk was HILARIOUS. And totally unexpected.

I hope you continue to write McCoy/Uhura in the future.

The poor man never catches a break, does he?

To be honest, I have to admit, the Kirk reveal snuck up on me as I was writing it too!

And thank you so much!

there needs to be more McCoy/Uhura in the world ♥

[vestigialwords]

agreed wholeheartedly. :)

*just realized she doesn't have a Karl Urban/McCoy icon where he's not making a strange face to reply with.*

[totallybalanced]

Karl has great strange faces so any icon with him is still awesome ;-)

[vestigialwords]

Of course, that's what I meant to say!

MOAR MCCOY/UHURA, PLZ?!

I do love their interactions and there is just not enough fic for them! Hilarious and wonderfully-written. Keep it up! :)

HEE, Jim showing-off his studiousness is precious...but I would really adore him hearing about the fight (and how McCoy was there with Uhura). I imagine his reaction would include a lot of whining over missing it...

[vestigialwords]

Thank you! and haha, I'll work on it. ;D

Oh, Jim would turn into such a whiny little boy if he knew he missed McCoy in a brawl, wouldn't he?

[meri_oddities]

You know, this worked really well. I think I could do McCoy/Uhura. Well, if Spock didn't kill us all for it. *g*

[vestigialwords]

Yeah, the first time I heard this pairing exists, I was beyond incredulous, but something about them seems to work. I don't know. *shrugs* I don't question it. :)

But thank you so much! :D

This is great! Your McCoy makes me smile; he's spot on.

I hope you'll be writin' more soon?? :D

[vestigialwords]

Thank you!

And yes, I certainly hope so, as soon as I get struck with an idea. :)
