WOW. I love what you did with McCoy and Pike. Their issues and all! This story makes me wish McCoy was CMO on his ship :D Very well done, bb!!!

A world with Pike as Captain, Jim as XO and McCoy as CMO would be fun. One of the later stories will deal with the whole Narada thing - I hate the fact that following canon the two of them are headed for an unhappy ending. Thanks for commenting.

Well, the Narada thing is going to be tricky for them to get over..... (but I've yet to ever write a sad ending, so it will probably get better again :) we'll have to see)

SQUEE!!!!! This was perfect. The characterizations were just as I pictured. I loved all of McCoy's rants, especially when he told Chris he put everything in small words cause he was likely to throw himself on the ground and miss. That right there is just classic. I'll have to remember that for future use.

Thank you so much for picking up this little plot tribble and giving it a home.

*g* I'm so glad you like it. The little plot tribble kind of grew into a galactic-sized monster! Thanks for the idea!!!

This is such an amazing fic! You have done such a great job in capturing the characters and providing insight on the way that they tick. What is really impressive is that there is a lot of explanation of their pasts and their present motivations but it’s so believable in how they reveal things to each other (spoken and not). Reading the dialogue it actually fits with how 29 year old or a 37 year old man might talk. The emotions are there without loosing the believability.
I loved the simm scene and how that was the venue in which Leonard and Chris had that conversation.
How in the background of their growing relationship is the one that they both have with Jim.

This line: We both pretend that we emerged from a chrysalis, fully formed, on that shuttle to Starfleet and we get on with moving forward with our lives.” makes a lot of sense in how McCoy and Jim handle their past and their friendship ( ... )

*g* I'm listening to your amazing soundtrack while answering comments.

With a crazy day finally over, I listened to the whole mix and it is just gorgeous. I love all of it but especially Adventures in Solitude and Combat Baby, and Handle With Care is still my personal anthem for the whole fic.

I'm glad you liked the awkward sex in the office - I really wanted to write some sex that wasn't epic and soul-stirring!

Amazing! I love the treatment of both McCoy's and Pike's struggles with sexuality here. Not nearly enough of that in fandom. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story.

Thank you! Much as I enjoy sexy boys jumping into bed, it is interesting to spend some wondering how they got there in the first place.
