Summary
It’s not the first time he’s talked himself out of a panic attack, of course. He’s had plenty of experience walking himself out of downward spirals, dragging his feet—two steps at a time—up the slow, steep rise.
(written for McKirk Week Day Two: Shuttle Crash)

Summary
Jim flips him off, but there’s a humour in his face that wasn’t there before. Chris follows him onto the shuttle, grinning at the back of his head, and lingers for longer than he should, watching the cadets and new recruits mingle and find their seats.
Watching Jim Kirk’s wary eyes find Leonard McCoy’s for the first time.
(written for McKirk Week Day One: First Contact)

Summary
The machines beep and whir around them, the distinctly uncomfortable sound of a hospital. Across the room, her dad is hooked up to tubes while his doctor, her uncle, administers yet another hypo. T’pri is twelve, but she feels so much younger, resting in a biobed, being told to eat. The reality of their mortality lingers around her, permeating her every thought. She knows what it’s like to starve. She thinks losing her dad would feel similarly—an ache that chews away at her insides, a rot that grows on everything she tries to consume. Her dad is fine, by one of those variable definitions, but one day he won’t be. She worries what will become of her when he’s not.
(Star Trek: Into Darkness, in the world of like blood, the stars.)

Summary
It’s supposed to be all ‘strange new worlds’ and ‘where no one has gone before’, but Maverick Mitchell had enlisted in Starfleet for one reason and one reason only: to fly.
Unfortunately for him, Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky did the exact same thing.

Summary
Leonard heaves a sigh. “Promise me you’ll try to keep out of trouble.”
“Only if you promise to fix me up even if I break it.”
Leonard doesn’t have to think about agreeing to those terms. He just does.(five times Leonard McCoy patches Jim Kirk up, and one time he doesn't.)

Summary
Jim Kirk has a daughter. A Vulcan daughter, who he met and bonded with during his time on Tarsus IV.
The events of Star Trek (2009) play out almost identically to canon, but the universe is a big and often overwhelming place. Small changes can have incredible ripple effects—let alone a ten-year-old girl.- Words:

Summary
“C’mon.” Tori nudges him with an elbow. “C’mon. He’s cute. You can admit that one thing but you can’t admit this?”
Gritting his teeth, Ice thinks very carefully about his next words. “He’s…” he trails off. “Some would say that…Mitchell is not. Unpleasant. To look at.”
(Alternatively: the one where Ice and Mav learn to park bad, eat good, and love even better.)

Summary
Buck’s had many names that tie him to different moments of his life.
He was Evan Buckley: Reckless, loved only by Maddie, his heart so empty he did anything to fill it.
Then, he became Buck Buckley, the name he usually resides in: Carefully impulsive, heart half full.
He had those two names to go by, one he hated and one he felt at home in. And then, the Diaz family turned the concept of names, of who he could be, on its head. And Buck, never having a family who did nicknames the way they do, Buck could only hold on and try not crumble at the sheer sight of being loved.
(Or: 4 times the Diaz family gives Buck a ridiculous nickname + the 1 time they don't)
