The thing about AOS Bones is that him sneaking Jim onto the Enterprise in the first movie is such a balls out insane move I immediately became obsessed with him. What even was going on in his head is a mystery for the ages, lol. Cause like, at that point obviously they knew something was up or they wouldn’t all be warping off at the drop of a hat, but they had no reason to suspect it was literally world-ending shit, nor that they’d all be fucked without the kid on academic suspension.

So you know, he’s a doctor, he’s a cadet, he’s got no idea about time-traveling Romulans or red matter or whatever, he’s got a lot to lose and really nothing to gain. But Jim was sad so he, unprompted, decided to risk serious academic and possibly legal consequences because???

He folds like wet paper when Jim has a genuine emotion? Or he genuinely does live for the chaos, so that he can complain about the chaos. The crazier the better, because he can really vent his spleen. He wants to play the beleaguered straight man in the midst of wacky circumstances so bad that he decides to go to beloathed outer space and hitch his wagon to a wild card. 🩵 Kermit energy. I love him. I want to study him like a bug.

Alternatively, if this were the other big Star Something property, he’d fr be force-sensitive.

yall ever forget which cast youre supposed to be imagining when reading a fanfic

The key to understanding Leonard McCoy is that he only ACTS like he hates everyone and everything. Underneath that sarcastic abrasive middle aged man is a fundamental love for living creatures, desire to help others so strong that he made a career of it and a respect for the simple joys, which occasionally show their face when he's turning on the southern charm for a woman or offering to sacrifice himself to save a patient. I mean, you'd probably be a bit grumpy too if your marriage ended and you were stuck in space (a place you hate) trying to stop your best friends getting themselves killed when you could be spending time with your daughter. He's not surly and outspoken because he doesn't care, he's surly and outspoken precisely because he cares so much and yes, that has got him hurt before and probably will again but dammit, he's not going to let that stop him being what he is - an old country doctor who will do anything he can to help people. I love his sardonic witty banter as much as anyone but I think the real reason we take him into our hearts is because despite his complaining he's arguably the most down-to-earth, no-nonsense character in TOS and deep down we all admire his simple selfless dedication to caring for others. Never change, Bones.

The Captain’s mind was too inflexible, too disciplined, but the Doctor was sentimental, soft.

Spock’s meld with McCoy in Mirror, Mirror. [Spock’s POV]

Ever since seeing Mirror!Sarek’s meld with Michael, I wanted to use “seemingly impossible depth of human compassion” in a Mirror!Spock/McCoy meld fic. Three years later, it’s finally here~

frozen north

Bones in the snow ❄️ y'know, now that it's getting hotter than a burning stump here.

The background is based off the landscapes in my father's watercolor paintings, and my own memories of roaming through the overgrown fields that surrounded his little stone farmhouse.

I love that bones x kirk are just a walking ao3 fic in the 2009 film. the writers said spirk has had enough time in the sun time for MY otp, and had them meet at the lowest points of their lives. mccoy is drunk and threatening to puke on jim, jim is hungover/looks like shit, and then mccoy, the most dramatic man on the shuttle who has been spouting about imminent death, goes “all I got left r my bones” and offers him a drink from his flask. instead of being like ok this guy is mental he goes this guy is my new best friend. and then they spend their entire time at the academy as best friends! and when jim isn’t allowed onto the ship, bones risks his entire career to bring him along. because not only is it jim’s dream to see the black (not his), but he can’t imagine going out there without him. they started their relationship at rock bottom, and grew together. they rebuild their lives together. and they are a part of each other’s foundations
