McCoy accepts his hand and shakes it warmly. Regardless of whatever inter-dimensional catastrophe has caused this particular meeting, it’s only polite.

His grin settles in to an amused smile as he gives an appreciative nod to his counterpart’s counterargument. “A fair point - forgive me if I’ve been presumptuous. Although…” McCoy releases Leonard’s hand and brings his to his chin in contemplation. “You seem… younger. That doesn’t necessarily mean I was first, mind, but anyway…”

His gaze drops from the man’s eyes to continue his mental comparison. A ring - different, but on the same finger. Interesting. Maybe they aren’t so different. At least, not as different as he’s seen in another reality.

“What drew you to the endless void so early, then?” he asks. After a beat, he offers his assumption - “Jocelyn?”

Leonard’s grin flickers. That’s almost certainly what it means, and meeting another version of himself is far too exciting for the fine details to matter, anyhow. They’re from separate realities with different lives, memories, probably preferences. It’s his greatest hope that the opportunity to sit around for awhile and shoot the shit is not too much to ask for. 

At the mention of his ex, one brow shoots up, and he presses his lips together in a thin line. It doesn’t hurt anymore - hasn’t, for a long time - but he hadn’t even considered her role in this convoluted equation. 

“Oh yeah,” he sighs, “You bet.” Then, because he can’t possibly resist, or risk not knowing about any other potential version of her, “Jo...?”

⚪ White - What drew you so much to your muse?

I have always really loved Data. The first time I saw TNG, he was my favourite. There is something so wonderful about his curiosity and how gentle he is with everything and everyone. Data is everything I wish I was.  Lore is everything I used to be, or am on a bad day. I’m definitely not as rude or mean as Lore (and I hope I never was), but all of his negative, spiraling thoughts are ones that I’ve worked through in the past. Besides relating to him on that level, he’s just sort of fun to play because he’s a mess.  B-4 is that minor, minor canon that I just love and I’ve created a huge headcanon around him and I’m really passionate about the whole thing I’ve built and he’s sort of my own thing that doesn’t see much action on here.  I’ve just finished DS9 for the first time. When I started watching, everyone told me that Garak would be my favourite. That he’s the best character ever. And he is legitimately one of the best characters I’ve ever seen. I cannot explain my love for this character, but it’s strong haha. 

Mostly I’ve written Spock and McCoy. I’ve written a LOT of Spock and McCoy. But for some reason, the 2300s are consuming my life right now.

“It suits you,” McCoy says, his voice soft and low as he approaches Jim with a subdued smile. He lifts his hand to touch his face, running his thumb down Jim’s check and along the ridge of his jaw. He’d never imagined his own captain with a beard, hell, he’d never seen him with so much as a hint of scruff. But this Jim, it seems as right and natural as his bright blue eyes - a surprise at first, but one which settles easily in to his sense of regard for the man.

It’s not often Jim grows his facial hair out.  For the longest time it came in patchy and not the best, and he hated growing it out with a giant patch of pale, freckled skin glaring out in between.  It’d finally started growing with some sense after he hit 25, and by then he hated having a face full of thick brown hair that left him itchy and overly warm.

Now, the beard shows patches of gray around his chin.  He stills as Leonard approaches, a soft smile dragging up and lifting the laugh lines at the corners of his bright blue eyes, “Think so?” He damn near purrs as Leonard’s thumbs brush his jaw and chin, tracing the grain of the hair and making him tilt his head to follow the touch for more.

T_T Oh my gosh you are very sweet. Thank you so much. This has been a WEEK and this made me so happy.

"Let me guess," McCoy said, resting his elbow on the back of Jim's chair. "Too busy for shore leave? Or do you perhaps appreciate the proven benefits of a bit of fresh air and some time away? I, for one, am always prepared to partake in a non-reconstituted meal."

“Too busy for shore leave?” Jim half scoffs, turning to cast bright blue eyes behind him to glance at Bones.  It has been...an adventure to say the least that both this Leonard and well...their leonard on the same ship.  The two separates have their own personality, their own interesting way at approaching a problem and Jim would be a bold-faced liar if he said he didn’t enjoy watching them from a distance at how they interact.  

His thoughts return to the thought of shore leave that looms just outside of their ship.  A typical docking and restocking, they’ve got a few days to themselves to explore the port and planet, and proper food.  “I want a real pizza.  not that cardboard thing that Starfleet says is the real deal.  Whoever made THAT code clearly never had a proper cheesy pizza.  The good artery clogging kind.”

@curearainyday // Dr. McCoy ;; 

Data had not had much experience with the ship’s Chief Medical Officer. He was the only officer on board the Enterprise who was not required to attend the annual physical check-up, so aside from seeing the doctor’s frankly unnecessary trips to the bridge, Lieutenant Data had no reason to interact with the man. 

From what he knew about him, they most likely would not get along. Data spent what little spare time he allowed in the company of few other people. He found the occasional discussion with Commander Spock to be interesting, and he would consider the man his closest associate on board. Seeing the interaction between Dr. McCoy and the first officer led Data to believe that, due to his similarities to the Vulcan, the doctor would rather not interact with someone that runs on pure logic. 

It was inappropriate to make assumptions though, and he had no personal feelings toward Dr. McCoy one way or the other, of course. So when he had been asked to deliver a PADD to the doctor, Data had thought nothing of it. He took the PADD from Captain Kirk and headed to the turbolift. 

He had only been in sick bay one time, during his initial tour of the ship. It seemed tidy, but the general consensus seemed to be that while one was there they were expected to stay out of the doctor’s way. He had hoped to find Nurse Chapel upon his arrival - they had met once or twice before, and she was exceedingly knowledgeable about artificial life for some reason, citing her former fiance who worked in the field - but he found only an empty facility. 

“Doctor McCoy?” He wandered into the room, peeking around the corner toward McCoy’s office, PADD held carefully in both hands.

😁 - Three Happy Head Canons

(From here, accepting!)

1. Hugh is, as a baseline, a relatively happy person. He smiles easily. At least early on, before the galaxy beats the joy out of him. This is especially the case for Acting Ensign verse Hugh, he's a very very happy kid. Main verse Hugh is still pretty happy, just not the "radiating joy" level that Acting Ensign verse Hugh is.

2. Some of his happiest memories are also his earliest- and they come from his time on the Enterprise! His happiest memory is actually connecting the dots regarding friendship and realizing Geordi was his friend.

3. Cuddling absolutely brings Hugh joy. Cuddling with his friends, cuddling with Data, cuddling with his dog... Hugh lives for it. Being in such close quarters with someone and it being good is such a marvel to him for so long. He likes to be able to rest his head on someone's shoulders.
