“There is no need to worry, Doctor.”

Bones, who had been relieved of duty twenty seven minutes ago, was sitting in the observation bay, the screens open to reveal the bright dark beyond, littered with stars that were dying as they were seen. 

“Not worried.” Bones took a sip of the whisky Scotty had poured him. The entire bridge crew had circled in during the near half hour that he’d been parked here. Waiting for word, feeling the itch of Jim’s absence like a growing rash. He wasn’t dead. Couldn’t be. Wouldn’t let him be. But he was gone and there was a pit growing at the bottom of Bones’ belly where every bad thought tumbled, growing as it was fed. 

“His vitals are steady.” Spock added. 

“Yep.” Bones had a PADD with that readout. Given to him by Nurse Chapel. 

“Then why are you here alone. You should be getting rest.”

Bones turned his head, eyebrow raised in an approximate imitation of Spock’s preferred look of disbelief. “You gonna rest?”

“I’m not relieved of duty.”

“I shouldn’t be either. Not the first time I’ve dealt with this. Won’t be the last.”

“Doctor M’Benga made the logical call. Would you rather be alert now when we are waiting and searching or later when Jim needs you most?”

Bones swiped a hand across his eyes. The tremor had started three hours ago when he was circling forty-eight hours without sleep. Every time he shut his eyes, he saw the shuttle Jim was on bob on the radar and disappear. 

No rhyme or reason. A diplomatic shuttle meant to rendezvous at a nearby Starfleet space station. A common occurrence when the brass wanted to save overtime hours and top secret clearance. Bones had felt uneasy about going alone. Spock had suggested accompanying him. Jim’s reassuring smile didn’t quite reach his eyes but he had gave Spock a squeeze on the shoulder and pecked a too-dry kiss to Bones’ cheek. 

“Just doesn’t feel right.” Bones said at last looking down at the wedding ring that felt heavy on his hand, like it contained the weight of his missing husband. 

“No.” Spock agreed. 

The space station was unhelpful and guarded, sending out their own ships to investigate but without comment or reassurances. 

Orders had been to wait in orbit around the space station until further orders. That had been forty-eight hours ago. 

Bones stood up, eliciting a questioning tilt of his head from Spock. 

‘I’m getting on a shuttle.”

“Leonard--,” Spock began but Bones just grabbed the padd with Jim’s vitals and said, “You coming?”

Jim wakes to a too dry mouth and an oxygen mask fixed to his face. 

A hand is smoothing the hair away from his forehead. 

“Bones?” He asks, voice muffled by the ask and the fact that his voice sounded like he was eighty-years-old and a smoker. 

“Shh, darlin’. Just rest.”

“Happened?”

“Later.” Bones leaned over and pressed a kiss to his forehead. 

Jim didn’t recognize the surface above his head. It wasn’t the gunmetal grey of the shuttle or the sterile white of medbay. 

“Where are we?” He asked again and choked. His throat really did hurt. 

Bones looked away from Jim for a second before he spoke. “Safe.” 

“The kid awake?” A voice, familiar but unfamiliar said. 

Jim lifted his head just enough to see a man in a deep yellow command tunic give him a sardonic look. “Welcome back to the land of the living.”

“Do you require anything else, Doctor McCoy?” Another voice, one that Jim instantly recognized as Ambassador Spock said. 

“No, thank you.” Jim struggled to sit up. Ambassador Spock had died last year and the other man he knew from the mind meld. His counterpart. Shit. 

“Maybe a sedative.” Bones muttered and leaned over to gently guide Jim up. His head pulsed with the weirdest hangover he’d ever felt. 

“Welcome to our universe.” Kirk said and behind him he saw his own Spock make a face. He was probably having a conniption at having to deal with two Jims, let alone his own counterpart. 

Well, this was going to be interesting.

AOS AU where, when Spock Prime dies, his ghost is joined by the ghosts of Kirk Prime and McCoy Prime, and they haunt the Enterprise together.

They make sarcastic remarks about everything and become the Statler-and-Waldorf of the ship. Maybe they make themselves visible occasionally, when someone needs advice.

Kirk Prime giving AOS Kirk Spock's family tree: you're going to need this.
