I want to hear about so many of these, but ... amor aliquando etiam nocet for the WIP ask meme?
absolutely!!
'amor aliquando etiam nocet' is gen McCoy & Kirk emotional h/c set after the five year mission, when kirk is an admiral and mccoy is trying (and failing) to retire.
the fic follows the prompt "i’ve had a really awful day so i started kicking a car out of frustration and it turned out to be your car I’m so sorry", with mccoy finding out he's been stuck in a frontier medicine program instead of getting his pension (i'm following "Leonard McCoy: Frontier Doctor" canon a little here) and kirk coming out of a meeting to find his old friend, you guessed it, kicking the shit out of his car. they haven't seen each other since kirk and spock both unexpectedly announced they were leaving, so it's a chance for them to clear the air and try to repair the rift that's grown between them.
the title comes from the second half of a phrase that means "friendship always benefits, love sometimes injures", although i'm still not sure i've got the right translation for that? one of these days i'll figure it out
