Leonard McCoy + orange/red asked by @twinkboimler & anonymous

[muirmarie]

I need to hear more about mcspirk joanna not his, please and thank you!!!!!

so I am generally a strident Jocelyn defender, the Jocelyn in my head is great, and I love her so much, and she and Leonard fell apart due to personal tragedies and their own independent natures, that's generally how I think of her and think of them.

But. I started writing something one day where Jocelyn is........not like that.

“You know I have a daughter,” McCoy says at last, his voice soft.

Kirk laughs a little.

“You brag about her every chance you get, Bones. Yeah, we know you've got a daughter.”

“She's not...mine. I mean, she's mine, she's my baby and she's going to be my baby until she's in her forties, and I'll never love anyone the way I love her—she's my daughter. But she isn't—she isn't mine.”

Kirk sits down heavily, his knee bumping McCoy's. McCoy can feel the pressure of Spock's steady gaze sinking into him.

“You didn't know,” Kirk says.

“She was ten. I couldn't—they wouldn't give me custody, because she isn't—Jocelyn didn't even tell me, I found out when her lawyer sent my lawyer the DNA results. I couldn't—she was being generous, you know, in letting me stay in contact with her. That's what they told me. Jo's my daughter, and I was lucky I was going to get to talk to her. Lucky.”

His voice is unbearably brittle, and he shuts his eyes against the pressure building behind them, against the pressure tightening like a band across his chest.

Lucky, he thinks.

“That's why you joined Starfleet,” Spock says.

McCoy nods, his eyes still closed.

“If I stayed, I wouldn't—I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from trying to see her, I wouldn't—it would've hurt her,” he says. “Me and Jocelyn and—and him, her—her biological father—we would've—it would've hurt her, us fighting. More than it would've hurt her for me to leave. If I was—if I was across the galaxy, then there'd be a reason, at least. Something she could understand.”

____________

I don't know the full shape of the plot, but the heart of it is: Joanna turns eighteen, enrolls in a university far away from Earth, and gets permission to hitch a ride on the Enterprise.

(joce i'm so so sorry that i'm doing this to you)

Beautiful James

Summary:

Maybe this isn’t what fate had planned for them, but Jim and Spock have never been good with accepting what should be. Except for this. Them. (Or, a post-Beyond fic that re-contextualizes all three movies)

Rating: E

(AOS Spirk, 9k, canon compliant, complete)

↳ read it on ao3

Written for @twinkboimler as #3 in the "pick a song" requests - Beautiful James by Placebo

WIP guessing game: laugh/laughed!

From my as-yet-untitled Xedgin fic:

Well, we’re a pair of sad sacks, aren’t we?” He laughed, [although it sounded hollow even to his own ears.]

and

Xenk began to laugh too, until they were both out of breath, tears of mirth and old grief trailing down their cheeks.

From 'My World is No Longer Hollow', a McSpirk fic:

Jim laughed, a wet sort of thing, as if he too was half choked up with emotion.

and

The silence was again broken by a laugh from Jim, who had carefully extricated his hand from between Leonard’s and Spock’s, and had rounded the table to clap them both on the shoulder.

Thank you! The word was in 2/4 of my easily-searchable WIPs, so not a bad choice. Seems like Jim does a lot of laughing in that one WIP :')

[spirkme915]

a list of the spirk fics i've read in the last week and loved:

The Claims We Make by Wrath_of_Bones @wrathofbones - tattoos, oblivious jim, stubbornly silent spock, hurt/comfort, the whole ship knows what's up, i tore through this at record speed

a flash of silver by remylebae @twinkboimler - tongue piercing, bar hookup, this is my new canon for aos

This Side is Paradise by numblittlebot - canon fill-in, hurt spock, gentle jim, wildly comforting

Amarantine Blues by remusmoonshine - hurt spock (i'm beginning to see a pattern here), desperate jim, just enough "oh shit" to get your blood pumping then softness

and one not-spirk (t'pristine) fic that i loved:

How to get Divorced on Vulcan by Alsike @nike-ravus - a comic about t'pring and christine that's oh so lovely and beautiful, bonding, pon farr, THE EMOTIONS

(you can find previous recs under fic rec and/or spirk fic recs)

hi it’s our birthday! I think about you every time this day comes around even though we don’t really know each other. I just think it’s cool that we share this day. Small connections with people around the world etc. happy birthday!

hello hello!!! happy belated. i'm very glad to share it with you, too. (and what an excellent day to be born, to boot! early spring. everything is in bloom back home for me, and where I live now, though it's quite a bit colder, little heads of green buds are just beginning to creep out of the trees.) I hope all was beautiful for you, and that this year proves to be a happy one—variously peaceful and exciting!
