His hands still tremor by MissPolyester

Summary
They wake in a cell with only one exit—and it will kill him if he takes it.
The device fused to McCoy’s chest is already counting his heartbeats. Jim and Spock can walk out alive. He cannot. Every second the amber light eats, he orders them to leave, voice sharp enough to cut, hands shaking hard enough to betray him. They refuse. The air between the three of them tightens until it hurts: rank, duty, years of almost-touch, and the raw knowledge that this might be the last time they ever stand this close.
A locked door. A ticking bomb. And three men who would rather burn together than let one of them die alone.

Summary
After their shuttle is shot down, a badly injured McCoy drifts into a childhood memory of a hotel pool, a stray cat, and the lesson his father taught him.
As Kirk and Spock struggle to keep him alive, the memory leads McCoy back to the choices that brought them there; sometimes doing everything you can still isn’t enough.

Summary
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, Mr. Spock," Captain Tarok said. "It is a well-known saying of Surak."
"I have a sneaking suspicion that Surak didn't intend to justify genocide," McCoy snapped.
A mission to retrieve a Vulcan patrol ship that went off-course into the Neutral Zone presents some unexpected opportunities - if the Enterprise can keep things under control long enough to take them, of course.
