Summary
Christopher Pike would do anything for his adopted son, world-renowned archaeologist, Jim Kirk. When Pike's fiercest enemy, John Harrison, kidnaps Jim as a way to destroy Pike, he nearly manages to do so. After fourteen months in captivity, Jim is found, but he is not the son Pike once knew.
After a staggering number of failed attempts to reach Jim, Pike decides there is only one other man who could possibly help - a discouraged, burnt out Dr. Leonard H. McCoy.
There's more than meets the eye behind McCoy's reluctance to take the case. He'd rather take the highway, keep this tragic part of his life behind him...
But if there is one man who can convince him to return, to take on what appears to be a hopeless situation, it's the patient, himself. Jim.
***The “prequel” to this story is now finished. Act 2 will begin in Chapter 12.***

Summary
Before Jim can fully understand the deep love he's always shared with Bones, or express the affection he feels for him that goes well beyond brotherhood, an accident changes things forever.

Now that he has an innocent, four-year-old boy named Jimmy on his hands on the Yorktown, he vows to protect him at all costs while searching for a cure. He knows what awaits Jim back in Riverside. He'll die first before sending a vulnerable child back to that place.
It just so happens, the rest of Jim's crew feel the same way.

Summary
Leonard has waited an entire year to speak, his secret romance with James enduring as long as his vow of silence. But his James deserves far more from him than this, his identity, reinvented, as a devoted but mute healer to the king.

Summary
"Protect 'im?” McCoy slurred. “Now, how the hell am I gonna do that?”
“You will make them believe it is Jim who leaves first. That it was him who has been shot, instead.” Spock paused, concerned when the injured man’s lashes flutter and his eyes roll back in his head. But it was only briefly. Hazel eyes soon peeked through again. “It will be dangerous, but you will succeed.”
McCoy’s laugh was short and weak, as he blinked himself awake. Spock felt a prick of remorse, for the way in which the medical team had kept him lucid, just enough to speak with him.
“The hell I will. I'm shot, not a hero,” McCoy said hoarsely.
“That is why you must listen very carefully.”

You Give Me Feelings I Adore by arrowinthesky (restfulsky5) for junker5

Summary
Jim has a plan, her dad has no clue, and Joanna knows twice as much as they do. Starting with the fact that her dad and Jim are so in love that they can't make heads or tails of the wrapping paper and the tape dispenser Nana has on hand. They're too busy making eyes at each other.
Unbelievable. They can run a ship together, but wrapping gifts? That's another story.
Still, Joanna will always say it was a good thing she'd stepped up to help them. And, with a shared affection in their eyes, they will always agree.
Loosely based on my WIP, And if I Stand Next to You. However, it's not necessary to be reading that to understand this story.

Summary
"Winona, you have to give me more than that."
She sucked in a breath and spun around, striding toward him with a fierce expression. She was at least six inches shorter than he was, but when she stood at her full height and pointed her finger at him, he was the one who fell short.
"No, that's where you're wrong, McCoy. I'm not obligated to give you anything," she said through clenched teeth. "But since you're here, you will listen to me. Right now, all my son needs is peace and quiet, no one to bother him. Including you. You left him, McCoy."

Summary
"Whatever happens next, remember that it's for your own good," Gaila said with a pert lift to her chin.
"Right."
She sighed. "Here goes," she said, and opened the door.
Jim stood in the doorway, ready to greet his guests with a warm courtesy that was influenced by Gaila's pheremones, only to stare, slackjawed, at the man who appeared. The same man who'd misjudged him.
McCoy solemnly stared back, a duffel bag slung over his shoulder and a suitcase in his hand. Jim's stomach flipped as he guessed the reason behind it. Spock stood right behind him, his expression hopeful.
Too shocked to speak, Jim made a small noise in his throat.
"Hello, Jim," McCoy said quietly.

Summary
"He liked to think he wasn't a weak man. Just...holding it together. For Joanna's sake."
On the surface, Leonard has it all. He's a respected surgeon, boyfriend to a beautiful, successful woman, and father to a teenaged daughter who loves him. Underneath, he's haunted by his secrets, burdened by his choices, and living with the very woman he's working to bring down. He'd loathe his life completely, who he's become, if it weren't for one man and his love. A new beginning is on the horizon, with Jim by his side.
But the wrong secrets resurface. His future swiftly darkens, and he discovers he can't trust anyone.
Maybe not even himself.
