    Summary

    Jim’s spent years pretending he’s a beta, and he can’t afford for Starfleet to find out he lied on his enlistment forms. So when he goes to Bones to get a new script for suppressants, and Bones needs a reason to put on his file, he’s happy to let Bones say that he’s trans, not lying. But…is he lying?

     

    That’s how this fic started, but it soon became a sprawling exploration of how Jim and Bones might have supported each other in their Academy days, if they’d only had a little bit more reason to cuddle and open up. Together, they face Jim’s transition, Leonard’s family issues, and the increasing difficulty of defining what their relationship is, exactly…all while pursuing their careers in Starfleet. And when they are finally deployed, in response to an emergency transmission from Vulcan, how will they handle each other being in danger?
