When Spock is seriously wounded, his life is promptly destroyed - and Jim, time and time again, makes decisions that will shatter the both of them. Love and fate is not enough to hold two people together: sometimes, stupidity and fear can drive them apart just as hard.

And sometimes, McCoy gets the urge to knock heads together for this.

A five-part series, currently in progress, with heavy angst warnings. The author takes no responsibility for tissue or anger management therapy expenses.
