So, this has been going around in my head for the longest time, and I'm slowly (and sadly) beginning to realize I'm never going to write it. But I really want to read it, so here goes...

Anyone ever seen the magnificent film "Truly, Madly, Deeply", starring Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman? I'd love to see an AU K/S fic based on that. Basically, Kirk's lover, Gary Mitchell, has recently - and unexpectedly - died and he's having a hard time getting past his grief. While Kirk hovers on the verge of despair, Gary comes back to haunt him benignly and, surreptitiously, to help him move on. Because Kirk has just met a mysterious man named Spock, who could be so much more to him if he can just let go of Gary's memory and face up to a future without him...

Can be set in Starfleet, or modern day, or wherever you like. I'm biased towards TOS, but, you know, if you can make it work with reboot then go for it! Also, bonus points for including Bones as the Bill Patterson/Sandy character, and as many of the other guys as you can fit in. But I'd like lots of angst, please - the movie makes me cry like a hungry, angry baby and I gotta have some tears here too! Pretty please?
