Captured on a routine shore leave, Jim and Spock find themselves as the most recent additions to the population of a mysterious world, under the control of an invisible and deadly power.  As they struggle to survive and to understand the circumstances of their abduction, they are tested in ways they could never have imagined, relying on each other and on their own inner strength, and discovering the potential of their transformative relationship.

A poem.

Jim has always been drawn to his first officer in a way that defies his previous experience, but insists he’s never been in love.  Spock doesn’t understand the emotional response he has to his captain, relying on a definition that doesn’t quite fit.  The perception and realization of love is interpreted through the ending of one relationship and the beginning of another.

(AU)  The Federation is gone, swept from existence in the wake of an alien invasion from outside the known galaxy.  The Enterprise was one of the last standing, but now her crew is gone; dead, or spread across the galaxy, sold into slavery, or sent into harsh imprisonment.  Jim Kirk’s spirit is all but broken when a ghost from his past returns to his life.  In the wreckage of all he ever knew, with his very identity gone and his memories shattered, can the former captain find a way to rise from the ashes?

(AU) On a dystopian Earth, a young loner and his grieving mother take in a strange social outcast and her son, bringing about an unlikely relationship between the two men.  When an unexpected tragedy prompts a shocking revelation, the two must rely on each other to survive, discovering a connection neither knew was possible amidst a terrifying threat that spans worlds.

A poem inspired by undying love.

In the months after V'ger, Jim has everything he has ever wanted, but he is faced with overwhelming feelings and lurking fear that he has yet to face. After a crisis unfolds, a friend visits, and secrets are laid bare.  

Written for the OMS Challenge 2019

Jim harbors a secret that he can’t escape, no matter how hard he tries. And when a first move comes unexpectedly, he finds that what seems too good to be true most definitely is. 

Spock never wished to burden his first friendship with shameful emotion. But when his hand is forced, he discovers that truth would have been stronger than ignorance.  

Attraction comes full circle as both Jim and Spock realize the consequences of “meant to be”.

Written for Valentine's Day.  McCoy attempts to bring some, in his opinion, much-needed romance to the lives of his two friends.  He soon figures out that love doesn't necessarily require traditional forms of expression.

(Prequel to Angels and Demons and The Vanguard) 

A split-second decision changes Jim’s life forever, as a desperate bid for survival results in a bond with Spock.  As Jim tries to understand their new connection, he must contend with his own inner struggles.  Surprising new enemies are revealed and unexpected threats emerge, and Jim must come to terms with the true significance of their bond before it is too late.

Excerpt:

He lay on the hard deck of the shuttlecraft, the air around him cold and growing colder.  His breaths came in gasps, now, as the oxygen slowly diminished.  Darkness appeared to surround him, but he managed to keep his vision fixed on the steady gaze of warm, brown eyes.  His head ached, not only from the effects of slow asphyxiation, but also from the recent hasty and intense joining with another’s mind.  He inhaled raggedly, his voice barely a whisper, “Kobayashi Maru, Spock….pretty sure…what you did is…cheating…never…let you…live it down…”.  The blackness expanded, and his body grew limp, his lips still curled in a final, defiant grin.
