Summary
In the aftermath of the attack on Starfleet, McCoy goes home to Georgia to spend time with his daughter, and Jim ignores his own rest and recovery instructions to follow him there.
Jim is grieving. This McCoy knows but he hasn't realized how deeply, while McCoy carries a wound that he's never let anyone else see.
Fathers and sons, failings and families, angst and accusations. These are the stories they can only tell in the dark.

Summary
Kirk and McCoy are on leave, and take McCoy's daughter to spend Christmas with Jim's grandparents on their farm in Iowa.
There is angst and pining because it's Jim and it's Bones and it's me and I can't ever just let them be happy?
This story, FKA "Jim & Bones in Iowa" is a sequel to the story FKA "Jim & Bones in Georgia". All the stories in my "Jim & Bones in..." series stand alone -- all you have to know is that Jim and Bones were a ~thing when they were in school, but have agreed to keep a lid on it now that they serve together because if they were caught fraternizing they'd be assigned to different ships.

Summary
Sulu isn't the only one to have family meet him at Yorktown: McCoy's ex-wife and daughter arrive to spend time with him.
A handful of missing scenes from the time they spend at Yorktown before Enterprise is sent into the nebula. It isn’t exactly shore leave, but it isn’t time Kirk and McCoy expected to have together, either, and to McCoy it feels like a gift he’s afraid to look in the mouth.

Summary
Still facing away from him Jim finally says, “I thought you were dead.”
“I’m right here, Jim,” he replies, stepping up behind him.
“Bones…I watched you die.”
“It wasn’t real, sweetheart.” He puts his arms around him, propping his chin on Jim’s shoulder. “I’m right here. I’m fine.”

Let’s explore the fallout from the TOS episode Shore Leave, but make it the reboot crew and McKirk. (Summary of Shore Leave is in the story notes, you don’t need to have seen the episode.)
