Summary: What starts as a one-night stand for Cadet/Doctor Leonard McCoy and Captain Christopher Pike, ends up becoming something so much more than they could have ever imagined. Their lives together take some strange and wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) turns as they navigate through Starfleet, their family and friends, and their service on the Enterprise. Through it all, they know fate is something that won’t be denied. But maybe, just maybe, with enough hard work, it can be fixed after the fact.

Artist Appreciation: Finally, many, many thanks to my artist Saydria Wolfe. She did a fantastic job of pulling out the important scenes and creating images that completely enhanced this story.
Story
Notes
Note1: – the alien sex pollen/dubious consent is between the main pairing in the story and verbal consent is given before anything happens, but he is under the influence of the spores, so I feel it is dubious, so warning for it.
Note 2: While they haven’t met in canon (yet), Dr. Leonard McCoy exists in the prime Star Trek universe where Discovery and Strange New Worlds takes place.
Note 3: This is an AU, but I’ve tried to stay close to canon. As anyone who watched The Original Series knows, TOS was not known for its consistency. Dr. McCoy has many conflicting canon facts about him, so I’ve chosen his history from those facts.
