I love this so much! Jim's relationship with his mother is definitely under explored in the films, and this is exactly how I imagined it to be. I love Bones & Jim scenes as well, they have such a great dynamic.

I really like this. We don't get a lot of detail into Jim's relationship with Winona, but I think this distance between them is very realistic.

i'd appreciate if you write jim's recovery...

Really enjoyed this glimpse into Jim and Bones. Gotta love that Bones cares enough about him to be not just his doctor and friend, but also therapist.

Perfectness in words

This was really great, thanks!

Awesome! If I was Bones, I would hope that Jim gets better asap just to stop him badgering me to let him out!
Poor Kirk...good to know that he has a friend in Bones to call him out on his writing and characterisation!

Always a little surprised at how harsh jims mother is in some of these stories...still I liked this one, God Kirk/ bones interaction...the doctor does know best.

Poor Jim :( I'm glad he has Bones and the rest of the crew to comfort him in lieu of his mother. Wounds like that take time to heal, and he has a great friend in Bones. Nice job.

I love the way you write. Thank you :)

Great story, nice details, and the dynamic between Jim and Bones is *perfect*.

I really enjoyed this.

Amazing, as always. I love reading your stories; love your characters. They're just so, well, real!

Another beautiful piece. A little more maturity, but still the same old friends. Difficult to balance, but Shoreleave does it best.

Excellent story! I love "Bones-the-psychologist" stories. For all McCoy's gruff exterior, he's got great bedside manners, and you captured this well.

Love your follow up on Beyond.
