SpockFact #37
Spock doesn’t know what Jim is short for and at this point in their relationship it’s just too late to ask.
well I’m glad we all agree
Bones’ survival suit
(Tags via @thecaptainandthesergeant)
headcanon that bones actually does have one of these suits but it’s in his kelvin pod in medbay which he hates because he’s the only person who’s not part of the bridge crew who has a kelvin pod and he’s complained to jim about it because dammit if they’re going to put kelvin pods in medbay then there should be one for every member of the staff and jim just looks at him and says ‘you have a pod in medbay because i know damn well that if something happens you’ll stay behind until everyone else is out even if it means waiting until it’s too late to save yourself’ and that’s what the pods are *for* they’re for protecting the people who would otherwise go down with the ship that’s why they’re called kelvin pods jim lost his father because george didn’t have one he wasn’t about to lose his bones for the same reason the pod stays but then bones isn’t in medbay when the ship is under attack and he ends up in one of the generic escape pods
and when they’re on the franklin and bones is reunited with the survivors of his staff he sees that none of them is wearing the survival suit from his pod and he gets angry because did none of you even try to get to the kelvin pod it could have kept you safer it could have gotten you out faster and not one of them even blinks ‘it was your pod doctor’ says christine and none of them have to say anything else and bones has to start grouching and barking out orders immediately so they don’t see that he’s got tears in his eyes because his staff loves him so much that every single one of them would risk their lives rather than take away just a little bit of his chance at survival
Captain. ……It’s him.
#he only says one word #she hears him say frontier and stops in her tracks #honestly i love zoe’s acting here #her little twitch everytime he says frontier #like she knows its familiar #it just takes her a moment to recognize it #‘did I not on multiple occasions #demonstrate an exceptional aural sensitivity’ (via staruhuras)

#doctor gorgeous is totally what the crew calls bones behind his back #jim hears about this one day #and at first think’s it’s the funniest fucking thing he’s ever heard #but also totally agrees and jumps on board #and one day he accidentally says ‘doctor gorgeous to the bridge’ over the shipwide channel #and he doesn’t even realise it and why everyone else on the bridge is either laughing or fearing the captain’s #impending doom #until bones arrives on the bridge #eyebrow fucking sky high #and says without batting an eye ‘you wanted to see me captain handsome?’ #and jim did not even THINK it was physically possible to blush that hard

#i hate this gif so much #just imagine for a second with me #it’s time for the class picture #it’s an antiquated tradition but one that starfleet insists upon doing year after year with their graduating class #mccoy is unusually relaxed today #probably because he passed shuttle sims with flying colors yesterday night and to celebrate he got reamed into the mattress #shh we don’t talk about that jim not in public #but he’s practically walking on clouds he’s so happy that he doesn’t have to deal with incompetent fools anymore #soon he’ll be actually doing something useful #going up into space nbd not like he spent three years conquering his deadly fear of space #and so when it comes time to smile #he actually smiles #the people around him stare at him in shock but then everyone starts smiling #because the whole time all everyone ever wanted was to see a genuine huge smile on mccoy’s face #it’s like there’s a brilliant second sun on the earth’s surface when mccoy smiles #hey mccoy you should do that more often tags via johnschos
Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humility and awareness of my own frailty. - The Doctors’ Hippocratic Oath

#except look at the way he’s looking at bones #he’s like ‘come on man #say something #do something’ #but bones can’t do anything because he’s doubting jim too #look how conflicted he is #he’s torn up #and jim sees that in that last moment before the guards turn him away #he sees that bones doubts him too #and he figures that now he’s in this alone #and he can’t handle being alone so he lashes out like three seconds later (via daretodobetter)
#no but #how would you feel #if two security guards were taking your best friend away before your eyes #now we all know Bones is not an idiot #quite the opposite #he actually making the good decision #not opposing the acting captain #because what use to Jim is he if he’s relieved of his duties #if he shuts his mouth just this time it’s because it’s the only way he gets to be helpful later #but that doesn’t make it less heart breaking (via urbansexuals)

#ways jim kirk trolls bones indirectly but to great effect #five months after jim leaves this review during academy bones shows up at his dorm room door all afluster #'did you leave this' #'no' jim says; bats his eyelashes #'did you get stabbed at this establishment jim' #'maybe. i may have. i don't see wh--' #'you can't just go around getting STABBED all the time' #'i didn't say it was me' #'then you say you're going to go BACK' #'who did?????' #'was the PROPRIETOR of this establishment the one that stabbed you?' #'bones.' #'i'm just guessing based on 'tasty drinks but i got stabbed here'. the correlation between those statements--' #'bones. i'm fine.' #'--indecent behavior; what RECKLESSNESS--' (via skyllianverge)
#arent you the one who always says a little suffering is good for the soul #i never say that #but thats just it #all these things under that quote #because jim does these things to redeem himself #to redeem himself for things nobody really holds against him #sure hes done some fucked up shit #but everyone else sees past that and sees his strength and his courage and his compassion and his intelligence and his skill #but he doesnt #he thinks his faults define him and he tries to redeem himself #even though no one #especially not his beloved crew #would ever demand that from him #they would stop him if they could #every single one of them #because he is the soul of the enterprise and they need him #jim kirk thinks suffering is the only thing that will make him better #that might make him deserving of the ship and the crew he has #but hes wrong #and bones’ answer in that scene is representative of the whole crew #kill me now (tags via okirk)
holy shit i need fics that deal with this pronto
i tread with care in matters of life and death.
#hahahahahahahhahaa#do you ever think that bones kept mouthing those words to himself#as he sat by jims bedside in sf medical#because jim was growing cold and grey with death and bones was going to loose the one thing that made space beautiful#that made /living/ beautiful#do you ever think that bones murmured those words#he’d took an oath as a doctor#and he crossed that oath in so many ways#but then he looks at jim#whose like a bright supernova#who makes the glitter of stars look dull#jim with his blue eyes and his courage and scars and hurt and who bones loves so much#bones thinks;#id do anything id choose death a hundred thousands so long as jim lived (via @fithertons)
space is disease and danger, wrapped in darkness, silence and tribbles!
more close encounters of the mirror kind… for all the kirk/mccoy shippers out there.
#Kirk strikes me as a guy with too much energy #and McCoy is a slow riser if he's not running to medbay #I think it must be rare for McCoy to catch Kirk sleeping #real sleep and not traumatized or drug-induced as it is after an injury #how McCoy must cherish those rare moments when he's up first #and he can watch Kirk sleep #not as his doctor or the man on first watch #but knowing that this is a space they're sharing #and that Kirk trusts him enough to be seen like this #a little softer (via spikeface)
