ST: Phasers to Stun (18/100)

[moogsthewriter]

Title: Gratitude
Prompt: 68. Spock and McCoy, "green-blooded hobgoblin"
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG/K+
Characters: McCoy, Spock, Kirk
Pairings: None
Word count: 100
Spoilers/Warnings: None, really.

Summary: Once in awhile, McCoy's glad Spock's around.

There are days where McCoy wishes he had the physical capability of strangling Spock.

True, he's impressed by Spock's tenacity. Somehow the Vulcan is able to make Jim Kirk see reason, which McCoy knows is no small feat--Jim's one of the most stubborn people he's ever met.

McCoy's not so impressed by that same tenacity when it's directed his way. 

But on days like today, when Spock brings Jim to sickbay so he can be patched up after another landing party misadventure, McCoy's grateful to have the Vulcan around.

Without Spock's stubbornness, his best friend wouldn't be here.

How can 100 words tell so much! Lovely!

Thank you!

Aww, that's sweet! Hard to believe it's only 100 words!

[moogsthewriter.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it. :D

Awww. Bones. Sweetheart.

He is, right? :D

Today's word is ... Exceptional.

This was exceptional!

You got McCoy and Spock perfectly. Even in the original serious, McCoy felt this way about Spock. Seemed to tolerate him more than anything. Didn't like the fact that the Vulcan was unfeeling.

Which means I can either read this as the new Star Trek or the original :)

Hee, I'm glad to hear it. I've watched a handful of the original Star Trek, and I'd say that Bones is pretty much the same in both of them. :D Glad I can write him like that.

I'm totally enjoying your fanfics (thanks for writing non-slash ones... not my thing, either) and I've friended you! Hope you don't mind. :) I'm also anticipating the next installment of Requiem. :P

Aw, thank you! I'm glad to hear it - it's always nice to find other non-slash fans. And as I'm sure you've seen, I've friended you, too, so I obviously don't mind being friended. :D
