Summary
“Like we’re in love?”
The words burned his tongue, coated thickly in disbelief upon their repetition. It wasn’t often he found himself rendered nearly speechless – but his capacity to think is limited, his brain unable to comprehend how such a catastrophic phrase had dropped so casually from Nancy’s booze-loosened lips.
“It’s bullshit.”
_______

Summary
James Tiberius Kirk was a firm believer in the stars.
The stars had led Jim to Starfleet, to Captaincy, to a life of great adventure - just like he knew they would.
Most of all, the stars had led him to the thing he didn't even know he wanted when he gazed upon them as a little boy. And that was the man who was beside him the entire way.
Leonard McCoy.
[Jim and Bones sit on the porch of their new home, finally retired from everything Starfleet has required of them. Holding hands, they reminisce about recent events and their years on and off the Enterprise - realizing that from the Academy to now, time changed both everything... and nothing.]
