Why this must be read:

Author’s summary: Leonard McCoy doesn't hate Jim ALL the time. Just, you know. Mostly. / You couldn't subdue Jim Kirk if you put a muzzle on him. And anyway, McCoy's looked it up, and they don't make them for humans. Jim/Bones friendship.

dress without sleeves is one of those authors who could write pretty much anything and I know I’m guaranteed to love it. Her writing style is clear and lyrical and witty and an utter delight to read. Needless to say, I was super excited when she jumped into the Star Trek fandom, and even more excited that she wrote about that most epic of friendships. Though there is the requisite drinking and shenanigans, this is a slightly quieter look at Jim and McCoy in the Academy and in the aftermath of the Narada. I particularly like that we get to meet Sam Kirk, which gives us a chance to see another side of Jim and gives McCoy someone with whom to commiserate about his crazy best friend. And as much as I love shipping Jim and McCoy, this fic really is strictly about friendship. As dress without sleeves says in her author’s note, “The best romance is a bromance.” I couldn’t agree more.
