But Not As We Know It by [livejournal.com profile] spikeface (NC-17)

Hi everyone! My name is [livejournal.com profile] izzyfics, but you can call me Izzy, and I'll be driving the Star Trek Reboot Crack Van this month. Since I am an equal-opportunity fanfic reader, I will be reccing stories of all types of pairings and genres. I hope you will find something new to read and enjoy.

Starting off fast and hard (*snerk*) with an epic Mirrorverse fic:

Fandom: Star Trek (2009)
Pairing(s): Kirk/McCoy, Spock/McCoy, Kirk/Spock/McCoy
Length: Big Bang length (6 parts on lj)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] spikeface
Author Website: on LJ
Why this must be read: First of all, [livejournal.com profile] spikeface likes to take what you think you know about a situation and turn it on its heels. In this one, McCoy is the lone survivor of the regular-verse Enterprise being blown up and wakes up two months later on the ISS Enterprise. The best part of this scenario is that McCoy looks at the mirrorverse in a way that we would too--with disbelief and a sense of justice (but also longing to connect with the people he knows). Also, there is drama in the form of relationships from his old life and what was left behind of the late mirror!McCoy. Lots of angst and, of course, hot sex.

He opened his eyes before he could stop himself, but to his shock he didn't wake up back in the Argelian hotel room. He was still on the biobed, and Christine Chapel was staring down at him. Her uniform was showing an unusual amount of midriff, but otherwise, she was just like he remembered.

He all but fell out of bed in his hurry to get up and as Chapel moved forward to support him he wrapped her up in his arms. She froze, and as the moment stretched on never actually relaxed into him. But she was warm and real and McCoy was insane but he didn't care. He'd missed her, like he'd missed them all, but he hadn't realized just how much until he could touch her again.

"Doctor," she said again, this time more strained, and McCoy let go. Chapel tucked a strand of her hair back into place primly. "How are you feeling?"

"Good," McCoy replied, still dazed. Had he snapped? Everything felt so real. But no, he realized, not quite, because Chapel had boots up to her thighs, and there was a knife tucked into one side. "I mean, terrible. I think I'm insane."

"You're not insane, sir." Chapel was still all business, but underneath there was the same mocking tone he'd missed so much.

It only made it hurt more, to try to explain that this was all in his head. "But I can't – you're all…"

"Dead?"

He nodded.

"The captain will explain."
