Creepy. And touching at the same time. The mirrorverse is quite a fascinating place for fanfic. How do you write romance when everybody is psycho?
Kirk reaches forward, brushing aside the hair that's hanging over McCoy's forehead. "To cut it off, to cure it, easy," Kirk whispers, all too aware of the weight of the knife hanging from his sash. He could be done with McCoy now, could make it look like an assassination attempt and blame the people who had been working with Adams (Kirk knows who they all are - she gave them up eventually), or he could even blame Chapel, the last one to see McCoy alive. But then Kirk would be down two trustworthy medical personnel, and their knowledge about his physiological weaknesses. Even in the face of what they might know about his emotional one, it's too important to risk.
