katikat"Knives in the Water" by green_postit, read by reena_jenkins | Kirk/McCoy | AU, very dark! | A Star Trek Reboot Mobster AU, where just about all the choices are bad ones, and you have to stick with The Family to get you through it all... | 1hr. 50mins.
I rec'd this fic already, some time ago, but now I've listened to the podfic version - and man, I'm still just as much in love with it as back then. It's so dark, but the love between Kirk and Bones is even more profound because of that.
McCoy calls Kirk before he calls the police.
He can't remember what he says, but Kirk finds him in a blood-splattered room on the third floor. The display on his cell phone reveals only four minutes have passed from the time he put the call through to Kirk dropping down on his knees next to McCoy and pulling him firmly against his chest.
McCoy curls into Kirk easily, lets Kirk's hands dig into McCoy's neck and head to keep him as close to his pounding chest as he can. He smells like cigarette smoke and gin and McCoy nearly rattles apart under the familiar smells saturating his body.
