Star Trek Fic: Rule 69 (McCoy/Uhura)

[igrockspock]

A long, long time ago, I knew how to write stories that were, oh, about 3,000 words long. That time has passed. This summer, when I was filled with Star Trek nostalgia, I saw a lovely McCoy/Uhura prompt at rarepair fest and thought I would write a small treat. 9,000 words and four months later, here we are... I'm a little frustrated that it took me so long, but I'm excited that I finally got to do justice to my favorite Star Trek rare pair.

Title:Rule 69
Rating: Teen
Characters & Pairings: McCoy/Uhura, Gaila, Sulu
Summary: When Nyota agreed to let Gaila set her up on a blind date, she never imagined it would be with Dr. McCoy -- and she definitely never imagined that she would end up liking him.
Word count: 9,000
Notes: Set in an AU where Spock and Uhura amicably chose to part ways after Into the Darkness

Whether or not I manage to read this (the spirit is willing but the clock ticks fast) I am delighted you wrote it!

Thanks! It's nice to know there are still people interested in reading this fandom and pairing! And no worries if you can't get to it - 9,000 words is a lot, I know.

Loved this! Just a heads up (didn't want to leave it on the story itself) that I think maybe you have an italic tag open or something toward the end of the cave scene? Starting with:

Anyway, if you could not die in here

Wow, that is so weird! There were actually not any open italics tags, but AO3 had added a lot of random italics tags that were not in my google doc (I double checked!)

Anyway, thanks for the heads up! I can't believe I missed that!

[secretsolitaire]

Strange! Thanks a lot, AO3...
