Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek, or make money from this work of fan fiction.
While pondering a thought, I was struck for the idea of a triangle love story, but more than a triangle, it's like a pyramid of love. So there will be Jim/Spock with a side of just about everyone else.
I have sort of borrowed the idea of Spock being stuck in his mind due to an illness/virus from my friend GothicChesire.
We being near the middle, I will go back and pick up the beginning and continue on with different POVs.
Pyramid
Day Two – Bones' POV
McCoy ran his hand over his face as he watched the two bodies slumber on the bio-beds adjacent to one another both barely squeezing to the largest bay the doctor had. The blonde's face was twitching through a full scope of human emotion while the brunette never flinched. An audible heart monitor was clicking away at the unique speed of the patient, a tangible connection to the outside world. Both men were unconscious and would be for some time. However, that was not the cause of the physician's anguish. The last twenty-four hours had been tedious and straining on the older man. He had been forced to watch a wreck of the highest magnitude unfold at the slowest pace imaginable.
Spock had developed a serious infection which left his body reeling and his mind trying to compensate. It had been of course due to protecting Jim on an Away Mission. He had slipped into a healing trance to help speed the recovery process, and the virus had begun to attach his psyche actually ripping apart his mind from his body. After a few quick hours of research and several long web-conferences with Vulcan healers later, it had been decided that the one on board with the closest relationship should form and attachment and reach into Spock's mind to pull him free. There was not time to wait until they made it to Spock's new homeworld. McCoy had been surprised that Nyota had not volunteered but nominated Jim, but Jim had just beamed with pride and accepted the challenge. The Vulcan Healers had walked Jim through the process and McCoy had been helpless to watch as Jim collapsed into unconsciousness.
Turning back to the ancient face on the monitor, McCoy spoke. "So you mean to tell me they are married?" His left eye was twitching in frustration. The High Council had not mentioned that fact, but then Jim was so anxious to help his friend he had not thought about any ramifications of his actions. After all, that was what Bones was for; Jim Kirk had no time for such frivolous matters.
Selek nodded. "That is the human equivalent, yes. This bonding mirrors the attachment that two Vulcans would share once they have joined. Albeit, we have no documented case of anything happening such as this, the only way to know the extent of the bond will be once they awake." His tone betrayed no emotion as he relayed the crushing news.
Flexing his jaw, McCoy nodded, his stoic mask in place. "And I'm sure there is no way of undoing this in your pointy-eared society." Selek negatively shook his head and raised an eyebrow. "So when Jim finally gets inside Spock's head, the Vulcan will know what we did to him. And let me tell you, Ambassador, he will not find the situation 'acceptable'. I have seen what Spock is capable of when Jim jerks his chain, it ain't pretty." He sank down into the chair with his back to the view screen.
Hiding his amusement at this new version of his old friend behind his carefully constructed mask, Selek watched the scene before him, Spock and Jim lying supine facing one another and Bones fretting over them. Some things did not change. "I do not believe the ritual would have been successful if the two men did not share some form of attraction and fondness of one another. This would not have happened to two who would have been mutually opposed." While the entirety of Sarek's household was surprised by the news and the rush, none had been surprised by the pairing.
It felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to McCoy's chest. "I suppose you're right." He managed to grit out. "They will make an exceptional couple." He took a deep breath before turning back to the view-screen hoping his heartache was hidden. "I would like to thank you for taking the time to give me a second opinion. Sulu informs me we will reach New Vulcan in less than eight hours. So if you'll excuse me, Ambassador, I need to rest." He kept the anguish hidden behind formalities and politeness.
Sarek had not been fooled. It was obvious that this Bones had been in love with one of the two men lying before them; however which one was a mystery. "I will be looking forward to seeing you in person, Dr. McCoy." He nodded and cut of the connection. He needed to meditate on the matters at hand.
Sighing heavily, McCoy turned back to the men. Their friendship had been so fragile; this would no doubt put a huge strain on the interpersonal relationship. Swallowing his own feelings, McCoy smiled. One thing was for certain when they both awoke to the real world and absorbed the enormity of the situation; he would bet money the Vulcan would have an emotional response.
