Leonard McCoy used to be a household name. He was one of the golden ones, a Jaeger pilot, loved by all and untouchable, until he lost his co-pilot. Now he's out of the game, or so he thinks until the past comes knocking and drags him back. He's not looking for redemption, just a good fight before he goes out. He's certainly not looking for James T. Kirk.

With the loss of his brother, Jim Kirk left the Jaeger program until and old acquaintance convinces him to return. He is reunited with some old friends and introduced to some new ones, one of which may be his new co-pilot. Their mission: to stop the Kaiju once and for all. *Star Trek characters in the Pacific RIm universe. Rated T for violence and death.

In the end, the tribble died. (Post-ST:ID. Angst, hurt!Jim, and trio friendship. COMPLETE)
