“You’re really going to go through with this?”
Jim Kirk glanced at his friend, Leonard McCoy.
“What choice do I have, Bones?”
“I don’t know. There has to be another way, Jim. Sacrificing—”
“There isn’t. It’s the choice I have to make. I signed up for this.”
Bones put his hand on Jim’s arm to stop him. “So did they. When they joined Starfleet. Everyone knows what could happen. What they sign up for too.”
“I’m still responsible.”
“And the rest of us? We’re just supposed to stand here like dummies?”
Jim blew out a breath. “Yes. Bye, Bones.”

Oh my heart! The emotions that are packed into this! You can’t seriously just leave this here like this! And on a Monday on top of everything! Someone needs to help Jim! Don’t know who, how or what kind of help?
On a serious note, other than my emotional reaction to your fic… are you considering revisiting any of these teasers to flesh out into a longer fiction? Hint hint!
❤️💚🖖😘
