Author: mijan
Artist: vengefuldemon69
Fanmixer: ryuutchi
Betas: vixys , gone_ashore , and mga1999
Test Reader: shinychimera
Series: ST: XI
Character/Pairing(s): Kirk & McCoy, Pike, Scotty
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 140,000
Warnings: I beat the fucking shit out of Jim Kirk, and give you all the goddamned details. I also cuss a little bit.
Disclaimer: Gene Roddenberry is God, Paramount Pictures is Pope, and this is the blasphemy of a wayward faithful. My geeky spirit is rich, but my purse is empty.

Author’s Notes: This story is part of the Academy-era story arc, which includes ”Convergence” and “And All the King’s Men.” “Crossfire” is a direct sequel. Several things in this story will not make sense unless you’ve read AAtKM first.  If you haven't read the other stories, before you start digging into this monster of a fic, only to find yourself asking, "What the fuck is he talking about?" please read at least AAtKM.  Better if you read both.

Please also note that with AAtKM, "Crossfire" is the second in a three-part Academy story arc.  AAtKM was the first part of the Academy trilogy.  The final part of the trilogy will be posted sometime next year.

This was written for the startrekbigbang  challenge.  Therefore, I was teamed up with a fanartist and fanmixer who created art and a soundtrack, respectively, for this story.  Please check out their work at the links below!

Summary: Jim Kirk and Leonard McCoy are on top of the world at the academy until it all comes crashing down around them. Trapped in their own mystery of politics, sabotage, and possible murder, it quickly becomes impossible to know who to trust. Worse, Jim might still be a target. With a dangerous criminal on the loose and Academy leadership not doing enough, Jim and Bones have to get their lives back together and find out what happened... before it happens again.

Hi,

I know this is a long shot but do you by any chance have a single file version in HTML or Word doc?

I loved your other story All the King's Men and I'd love to read this one too. :)

Because of the sheer length of it, it's broken into three Word documents. (One document got WAY too unwieldy, and I couldn't keep track of it all.) I'm going to be uploading it to AO3 in a couple of days, but I can't handle it right now. Do you need a file so you can read it, print it, etc?

I can wait until it's uploaded to A03. :)

I was going to read it on my e-ink device. Internet at work has just about everything remotely considered fun blocked so the easiest way to read fic at work is load it to my device and read during lunch and whenever else I have free time. I just can't read it on my computer.

If you promise to come back here and let me know what you think of it, I can e-mail you the three Word documents. Would that be good?

My e-mail address is faisons (at) gmail (dot) com.

Well considering I do leave feedback for almost all the stories I read I don't think it's much of a hardship to let you know how much I enjoyed the story after I finish reading it. :)

I'll email you in a bit.
