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.

Well, I had many good years of running. This auto-immune connective tissue disease has kinda come out of nowhere. Don't feel bad - we all have to play the cards we've been dealt. If surgery is what it will take to fix it, instead of letting it get worse until I need a knee replacement, then I'll do it. My knee doesn't bend right, it's stiff, it creaks and grinds, and sometimes it gives out. If surgery fixes it, then I can deal with the recovery period if that's what it would take.

I've seen some amazing things. I took a three-week solo road trip across the country, stopping everywhere, talking to people, seeing everything, experiencing everything. Just packed a bag, got in my car, and took off. I believe that everyone should do that. I've got a good life, but the key is that you make your own luck in life. ;)

I'd love to go camping with you out in the desert. Tell me when. It's fall/winter now. When are you coming back? Thinking next year?

With medical bills, I don't know if I can justify the expensive of a trip to Japan. I'd love to, but it might have to wait.

I like tumbling and stuff with gymnastics, but I liked competition and activity of any sort. I competed in bench press for a while. I set my state record in my weight class at one point. I'm 5'1, weighed 137 lbs. at the time of the competition, and at my best, I could press 215. And I was still training as a runner at the time, so not *just* weight lifting. And no, no steroids. No supplements. All natural. :D

And yes, inflammation. I'm on treatment for it, don't worry. It just takes time. A lot of ibuprofen, some aspirin, but also plaquenil to treat the auto-immune stuff systemically, plus other stuff for the low blood pressure. What's sad is that a year ago, I was perfectly healthy with no problems other than migraines.

We're really turning this into quite the ongoing chat, aren't we? Do you have g-mail, by any chance?

I'm faisons (at) gmail (dot) com, and I chat on there. :D

I don't know if chat will work while I'm at work (firewall, blocks AIM and Skype) but my work-accessible email is moogle0002 at aol.com. My regular one is anruiukimi at rocproductions.org, but it's blocked at work. XD; It's the one I signed up to Google with, though, so it might work. :)

I'll be moving back to the states in late July/early Aug of 2011, where my goal is to get a decent job asap, be a freeloader long enough to pay off at least one of the credit cards (I luff my parents,) and get my Japan pension refund. :P

As for the weightlifting, wowzers. :D That's amazing.

...and yes, email sounds good. XD
