I'm aware I am coming pretty late to this, but this was an amazing read! I enjoyed every bit of it! I love the relationship between Bones and Jim, so cute!

awesome thanks

So awesome-loved it!

I really enjoyed this fanfiction. I'm so late to the party and I can't believe I'm only reading it now, but I'm glad I did! The dialogues (especially for Bones) were so spot on! I loved everything (the Kir.k scale for pain was hilarious!).
I also really enjoyed the way you described the effects of Jim's fever, with his train of thoughts going to weird places (Spock being so happy to be in the chair, Jim thinking of pirates...). Your writing, really, was amazing!

Oh love a story about a sick Jim!

I really loved this. Your dialogue was spot on and I love the Jim/Bones interactions. I’m only sad that you didn’t write the speech (though I guess it’s hard to write awesome diplomatic speeches) or Spock chastising the admiralty. That scene would have been amazing!

My only criticism isn’t related to the writing style, but your explanation of how Jim caught veganchoriomenigitis. Maybe I’m being pedantic as I’m an immunologist and specialist in infectious viral diseases, but in general humans can’t catch diseases from plants. Fungi, bacteria and viruses that infect plants usually don’t do more than possibly cause food poisoning (there are exceptions, but it’s rare. Very rare). Plants are just too different from humans so the microbes than infect them can’t make the jump.

And also, maybe you didn’t know the canon, but veganchoriomenigitis is supposed to be named after ‘Vega’ the star system I think. It is extremely fast acting and causes death within 24 hours as with real meningitis, especially after neck pain, light sensitivity and fever manifest. The Star Trek version also manifests as pain in the extremities and blurred vision (due to inflamed choroids). Basically, Jim would have died on day 2 without medical treatment.

None of this really matters as this was just a fanfic, about people in space, so who cares? Your story is still awesome, but I thought you’d like to know just in case you ever write something similar or decide to revisit this.

Loved it! That was an awesome fic! Great job!

Your McCoy dialogue was a delight to read. I particularly enjoyed his Captain Kirk Pain Scale with 1 being bullshit and 10 being I need a slight pain reliever, Bones. Also his thoughts were equally hilarious about the negotiations, ponies and Orion slave girls. So very, very Bones, The choice of disease and the ending were perfect. I give it a ten plus on my personal McCoy favorite stories.

I truly enjoyed this. It was a very good read!

great fic man!

That was an awesome story! Gotta love mother-hen Bones! :) Great job!

LOL the ending was cute. Great fic, overall. :)

Is there ANYTHING Bones can't fix? I wonder if the Attrosities will declare them married or something?

Woah. That was unexpected

It sounds like a horrible, terrible day. Great chapter. Love the details.
