Never Let Your Vulcan Out Of Your Sight

Hurt/Comfort

by PoorLeno89

Spock could sense the Captain's worry radiating from somewhere to his left and several decks above him, as well as the doctor’s, only a room away, which was excessively potent from the closer proximity (and due to McCoy's natural caring tendencies).

Why Hurt/Comfort McKirk Fanfiction Works So Well

Leonard McCoy/James T. Kirk — Bones met Jim Kirk on a shuttle while threatening to throw up on him, and the Kelvin timeline turned their friendship into the heart of the reboot. The grumpy doctor patching up his reckless captain is a dynamic fandom found impossible to leave platonic.

Hurt/Comfort — One character is hurt (physically or emotionally) and another provides comfort and care.

A man whose whole job is keeping Jim Kirk alive, complaining lovingly the entire time — sunshine-grump in space. The vulnerability, the tenderness, seeing characters take care of each other in their worst moments. That's why hurt/comfort McKirk fanfiction is one of the most consistently popular combinations on AO3.
