Doctor's Orders
by Nightingale_the_first
While McCoy worked, he kept one hand at the nape of Kirk's neck, carefully turning his head this way and that, making sure to pass the dermal regenerator over every bruise and scrape.

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.
