An AU of The City On The Edge Forever where everything is the same, except at the end, Kirk isn't able to grab McCoy in time. Thus, he saves Edith, but he gets hit by the car instead. He survives, but he is seriously hurt and has to be taken to an early 20th century hospital... AKA, his worst nightmare

So you have McCoy dealing with the horrors of 1930's medical care and his own recovery, while trying to grapple with finding out about why Edith had to die. Kirk has to figure out how to now keep the bad future from happening, as well as dealing with immense guilt that McCoy got hurt because of him. Spock has to deal with both humans emotional problems, a task that he finds... well, more overwhelming than he'd like to admit.

#star trek #star trek tos #the city on the edge of forever #me and my brain...#idk i always thought about what happened if mccoy had saved edith #its what causes the timeline issues but since theyre already in the past they can always figure somethign else out #plus mccoy having to be treated by 30s medicine is both the scariest and funniest thought ever #if he hated the 80's well...#and of course triumvirate/mckirk angst cause kirk let mccoy get hurt cause he hesitated #and spock has no idea how to help either of them #and poor edith is just very confused #im evil i know
