Leonard McCoy Valentine's Event: Day One

Valentine's Day

Leonard's barely stepped into his quarters when his eyes are assaulted by gaudy visions of pink and red, his walls are covered in paper-hearts, streamers and terrifying plants that can only be the work of the botany lab. For brief moment he worries that he's been transported into an alternate universe, where everything is bright red instead of sleek grey but then Spock is strolling out of his small kitchen, holding a cake that looks more like a crime scene than a declaration of love.

“I was told this was the traditional manner in which to celebrate.”

Leonard just grins.

Saw this screenshot of Murnau's Nosferatu and by law I had to make it Spones!

The next drawings will be rated E. I can't be bothered to crop everything to maybe be able to post here, so my NSFW artworks are on AO3, Bsky and Pillowfort.

Thanks @leonardmccoyevents for hosting Leonard Mccoy Valentine's 2025

For the "did you just kiss me?" prompt in the 2025 McCoy Valentines special <3 @leonardmccoyevents Spock and McCoy are Going To Die™ today, and on his way out Spock decides to get a sneaky little finger kiss in. But McCoy notices. And then they don't die. So how's McCoy going with that? (pretty pleased, and a little ungenerous)

This hopeless effort was worth exhausting himself over

“Don’t take him,” McCoy gasped. He threw himself at the Zarthusian man, pulling at his arm. He was breathless, awfully winded from being thrown against the wall, but this hopeless effort was worth exhausting himself over. 

The Zarthusian was, of course, much stronger than McCoy. Hell, he was stronger than Spock, McCoy didn’t stand a chance. 

“Doctor,” Spock hissed. “Cease, they will simply send more.”

“If you don’t fight them, Spock, I won’t forgive your dead ass for a millen- ” McCoy’s vision went white as his head exploded in pain. He’d been thrown back, back and head hitting the ground hard. He groaned and put a hand on his head, threading his fingers through his hair. No blood. He’d have a hell of a headache from it all, no doubt. And one of those time consuming neurological scans. Concussion was more than likely.

Spock was on his knees in front of McCoy, lifting him to sit up delicately. Behind him, blurry and streaked with light, the Zarthusian slunk out of the cell, two of his hands cradling the third.

“Sure,” McCoy said, hearing the slight slur in his voice, “you’ll fight when they have a go at someone else. Tell me how that’s logical.”

Spock’s hand wrapped around his jaw, holding his face gently. His thumb ran across McCoy’s cheek. Must be grazed, for Spock to touch him like that. The throbbing in the back of his head drowned out any other pain he might feel. 

“To look at it logically,” Spock said softly, “they outnumber us. And they will kill us. There is no purpose in taking a beating as well.” The words rolled out slowly, he wasn’t in a rush. McCoy had time to hear him, and for his meaning to settle in his confused mind. 

McCoy started to shake his head, then stopped when it hurt too much. He shifted, leaning into the support of Spock’s hand, and rest his hands on Spock’s knees in front of him. “Oh, fuck, my head hurts,” he sighed. “Um.” 

Spock put his spare hand over McCoy’s, fingers resting against each other, holding him warmly. McCoy smiled to himself and closed his eyes. Trust Spock to be lovely and human when he was dying, he always got like this. It had been special and shocking when it was new, but they’d nearly died so many time now it was special and amusing. 

This one felt fairly final, mind. 

Spock took his hand, lifting it off his knee. McCoy let him and spoke. 

“They know we’re missing, so you’d better believe they’re looking for us. Every second you delay is another second they have to beam us out. How’s it logical to cooperate?”

He heard Spock breathe and opened his eyes. It was bright in the dim room. There was movement behind Spock, shapes in the distance beyond the bars, but McCoy didn’t focus on them. Spock was leaning close, and smiling just slightly. 

“A perfect argument, Doctor,” Spock praised. It wasn’t; they were on a busy planet and underground, a beam out was nigh impossible. But it was nice of Spock to say. Spock shifted his hold on McCoy’s hand, so they were palm to palm. “If you insist upon it, I will fight. 

“Good, good.” 

The cell door clanged.

Spock dragged his hand away from McCoy’s, fingers shifting against his palm. McCoy looked down and stared, the sight confusing to him until his vision cleared. 

And there they were, pointer and middle fingers pressed against each other. 

“Did you just kiss me?” McCoy asked. 

Strange fingers wrapped around Spock’s wrist, pulling him away. More hands appeared, tearing Spock away and out of McCoy’s reach. 

McCoy lurched to his feet, but by the time he made it to the bars the door was closed and Spock was being manhandled into shackles. 

Spock kept his eyes on McCoy, even and serious. McCoy leaned his head on the bars and begged him to, “Fight.”

Spock tilted his head to the side, his exasperation clear. He was still for one more moment, then he burst into action. He shouldered one guard, then kicked at another and pushed his elbow into a third to knock him over. The two standing picked Spock up. Spock writhed and kicked at them as the third joined and carried him out. 

McCoy stared at the empty corridor. He heard Spock shout, and a further scuffle, but it went quiet again. 

He took a hold of a bar and slid to his knees. 

His head hurt, and now he was alone in this cold cell. Tears pricked in his eyes and he let them fall. He tried to think of a song to go out on, but none came to mind. 

His skin tingled, his body lurched. He lost his hold on the bar and fell forwards. Hands were on him. 

He opened his eyes and flinched from the cold, bright glare. Beeping filled his head, echoing and awful. 

He was on the transporter, being pulled off. He went, obeying the tug on his arms as compliantly as he could. He couldn’t feel the relief of it yet, all he could see was Spock’s exasperated expression. All he could feel were Spock’s fingers pressed against his in a cruel farewell. 

“Spock?” he asked. 

“Not yet.”

He wasn’t sure who had spoken, but he turned and faced the transporter pad. And waited. Someone started moving his head, waving a med scanner at him. He couldn’t parse it, the room swam and melted at the edges of his vision. His head hurt so terribly.

A few long moments passed, then the transporter came back to life. Spock’s very still body formed on the ground. 

McCoy swayed and stared. “Is he- ?” Hell, he was a doctor. He didn’t need to ask. He stepped forward, but Spock disappeared. McCoy blinked and looked again. No, gone. Had McCoy imagined him?

He turned and found Chapel next to him, looking blurry. “What’s- ? Spock…”

“Alive,” Chapel said. “We’ve taken him for surgery, he doesn’t look…”

Her voice went first, drowned out by the dull throb of his pulse. Then his vision went, then his sense of gravity. 

Here's a link again in case you clicked the readmore and wanna see the next two chapters now <3

Excited to see what everyone has created.

[leonardmccoyevents]

Valentine's is only seven days away, which means the Leonard McCoy Valentine's Event is fast approaching!

If you have no idea what that is or need a reminder on what the prompts are, please check them out here

Can't wait to see what people create!

[leonardmccoyevents]

Do you allow late posts for the Valentine's Day event? For example if a fic I'm working on isn't done by tomorrow night could I still post it to the Ao3 collection at some point?

Hi,

Yes, we do allow for late posts for the Valentine's Event.

A masterpost of all fanworks created for the event will be posted a week after the event ends, so if you wish to be included in that, make sure to post on Tumblr or the Ao3 collection before the 24th of February.

As for the Ao3 collection, it will remain open after the event ends, so if at any time in the future you or anyone else is inspired by the prompts they can add their work to it, and it will be reblogged to this blog, it may just take a little longer to do so.

As always make sure to tag this blog or use the tag #leonardmccoyvalentines2025

Thanks for the question.
