The Cantankerous Coffee Cup Collection!

When they had some leave on Earth Nyota got this from a farmers market for Bones. It's one of his favorites.

vigors

i was trying to prompt @karikes but she turned it back on me, so here, have some mchura spies

Leonard wakes up with a headache and a smudge of a very particular, very expensive shade of red lipstick on his cheek. With a sigh, he rolls onto his back.

His earpiece is still in tact- whatever else he might say about her, Agent Lark is a decent sort. (She could have let him land face first on the bathroom floor, but given his currently unbloodied face, he's going to guess she didn't.) Pressing a finger to the earpiece, he calls HQ

"So," Sulu hums, "you're finally awake."

Leonard winces. "I'm guessing Lark went global with the plans?"

"Yep." Sulu doesn't even bother trying to sound like he isn't laughing on the inside. He's been Leonard's partner for four years, and he's spent every one of them laughing.

Sighing to himself, Leonard does what he always does when Lark snatches a prize from him. He tells Sulu to order some girlie drinks, because they're going to get hammered.

xx

"You shouldn't drink so much."

Leonard blinks his eyes open. It takes him a moment to orient himself, but he gets there. He's lying on his back on the floor by his bed. Above him, her head poking over the side of the bed, is Lark.

"You're the one driving me to it," Leonard grumbles. He isn't surprised she's in his room. If she can rob a bank in Beijing without leaving a trace, she can hack into his cheap apartment.

She tilts her head. "You don't sound very angry about that."

"Maybe I like drinking."

"Maybe you know you're a terrible spy."

"Maybe it's both."

She considers that for a second before shaking her head. "No, you're not a bad spy. I heard about Laos."

Leonard winces. "Laos was a disaster."

"As a mission, yes. You were as subtle as a two by four. But you saved three men's lives." Lark has soft eyes, and they go softer still as she looks down at him. "That isn't nothing."

He grunts- she ought to tell that to his superiors.

She ignores him in favor of leaning down and kissing his forehead, no doubt leaving another expensive smudge of lipstick. It's like a calling card. Or a knowing wink.

Leonard sighs and doesn't try to stop her when she leaves.

xx

Lark grins at him before she tugs on the helmet. "Maybe next time!" she shouts happily as she straddles the motorcycle.

Leonard watches her leave helplessly. He rubs at his wrists where they're still raw from being tied up and thinks, Sulu is going to love this.

xx

His body hurts. Leonard was discharged from the hospital yesterday, but he can already tell he's going to be feeling this one for a while.

Someone knocks on the door. He sighs and shuffles from the bathroom where he'd been admiring the bruising and cuts to his door.

He doesn't check who it is before he opens it. He just got blown up. Dying doesn't sound too horrible.

The person on the other side isn't an enemy agent, though- at least not one who's interested in murdering him.

Lark is holding a bouquet.

Her eyes are narrowed, and she shoves the flowers at him as she sidles into his apartment.

"You beat me," she says after he closes the door. "The one time you beat me-" She crosses her arms. "Why did you have to be faster than me?"

He shrugs, then winces. "I was going to beat you one of these days."

She presses her lips together. "That isn't funny."

"It's a little funny," he says, carefully settling himself into a chair.

"You could have died."

"I could die on any mission. As could you."

"You got blown up."

"You didn't."

Lark puts her hands on her hips. "Stop being difficult. I'm trying to tell you something."

Leonard quirks an eyebrow and gestures for her to continue.

She does, after she starts to pace. "We have a certain... camaraderie, you and I."

"You steal from me, and I don't try to murder you, you mean."

"Not just that." She pauses. "I know how you think. I understand your process. And I think maybe you understand mine."

That's something Leonard has been thinking for a while now, but he doesn't say so, merely nods as she continues pacing a tight circle in his living room.

She doesn't elaborate, though. She just keeps pacing. It's starting to make him feel queasy.

"Lark-"

"Uhura."

He frowns. "Pardon?"

She stops pacing and puts her hands on her hips. "My name is Uhura. Nyota Uhura. You'll need to know it."

"Why's that?"

"Because," she says softly, lips quirking as she takes a step closer, "you'll be screaming it in about three weeks."

xx

Three weeks later

"Nyota!"

She looks up from the lock she's been picking. "What? Can't you see I'm busy?"

"They've got goddamn machine guns!" Leonard snaps, dragging the door shut behind him.

Her eyes go wide. "Oops."

McHura

[depressedkakashihatake]

Leonard loves to leave little gifts for Nyota at her work station. Sometime’s it’s simply thinks like a note that says “Good Morning, Gorgouse” and sometime’s it’s bigger things like chocolates or a flower he got on a planet they visited.

the best, in Nyota’s opinion, though, is when Leonard comes back from shoreleave and she arrives at her shift the next morning to find a teddybear sitting on her work station with a box of chocolates and a new journal for her to writer stories and thoughts in.

She had gone two weeks without anything on her work station while Leonard was gone, and this was the best way to find out he was back. She didn’t even need to ask Jim if she could go see him in Medical quickly, he just waved a hand and smiled knowing he’d see his best friend later.

When she got to Medical, Nyota found Leonard going through a report from Nurse Chapel on everything he missed while he was gone, and she could see a smile pulling at his lips when he noticed her presence.

Rather than interupting his concentration completly, Nyota walked up to his side and carefully wrapped her arms around his waist while he finished the report and finally turned around to hug her.

She definitly had the best boyfriend ever.

TFW you use Bones as a measure for color correcting old film.

(I’m trying so so much. The clip has a magenta green cast so it’s a miracle I got it to look like this, hahaha but I want to make Khan and Uhura look less white washed >_> Honestly the original film doesn’t do much justice either.)

EDIT: A shot for reference

[leonardcohenofficial]

Mchura?

who wakes up first in the morning? typically it’s nyota (she’s usually more prompt and tends to be up and at ‘em bright and early, while leonard is dead to the world until he’s replicated two cups of coffee)

who’s the first to fall asleep at night? leonard, who is constantly exhausted, falls asleep the moment he hits the bed

what do they playfully tease each other over? they don’t tend to tease each other much, unless the other is in a bad mood and they’re trying to cheer them up

what they do when the other’s having a bad day? when leonard’s having a bad day, he tends to shut people out and isn’t his normal mildly grumpy self, he’s just withdrawn and upset. nyota will sit or cuddle with him, talk through what’s bothering him, and exist in space with him as he needs it. when nyota’s having a bad day, she tends to need physical comfort. leonard will give her massages, brush her hair, and be as physically present as nyota needs as she talks about what’s upset her

how do they say ‘i’m sorry’ after arguments? weirdly, despite their mutual complaining about nearly everything, nyota and leonard are one of those couples that just never seems to fight. apologies, on the rare occasion that they’re needed, are immediate and genuine

which one’s more ticklish? leonard, and he hates it

what are their favourite rainy day activities? playing board games (especially scrabble), practicing speaking in other languages (nyota’s helping leonard learn graalen so he can chat with one of the new andorian nurses in his own language), cuddling, cooking

how do they surprise each other? leonard is extremely anxious about planning surprises, so he doesn’t tend to do big things; typically, he’ll pick up small gifts when the crew is planetside or schedule a reservation at a new restaurant- things that don’t cause him a lot of stress to do that he know’s nyota will still appreciate. nyota is the one who LOVES planning surprises, whether it’s small physical gifts, planning trips for when they have shore leave, or switching up things in their quarters; leonard honestly loves it all

what are their most sappy shows of public affection? holding hands and occasional stolen kisses is about the extent of it, given they’re both fairly private people

[spockfallsinlove]

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Nyota Uhura Characters: Leonard McCoy, Nyota Uhura Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Regency, Romance, Flirting, Sexual Tension, Nyota doesn't want a husband but her parents are after her, This is vaguely nsfw, a bunch of allusion to but no actual explicit scenes, just that heady sexual attraction between two hot as fuck characters, you know how it is Summary:

He won’t look away from her and she is about to get up and move just so she can shift the weight of his gaze. She shifts her body weight forward, but at that moment, he leans in.

“You should not play games with your prey, my lady. It’s impolite.”

And then he is gone and she is left to stare at the settee where he was a moment ago. She can smell a faint whiff of his cologne and remember the cut of his cheekbones; how brown his eyes were and the shape of his mouth as he spoke.

Or; scenes from a not-courtship.

Do you have any good spirk fic recommendations?

Sorry this is a little late, but oh gosh do I ever!! :D 

I’ve got a list of my Top 16 (Long) K/S Fics here (all on AO3), but my absolute favorites are for sure The Lotus Eaters, Leave No Soul Behind, You Don’t Have To (Say Yes), and THAT LOOKS ON TEMPESTS. (Please remember to read the tags and heed the warnings! These fics may not be for you!) They’re all really well-written with some of the greatest plots ever contrived by Man, haha! :) The K/S fandom is hella talented!!!

Of course, there’s also Sha Ka Ree, which is basically a Spirk classic, but which I’m ashamed to say I’ve only gotten about halfway through! :( I swear I’ll finish reading it someday! :’) But I think the author is also trying to rewrite it as a completely original work, which is awesome!

(Low-key plug, but I’ve also got a short fic here if you’re interested, haha. :) karikes also has some incredible Star Trek fics (cough mchura :D cough) if you ever tire of Spirk!)
