I now have tears running down my cheeks from the end of this great little story. It’s got an original plot, nothing like anything I’ve seen before and it hits you right in the feels. Love it.
Author’s Summary
What started out as leverage turns into an unexpected bond. Gen. Protective!Khan. Sorta Deaged!Kirk.
Inspired by this prompt by laidbacktionist at the star trek kink meme: I don’t care in what context/event but I’d love to see a fic in which Khan protects Kirk. Either bodily or emotionally or anything really. Either Khan did it all the time or if this is the first time he did it for Jim. It’s all up to the filler!
Warning: Minor spoilers for Star Trek Into Darkness.
Premise: Carol and Scotty are beamed back to the Enterprise but Khan keeps Kirk on the Vengeance until he can confirm his crew is intact. He is furious when he discovers the torpedoes are empty. A struggle ensues and Kirk manages to sabotage the ship, sending them both to the surface in a controlled but fiery crash.
