Summary: It starts with a broken wrist. General spoilers for Star Trek: The Original Series; Episode Spoilers for 1.05 - The Man Trap, 1.09 - What Are Little Girls Made Of?, and 2.08 - The Changeling.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. The song “Miss Otis Regrets” belongs to the genius of Cole Porter.
Author’s Notes: This was rather more difficult for me to write than it should have been, but the experimenting was generally good fun in the end - I’d never written femslash before. It’s kind of episodic and mostly really vague, and the characterizations ended up somewhere between TOS and Reboot (except in the case of the brief mention of Kirk, who is entirely Reboot) - plus, there was a lot of medical jargon that I dropped along the way, because it seemed to take away from the tone, so the techno-babble, as well as the accuracy, is now admittedly lacking - but I hope it’s enjoyable nonetheless, fluffy, pining romp that it is; just don’t try to take it too seriously ;)
