for my fic ‘just for the summer’! i went to camp for 10 years so a lot of this is just personal experience lol, but i’m loving this au especially with summer right around the corner!

camp counselor!jj who's always barefoot, constantly. did he even bring shoes to camp? tells all the younger kids his favorite snack is wood and always nods when they ask if he's serious. all his staff shirts have a rip or are stained with tie dye.

camp counselor!jj "don't tell my boss" is his catch phrase everytime he bends a rule, which is...often. ends up giving the "don’t worry, middle school gets better" speech like three times a week, always ends with a fist bump and a pack of skittles. calls the camp golf cart 'the beast' and drives it like it's a getaway car.

camp counselor!jj the campers love him. has about thirty friendship bracelets on his wrists made from campers (and one very special one made by you) and still keeps the keychain the younger girls made him on his backpack. he's all over the place, but he listens, remembers weird facts, hypes up the shy kids. the parents are nervous about him at first, but by the end of the week they’re like “thank you, jj. now our son wants to be a pirate.”

camp counselor!jj he’s the kind of counselor the kids remember when they’re grown, the kind they write letters to after, the kind that made camp feel like home. and he has no idea how much of a difference he makes.

camp counselor!jj he's the athletics specialist, you're a village head. he'll radio you and ask you to change to a channel no one else is on just to tell you some pointless story or flirt with you. he walks by during lunch and smacks your clipboard out of your hand just so you’ll go after him.

camp counselor!jj who's entire cabin of twelve year old boys picks fun at him for liking you. every ten year old girl in your village is obsessed with getting you two together. they write your names in hearts in sidewalk chalk like it’s their mission from God. when you both show up to dinner in matching tie-dye (unplanned, but they don’t believe that), they absolutely LOSE it.

camp counselor!jj who thinks sneaking around is the best and funniest thing in the world. you absolutely weaponize your relationship during dodgeball and tell him you'll never speak to him again if he gets you out. you hook pinkies under the table at staff meetings and he rubs his thumb over your knuckle while everyone argues about who gets their off day on mondays.

camp counselor!jj he fake proposes with a ring pop in the middle of lunch while 'love story' by taylor swift plays and your campers don't stop talking about it for three days. he’ll carry your clipboard and his. tells you “you’re killin’ it, sunshine. i know it doesn’t feel like it, but you are.” and will literally juggle twenty kids if it means giving you a second to breathe.

Anon requested: “Chekov and Sulu pull this prank where they sign McCoy up for anger management classes and this attractive female counselor/female!reader calls him up and McCoy gets mad when he finds out that it was Chekov and Sulu who signed him up for the classes, but he can’t help, but feel attracted to the female counselor/female!reader. Thank you!”

To be fair, y/n had no idea it was a prank. So McCoy really had no reason to be angry with her. But Chekov and Sulu? He could be mad at them all he wanted.

It started with a simple call for him to the lead counselor’s office. The Enterprise had three onboard in case any of the crew needed to speak about their concerns. McCoy figured that y/n wanted to speak about a crew member’s health or needed his opinion.

Never in all his years would he have suspected her to ask about how he handled his anger.

<—>

“I’m sorry?” Y/n sighed and pushed her reading glasses back into place. Sometimes she wished that the people who came to her for help would actually remember it instead of needing to be reminded.

“You do remember signing up for anger management sessions, correct Doctor McCoy?” Bones began stuttering and trying to make sense of the situation. When the hell did he sign up for any sessions with y/n?

“I don’t-I didn’t—”

“It’s nothing to be ashamed about Leonard. Nothing that is said in this room leaves unless you want it to.” Bones finally gathered himself and tried to explain.

“That’s not what I meant. I didn’t sign up for any at all.” Raising her eyebrow, y/n pulled up the list of her appointments. After a few minutes she frowned and looked back up at Bones.

“...I fail to see how that’s possible. The record of your sign up says you submitted your application through your computer station two days ago.”

“Two days—dammit.” Chekov and Sulu. The two had asked to borrow his computer for a moment and had been grinning afterwards. That was the only possible way.

“Leonard?” Bones shook his head and smiled apologetically at the therapist.

“I’m sorry, this seems to have been a prank by two of our coworkers. I didn’t mean to waste your time.”

“It’s alright. Actually if you’re not busy, maybe we could sit and talk? Just as friends, not as doctor and patient. I don’t have any other appointments today.” The offer surprised the doctor, but at the same time held an appeal to him. It wasn’t like anybody was dying at the moment. What could it hurt?

“That sounds...nice.”

<Bonus>

“Are you sure this is going to work?”

“If we play it off like we don’t know anything it will.”

“Wait, There they are. Are they...laughing? Why is the doctor walking over here?!?!”

“Lads, I want to thank you for helping me get a date for later. And if you ever try something like that again, you’ll be ordered to get the most uncomfortable physical exam of your lives.”

“He is very scary when he wants to be.”

“Thank you for the observation, Chekov.”

I'm glad you liked it! I'll have to go digging through the other asks to see if I can find it. I think I remember seeing it though and it got buried.

The Guidance Counselor Reader is absolutely perfect for Bump. I'm so glad you suggested it X3
