Jim squeezed his eyes shut, prayed for patience and took a deep breath, knowing he needed to give Bones a little professional scolding.

“Dr. McCoy,” he began, but didn’t get any further because the good doctor had just been effectively silenced by a good sound kiss from Chris, who’d been sitting next to him.

Jaws dropped, including Jim’s, and he heard gasps from Uhura and Carol.

Bones’s face flushed a dark red, but he wasn’t ranting anymore, so Jim decided to just roll with it.

“Thank you, Sir,” he said politely, nodding at his mentor.

“No problem, Jim,” Chris replied, looking as unflappable as ever, but with an unmistakable twinkle in his eye.

“Now, as I was saying…….” Jim managed to finish his meeting uneventfully, though he noticed Bones didn’t stick around afterward. He’d check on him later. Or Chris would.

“If you were trying to keep it a secret, well that plan’s shot to hell,” Leonard mumbled to Chris, headed to the lift afterward.

“They were going to figure it out eventually. But Jim looked ready to write you up, and I wouldn’t have blamed him. I figured that was the best distraction.”

Leonard sighed.

“I’ll apologize to Jim. I let the stress get to me. The truth is, we’re overwhelmed down there and the staff turnover has been unusually high lately. Even Chapel is looking burned out. Something’s gotta give, Chris. I don’t know what.”

Chris looked at him closely. Leonard’s green eyes looked bleak and stress filled and he mentally kicked himself for not seeing it sooner.

He stopped and put a hand on Len’s shoulder.

“I’ve got you, Len,” he said softly. “You know that, right?”

“Yeah,” the doctor answered, a faint smile appearing. “Sorry I didn’t say something sooner. I’m too stubborn for my own good sometimes.”

“But that’s not always a bad thing. I might not be walking and Jim would be six feet under if you weren’t so stubborn. So, we’ll set up a meeting with you and Geoff and Christine so you can tell Jim and I what needs to happen. Crew Burnout is real and we won’t take this lightly.”

Leonard heaved a sigh of relief. It felt good to have finally got it off his chest.

Partridge Fallen From the Pear Tree by severinne. Post-divorce Bones works as a prostitute to make ends meet. Pike comes to town to recruit him, ends up paying for a night without knowing Bones is Bones, and then they both freak the fuck out when Pike realizes who he is. More-or-less just smut and angst. Pre-canon. Three chapters, 12k, E. Complete.

You Still Got Wheels, Kid by withthepilot. Yes, this is partially on here because it’s one of the few (good) fem!Pike fics.

Moments along the path by InsaneSociopath. Jim, through no fault of his own, is assigned to Pike as an aide bc Command thinks he’s a loose cannon. Pike is delighted /s. (he warms up eventually.) Some Tarsus PTSD; also a fair amount of fluff. Academy Era slow burn that goes right through to (immediately) post-Narada. 46k oneshot, M. Second chapter is artwork. Long but 100% worth it.

The Ocean Between Us by severinne. They get a drink in a bar. They’re both dead. Something of a get-together fic. Can and Will sucker punch you with feels. STID compliant. 1k oneshot, T.

Mutual Profusion of Good Feeling (aka Wherein the Aliens have a Flair for Mood Lighting) by kayliemalinza. This doesn’t really count as Pirk, but it’s not platonic enough for the gen category. Away mission, the premise is ‘aliens made them do it’ but there’s no sex or fade to black. Romantic, I guess? I really don’t know, but the prose is gorgeous. Also a Pike Lives/returns to the Enterprise AU. 5k oneshot, T.

Piler | Chris Pike/Ash Tyler

the chair and the badge by ninjamcgarrett. The boys are soft and in love. Lots of smut, but a fair amount of plot. Their respective traumas are addressed too, so there’s plenty of h/c. Honestly? My favorite from this pairing. Series, 59k in five parts, M-E. Ongoing. 

Reality by aishahiwatari. Initially a take on how these two idiots settled their differences, and evolution from there. Part two is post-season two of Disco. Series, 5k in two parts, E. Complete.

Chris Pike/Una | Number One 

it will take place without witnesses by love_in_the_time_of_kohlinahr. Post Disco, Pike is struggling with the knowledge of his future, so he and Una play chess until stupid o’clock in the morning (as one does), and then he lowkey has a panic attack. Una POV. Also features sleepy sex, but it isn’t plot-important and can be skipped over, if you wish. 2k oneshot, E. 

Overtime by Astronoddingoff. Una has Thoughts about Chris working doubles for the better part of a week. Also men get pegged. Definite sub!Chris. 7k oneshot, E.

All for One by knightinmourning. D/s universe, where Pike had/has to hide the fact that he’s a sub to make (and stay) captain. Mostly reccing for part two, which has a fair amount of hurt/comfort (and also hints at threatened sexual assault and definite torture; be forewarned). Technically also Chris/Phil and Chris/Spock, but there’s no pairing sex, and part two is entirely Una’s POV. Series, 4.2k in two parts, M-E. Probably incomplete. 

A Gentle Touch by jedi_harkness. Chris and Una shower together. Body worship, no sex. So Much Fluff (and also happy tears). It’s super sweet. 1.7k oneshot, T.

Phil Boyce/Chris Pike

Decompression by Astronoddingoff. Chris is elated by a recent treaty success and the time spent dirtside. Phil does his best to make him even happier. Lowkey sub Pike. Implied poly!Chris (i.e. Pike/One). 3.5k oneshot, E. 

Most Pike/Boyce fics fall under the AOS tags

Una/Phil/Chris

Triangulate by Astronoddingoff. Sex pollen, but they’re already-kind-of-mostly in an established relationship. Recent miscommunications lead to angst. They all love each other and they’re all idiots. Lowkey sub Pike. Two chapters, 20k, E. 

Holy by Astronoddingoff. Self-actualizing featuring religious guilt/conflict, i.e. Pike is a sub and religion is weird about enjoying yourself. 2.7k oneshot, E.
