Summary: Doctor Leonard McCoy and Captain Christopher Pike both have their share of struggles. Their first meeting should have gone very differently than it did. McCoy was looking for one thing but ended up finding something completely unexpected. At their second meeting, Doctor McCoy saves Captain Pike's life, although Pike is unconscious at the time. By the time they meet on the Enterprise, they can't ignore the undeniable connection between them. Could it be a soul bond? As far as either of them knew, soul bonds weren't supposed to happen the way this one did.
After a while, they began to wonder if there was a larger conspiracy that was trying to keep them apart.
