Two Kirk/McCoy fics - Away missions gone wrong for McCoy

[f-vikus.livejournal.com]

Hello!

Does anyone remember these specific away mission fics?  I'm looking for one where Jim has telepathic aliens inhabiting his mind, and they force him to fight and beat McCoy up, and McCoy refuses to let go of Jim even though he's getting injured quite badly.  And the entire time, different entities are making Jim say things to McCoy as he's fighting him.

The second one is where McCoy saves an ambassador's life even though he was ordered not to, and was punished for it i front of the aliens, and McCoy collapses the moment they're beamed back.  It's revealed afterwards that Kirk was the one who was forced to punish him, and Kirk feels guilty for not knowing the extent of McCoy's injuries and for having to choose between the mission and McCoy.

Thanks in advance!

The first one is actually two fics, I believe. Hold On (http://thistlerose.livejournal.com/1097147.html?style=mine), which is from Bones's POV, and Let Go (http://thistlerose.livejournal.com/1140864.html#cutid1), which is from Jim's. Both are by thistlerose and are fantastic!

There is another story by thistlerose that sounds similar to the second one you mentioned. I'm not sure if it is the one you wanted: A Show of Strength (http://thistlerose.livejournal.com/1281389.html#cutid1). Bones doesn't try to save an ambassador's life, but instead, asks a question during a treaty signing and is whipped because of it.

I hope that helps.
