Modern/non-starfleet AU, kirk/mccoy

[fortywinks.livejournal.com]

I've tried everything I can think of: searched ao3, old rec lists, google, etc. This is my last ditch effort!

Okay, so it's a novel-length Kirk/McCoy fic set in modern times. Bones is still a doctor and still meets Jim on a flight to San Francisco. He's just divorced, deliciously bitter, arguing with ex over visitation rights with Jo. Jim is a pilot, I think? It's slow-building, with Jim crashing with Bones whenever he visits the city, building to a sort of quasi-roommate situation with cute post-it note shenanigans and whatnot. Bones is fairly reluctant/head-in-the-sand about any romance. At some point the two of them go back to GA... This all sounds like a million other Jim/Bones fics, doesn't it? Argh, it was posted as a wip on an LJ (pretty sure), does this ring any bells with anyone??

Hmm. Big Sky Theory (http://archiveofourown.org/works/268873) by sullacat?

Edit: On second thought, I'm really not sure if this is the one you want. McCoy's not a doctor, he's a gate agent. But Jim is a pilot, they do go to Georgia at one point, there's various reluctancy issues from both sides, and there are text message screen shots...
