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...

Not the story, but it sounds like an interesting read -- so thanks for that!
