Reaper Bones/Jim Kirk

[judybrowneyes54.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a fic where Reaper Bones' real identity is out in the open and he is serving in SF on the Enterprise. Jim and all the Enterprise crew know who he really is. The ship and Reaper Are ordered to go on a mission to Olduvai because there is something really bad going on there again.
That's about all I remember. Hope someone remembers the fic.
Thanks in advance.

I think this is the one you're looking for

In Three Words (http://archiveofourown.org/works/639651): Pike used George Kirk’s legacy to dare his son into Starfleet. It was John Grimm who taught Jim about living outside of his father’s shadow.

Thank you!

Reaper!Bones is my favorite thing ever, so I've got most of the fics in my bookmarks.

A mixed bag of gen and McKirk. There were a few others that I can't seem to find anymore, so maybe they were deleted from Ao3 at some point. :-/

In Unequal Measure (http://archiveofourown.org/works/817781) - After the dust settles Dr. McCoy has a conversation with John Harrison at Starfleet Command.

This one is one of my favorites.

All Secrets are Deep (http://archiveofourown.org/works/273244) - Bones has a long, dark, secret history that far pre-dates Starfleet, but it isn’t until he finally joins Starfleet and subsequently meets Jim, Spock and the rest of the main enterprise crew that his secrets come to light; with or without his consent. There really is no end to the numerous ways Bones' (aka John Grimm, aka Reaper) past could be introduced to his best friend and crew. The question is whether or not he'll be able to remain with the closest thing to a family he's had in a lifetime, or if he'll be forced to leave his life with them behind.

The 2nd and 3rd chapters have nothing to do with the 1rst or each other. It really probably should have been posted as 3 separate fics. Still, each is good to decent in its own way and all are worth the read, imo.

War Wounds (http://archiveofourown.org/works/812963) - They may not have turned into flesh-eating monsters. They may have looked deceptively human, but he knew the signs.

This Abyss (http://archiveofourown.org/works/77474) - It took centuries for John Grimm to be ready to be loved by James T. Kirk.

For self-recs, all of my AOS fics feature Reaper!Bones

Devour the Soul, Reaper of Men (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1027024) - A distress call sends the crew of the USS Enterprise to a dark research station where Bones’ past will come to haunt them all. Olduvai may be gone, but its secrets got out first.

The Dichotomy of a Doctor (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1115116) - Khan watches Doctor McCoy try to save Jim after the radiation poisoning and ponders the mystery that is Dr. Leonard Horatio McCoy.

Persuasive (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1539575") - It isn't that John Grimm ever wanted a best friend. It's just really hard to say no to Jim Kirk.

Can't wait to get started on these. Thank you so much! I'm so impressed you've written Reaper stories. I'm looking forward to reading them.

Merry Chritmas and Happy New Year and thanks again.
