Summary
For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky, where Starfleet sends a CMO replacement long before they ever reach Yonada. And McCoy? McCoy goes back home. Where else is he going to go?
[this is really a character study with the focus on Leonard and the David-Leonard and Leonard-Joanna relationships, but while the Kirk & Spock of it is more in the background, it's definitely still important]
He's tired of asking people for things that they can't give him. Tired of not asking people for the things they want to give him.
Tired. Just tired. Been tired all his life, hasn't he. Steeped in it.
Looks at Joanna's blue eyes, and sees the same exhaustion in her. Sees his own eyes, doesn't he. Sees his own eyes, looking at his father. Begging him.
