Bleeding Bones, a case for Kirk/McCoy (read description)

Title: Bleeding Bones
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Music: Bleeding Love Leona Lewis.

Summary: I started making this shortly after reading a poem a good friend of mine Kayla Harris wrote. The whole time I was reading it I was like " wow it's like Bones sat down and wrote it himself" Pieces of the poem are used in the video with her permission so please don't take them.

It is no secret that I am in love with the idea of Kirk/McCoy and I hope this video explains a little bit why I think they are a possibility.

Kirk's character in this verse is interesting and dare I say more human to me then he was in the other reality. I didn't hate TOS Kirk and he wasn't a complete Marry Sue but I got a little annoyed with the "I'll save the world by dinner with my shirt off" routine. The thing that made him lovable for me were his glaring flaws, how someone as selfless as he was could be so selfish at the core, the inability to really love a woman no matter how much he professed to do so (unless of course he lost his memories and all sense of self, then he was free to really love, as Spock would say, fascinating) and of course his utterly unshakable love for Spock that never quite went where we all wanted it too. :D

This Kirk is painfully real. So real and so much like a few arrogant assholes I know that I didn't even like him at first. But like a real person he was written with layers, he's brilliant but needy, he feels deeply and not enough for himself (the man is shameless) and he's utterly anchorless until he meets Leonard McCoy (who is another deeply layerd and deeply scared individual spinning around without an anchor). They latch onto each other almost out of necessity, and though they are glaringly different and ill suited partners. Like survivors from some great natural disaster (or maybe the disasters of their lives up to that point) they forge together to form something new when they might not have elsewise. I think that's brilliant insight on behalf of the writers. Not just to come up with some half assed excuse to reboot the franchise and then not really consider how it changes the characters.

I like the fact that Jim Kirk is imperfect (a man child as a few fanfiction writers have so brilliantly put it) and that he's finding his way into becoming something more something better. I like that meeting Jim has forced McCoy to do the same. That's love, call it friendship or romantic, whatever, it's there and I like it. And I hope this video explains why loving Jim is so necessary for Bones.

wonderful video

o:

which other clips did you use in the video other than star trek?

I don't think I've seen Karl Urban freaking out before in a movie like that

[Desertrosexx]

I used some clips from Fly away home, and The truth about demons. The audio comes from two different places. Truth about demons and a dvd about divorce.

OMG THIS WAS THE BEST VID I'VE SEEN BONES/JIM!!!!!  I absolutely love how you put Joanna and Jocelyn in this :DDDDDD

You love a person for their flaws, not what they are, because they mirror your own. McCoy is a flawed, but a good man who's fallen on hard times, Kirk is in the same boat, with McCoy, they are two men proving their worth, and trying find a new purpoise in life. And I think they found it.
