Name a character and I'll tell you at least one fact about the character from my own personal pseudo-canon.

It would be extremely helpful when you also add whether it's about TOS or Reboot and if you have one of my stories or series as context in mind :)

Like in TOS, he has a wife and a daughter, and has helped his father to die. But the divorce was harsher, and he joins Starfleet almost right away, still emotionally rather raw. It doesn't heal well in all the stress of proving himself and learning many things he'd never wanted to know (like flying a goddamn shuttle).

Due to that, he's a lot rougher on the outside than in TOS, which is mirrored by being less stable and sure inside. Flying around in space and trying to fix Jim every other day is slowly eroding his own mental health and happiness. One day he'll crack in a way TOS McCoy wouldn't.

If you're writing that, I am looking forward to it. *cough* /evil

No, he won't, because he has Spock/Sulu/Scotty/SOMEBODY to even him out and keep him steady. ALL WILL BE WELL, I SAY. ::shoves fingers in ears::

Mirrorverse McCoy -- Reboot or TOS (or both!). I don't have any particular story in mind, so whatever version of them you want. :-)

Ah, that's very hard because I don't have an MU McCoy head canon per se, it differs in the stories.

But I'm *cough* a fan of Dominated!McCoy in MU - any universe. The stories with nasty, dark McCoy doing his own brutal deeds are fine, but what really turns me on is McCoy being Spock's or Kirk's bitch, strongly controlled, topped, manipulated, abused and used *cough* The more, the better. Non-cons very fine.

For TOS, I think Kirk would like to share but Spock is a jealous, possessive guy who prefers McCoy for himself ;) For Reboot, it tends to be possessive Kirk keeping McCoy all for himself while Spock being busy with Uhura.

That's about the only head canon I have here.

Spock Prime is really a man torn out of his normal life, he's lost everything, which gains him ultimate freedom and ultimate responsibility for not just his own life but also all decisions he makes.

He's oscillating between closing his eyes to developments he could influence, and many weak moments in which he lets information slip out to protect those who are important to him.

He expects a sneaky attempt to capture him for interrogation any second, and is prepared to kill himself in that case.

He misses Kirk and McCoy so much more since he met their young counterparts; it's been one thing to accept them dying, but it's another to now them alive and apart from him.

He thought Pike would be easy to get, although his experience with the other Pike should've told him better.

He keeps wondering why the Sarek in the new universe behaved quite differently to his son, but cannot find out the reason. It's like an eternal thorn in his flesh.

He had a shit childhood but he was never sexually abused.

He wasn't on Tarsus.

He'll never reconcile with his mother.

He's still angry at Sam for having left him and then having sneaked out of this life much too early.

He never utters this opinion aloud, but he thinks mothers and fathers who leave their children back on Earth are essentially leaving them behind. It influences the granted transfer requests off and to the Enterprise more than he'd admit.

Okay, comparing that to what you say about your Reboot McCoy still having his daughter on Earth... ooh, I think I've got chills. Does your Reboot Kirk know about Joanna?

Yes, he does, and it's different because he knows Jocelyn forced Bones out of Joanna's life - it wasn't Bones' choice.

But he had a few hard days to sort that out once he found it out.

From: [identity profile] syredronning.livejournal.com
That's tricky, because I want to use most of the facts unknown at one point or the other :)

Let's see:

He's not on Earth for the funeral of his father and his mother (which takes places only months later).

In the contract with which he sold his parents' farm, there's a clause that gives him first buying rights if the current owner ever sells again.

He's a single child but in his youth he often wished he'd have had some brothers.

He'll never really get used to the smell of female sex organs.

After John's remark about Alain's kids, he checks out Alain's current whereabouts. When Alain's son applies for the Academy years later, he makes sure that the boy gets into it. He doesn't think it's revenge - he's long over Alain - but he's admittedly a little smug about this turn of fate.

EDIT (because it just came to mind): My Pike isn't good with languages, especially alien languages. He's passed the required basic classes for Vulcanoid languages and Klingon and Andorian, but he forgot most about it. It means he's got to rely on automatic translators and linguists, but he believes in using his strengths instead of fixing his few sub-standard aspects.

Fascinating. The one about the smell of female sex organs makes me wonder if that wasn't the same in TOS and part of a reason why he had that thing for Orion women (who would smell different).

Reboot Jocelyn. :)

Jocelyn needed to get away from McCoy because he was spiraling down the road of depression and alcoholism and she simply didn't know what else to do to save Joanna and herself.

A part of her still loves him and is sad about the development, but she doesn't know how to bridge the gap anymore. Because of that, she keeps finding good excuses why he shouldn't see his daughter (conflicting schedules and all). She also thinks that if the two have less contact, it would be easier on both, given that she's remarried and her new husband tries to be a really good father for Jo.

She will show up in Draws one day.

I had a look, hee :) I had kept it open, too curious to let any answers pass.

Reboot Sam - thinks he's a true Kirk but he isn't. If anything, he's got more from Winona and he realizes that once he's run away. But after that he's got no choice - he can't and won't go back to Frank, and he's got nowhere else to go.

He lives outside of the law in some city slum (yes, I think they still exist in Startrek) until he's sixteen, then he does odd jobs. He tries to get back to school but he's not as clever as his younger brother. He feels bad for being such a failure and starts drinking on a rather early age.

He lives with this and that woman, has the odd almost-stepson once in a while and tries to be a good "father" but stops that once he notices he's just as bad as Frank has been, irascible, shouting, slapping them when he's a little drunk and annoyed about them wanting anything from him.

I can never see him end well in Reboot. He might not die, but I can't see him having a normal life.

I seldom comment on your sotries because when I get there, wiser keyboards have already said it all. But I really like the tips revealed here. That part about Reboot McCoy rings true to me, and makes me wonder if you will one day write that crack and its consequences. I love how strong and stable your ToS McCOy is, so I wonder whether cracking mightily and recovering from it would have the same result for Reboot Bones.

Your description of Spock Prime made me nod vigorously... and so I think it's only Reboot Spock left. How do you feel about him in general (he doesn't have much of a part in Draws but still..)

First of all, I love to read comments on stories because it shows me there are readers! You don't have to write a long feedback, but I still love to hear from you :)

Reboot Spock, hmmmm, that's a guy I can't connect to. But I really should try, because I love SpockPrime (Spock in TOS was my first big fandom love and MarySueFocus *cough*)

So... Reboot Spock stays with Uhura. She's got the right mix for him, outside in control, cool, distanced, professional, and inside soft and gentle like his mother was. He could never live with a Vulcan woman, and he knows that and it's part of the reason why he gives in so quickly to SpockPrime's suggestion that he should stay on the Enterprise.

However, he and Kirk never turn into the team they might have made in the other universe. Kirk has such a different style in everything he does and he's with McCoy since forever and they fit quite perfectly. It's a 2+2 constellation that works quite well, but Spock never feels more connected to Kirk than any XO would feel to his long-time captain.

Sarek keeps waiting for grandchildren, but Reboot Spock really doesn't feel ready to deliver any (even though Uhura let it slip through that she'd do it for him, and he gathered that she's even consulted McCoy on their options). Children don't belong on a spaceship, but he would never let his child grow up alone on New Vulcan. Or anywhere alone, for the matter. Or maybe not on New Vulcan anyway, considering that his children will be only a quarter Vulcan and the natural outsiders.

For Draws -
Reboot Spock doesn't really get this kind of complicated relationship, and his mind boggles a little when he tries to imagine Admiral Pike being with Kirk and McCoy. It explains the Admiral's interest into the young man a little, though, and leaves a sour note regarding Spock's memory of the Kobayashi Maru hearing and the various discussions he had with Pike before that. Oh, and that thing about making Kirk first officer in the middle of the Narada crisis. Yes, a decidedly sour note.

He's wary of SpockPrime and his agenda, especially once he hears about the Borg. A part of him wishes the man would vanish or die; but then, it is himself, although he doesn't understand him, and it is illogical to wish death onto oneself. He tries to keep track of SpockPrime's activities through Sarek, but as he doesn't want to be too obvious, he misses the most important ones.

Hmmm, feel free to ask for specific details :)

Heh, I enjoyed this, too. Reboot!Spock's opinion on the threesome relationship, especially. It gave me the image of how he'd react if someone told him about the Prime verse and his relationship to Kirk and McCoy there. ;-)
