STONES

(𝐎𝐂 𝐱 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐌𝐜𝐂𝐨𝐲)

Five years on the Enterprise.

Five years of boldly going where no one has gone before, discovering new worlds, rewriting the map of the galaxy - and, for Iris, five years of being trapped on the same ship as one permanently scowling, overcaffeinated doctor who seems to think her life's work is a joke.

𝐼𝓉'𝓈 𝒽𝒶𝓉ℯ 𝒶𝓉 𝒻𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 𝓈𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉.

She's a top-tier terraforming student, trained to reshape planets and breathe life into dead worlds. He calls it "playing in the dirt" and insists she's one bad landing away from becoming his next emergency surgery.

But when a "routine" mission to survey an uninhabited planet turns into a fight for survival against hostile terrain, Iris and McCoy are forced into the one situation they both swore they'd never tolerate: working together without killing each other first.
