Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
bask in my extremely correct headcanon. Jean-Luc Picard asexual icon
I love listening to music to get inspired. This has manifested itself into playlists for the main seven in TOS and AOS. I don't have playlists for specific ships just because I have so many so all the songs for all my ships for a certain character are an amalgamation of angst and fluff!
This is mainly for AOS btw, and I've only included the non-shipping ones that are included in my timeline. Let's go!
Run Boy Run | Woodkid- Tarsus IV, Jim was chosen, he ran away and collapsed in the arms of a Starfleet officer
San Francisco | Scott McKenzie- Jim exploring Starfleet Academy in his first week there
Mambo No.5 | Lou Bega- Jim having fun 😉
Golden | Harry Styles- This is the most shippy this is going to get, but only because this is in every timeline for all of my ships. It's Jim and Bones friendship during the academy years, how they're the only people that truly understand each other. But it's also Bones developing a crush on Jimmy boy, this also contains an "I'll patch you up after a bar fight but you're going to get flirty scolding too scene"
I Love to Boogie | T Rex- Just Jim and Bones drunk off their tits dancing once exams are over
Honky Cat | Elton John- I just need Jim getting ready for the day to this song, it's a great montage song
Let Us Adore You | Steven Universe the Movie- This just makes me think of the Admirals loving Jim when the 5 year mission starts because he's living up to his father, finally
Space Oddity | David Bowie- I imagine that Ambassador Spock left Spock a load of Old Earth pop culture things he found, one of them is this song. So he and Jim listen on the observation deck with the gravity off
Escapism | Steven Universe- This is inspires a scene in a fanfiction I'm currently drafting, so no spoilers 😉
And now some non-shippy Jim vibes!
Sexyback | Justin Timberlake- Do you need an explanation?
I'm Too Sexy | Right Said Fred- See above comment (also the video I put in was by Putnik68)
Cut to the Chase | Rush- Jim training, maybe anti gravity training or with new tech
Love Like You | Steven Universe- Self-esteem issues with Leonard and Spock but they all think this about themselves and the others
Other Friends | Steven Universe Movie- Mirror!Kirk, maybe he finds some of his officers have joined the resistance?
Here Comes a Thought | Steven Universe- Anxiety and feelings ☹
7 Rings | Ariana Grande- Just imagine the main 7 being sassy to this
Candyman | Christina Aguilera- Jim being sexy yet again, maybe some dancing too
Seaside Rendezvous | Queen- This song is a bop but full of crack, they probably just sing this after too much wine, or fruit cocktails for Spock
Strangers | Taemin- Just undercover spy vibes
What do you think of my choices? Do you have any songs that scream Jim? I hope you enjoyed listening to this, I'll probably do Spock next because, trust me, Bones has many many songs in his playlist!
Un simple y rápido dibujo
A simple and quick drawing
Idea: McCoy es un gran doctor, incluso en el universo del Mirror, pero a menudo se ve eclipsado por Spock. Su trabajo nunca está recompensado, y todos piensan que es inútil (es un trabajo que no exige capacidades físicas. La fuerza física en el universo del Mirror es esencial). Spock le obliga a hacer entrenamiento, pero es muy duro con él y lo sobreexplota. McCoy llega a pensar que ser doctor no sirve de mucho en este universo, hasta que salva a Spock de la muerte con sus habilidades médicas y su pericia. A partir de ahí descubre cómo poner cualquier situación peligrosa en su favor en vez de usar la fuerza bruta, y Spock se lo agradece.
Idea: McCoy is a great doctor, even in the Mirror universe, but he is often overshadowed by Spock. His work is never rewarded, and everyone thinks he's useless (it's a job that doesn't require physical abilities. Physical strength in the Mirror universe is essential). Spock forces him to do training, but is very hard on him and over-exploits him. McCoy comes to think that being a doctor is of little use in this universe, until he saves Spock from death with his medical skills and expertise. From there he discovers how to turn any dangerous situation to his advantage instead of using brute force, and Spock thanks him for it.

THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN THE MIRRORVERSE
If McCoy was bashful in the normal universe, I think in the Mirrorverse even more so. Not because of his personality, but because of what Spock represents. In the beginning of their relationship, Bones dares very little, occasionally patting him on the shoulder or back. When he feels more confident, maybe a hug, but not too tight. Spock is the one who keeps everything going, he accepts McCoy's touches, although he would like them to be more. He often caresses him in private, but there isn't much physical contact either, it's more like verbal affection. Their relationship takes longer to develop than in the normal universe because it isn't until later that they fully trust each other.

Spock and McCoy having a little chat
Once Bones discovers that it's serious, he's encouraged to give him little kisses, to sit beside him and snuggle into his arms in private. He realises that he really likes him and would like things to go faster, but he gives it time, doesn't want to spoil it, and is still afraid of upsetting Spock and making him leave the relationship. Spock sees an improvement in McCoy's attitude and becomes more affectionate verbally, not so much physically. It still gives him a bit of decorum to be around him, and as much as he wants to move on to "the next phase", he doesn't force anything.

I put a "Keep reading":
Some time later discovering themselves, they start with gentle caresses on their arms and hair. That is what they need in their everyday life, something to alleviate the horror of their universe, something to forget about injustice and violence. It helps them a lot to get to know each other better, to find out what they like, to talk about the future, etcetera. For the first time, they feel happy and comfortable. McCoy sees that Spock is not a bully and Spock realises that Bones is not just a sentimentalist. In short, they trust each other well.
McCoy giving Spock a hug
As their relationship prospers, they share more time together and dare to deepen in their emotions. However, their verbal language is more developed than physical contact. On one terrible day, when they are very tired of their society, they decide to sleep together. They discover that it's very comforting for them to cuddle, and then they start to attach more importance to physical contact than before. Of course, they hide it from everyone.
Spock and McCoy sleeping together
On the issue of who is the big spoon and the little spoon, in this case I think, without doubt, that Spock is the big spoon. This time it's not so evenly matched, because McCoy lets himself be handled a lot, and even though Spock is quite soft with him, McCoy likes it. There are times when Bones is dominant, but they're fewer.

THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN THE NORMAL UNIVERSE
I think McCoy is embarrassed to show his affection at first. He doesn't know if Spock will take a hug, a touch or a kiss. He knows that Spock has been raised as a Vulcan and not as a human, and he's not sure if he'll like that sort of thing. He's also a little embarrassed to question, and asks permission every time he wants to hug him or do any of those things. He knows about romantic relationships, since he had been in several ones, that is to say, he has the experience, but he doesn't know how to use it with Spock.
The Vulcan knows that Bones must be given his private space, and he verifies it when he sees that even when they are together, the doctor does nothing. And although Spock would like to casual touch him more often, he stops doing so, which makes McCoy insecure.

Spock and McCoy holding hands
Once they have been together for a while, they decide to talk about it and discover that they both want to show their affection, but thought the other didn't want to. Little by little they start to hold each other in their arms, caress each other's shoulders, hair, face... all this in private. And they trust each other more to talk about all their insecurities in the relationship.
McCoy giving a kiss to Spock's cheek
This post is longer, I put a "Keep reading":
As their love grows, McCoy becomes more affectionate, he treats Spock especially well and Spock appreciates it. They dare to do more things, like sleeping at night together. But they don't tell anyone, they are both introverted people and don't feel comfortable showing it to more people. McCoy, when he's in need of affection, lets Spock hold him, play with his hair, all with gentleness. And when it's the other way around, Bones floods the Vulcan with kisses.
Spock and McCoy cuddling. Spock is holding McCoy, who is asleep
Who is the big spoon? I think they take turns, but I wouldn't know who is more dominant. There would be several reasons to think it's Spock (in many fics it's him), but I think it would be pretty evenly matched. On the one hand, I think it's McCoy because he has the most experience, but on the other hand, I imagine him asking Spock to be the dominant, so that's why I say there's a balance. Maybe, after a while, there will be one of the two who is a bit more dominant, and then I think it could be Spock.

BRIEFLY DESCRIBING THEIR PERSONALITIES
What are they like in love? This is a general question that I like to ask myself a lot. This includes more specific ones: How do they show their love for each other? Who is more affectionate? What do they like to do? Who is the big spoon and the little spoon? ...
Well, I think I have to differentiate between the normal universe and the Mirrorverse. Spock and McCoy are the characters who most resemble themselves in those universes (in personality), but obviously there are differences, and I think those differences are reflected in their relationship.
1. Spock and Mirror McCoy 2. Mirror Spock and McCoy
Normal Spock is logical, calm, thoughtful, thinks long and hard before he acts, and chooses not to use violence. Mirror Spock is forced to use violence (even if he doesn't really like it), is prepared to manipulate to get what he needs, is also thoughtful, but a little less calm (I think), and is still logical.
Spock and Mirror Spock
McCoy, in my opinion, is the most similar in both universes. The normal McCoy is sentimental, somewhat sensitive (even if he doesn't want to show it), cares a lot about others (especially if they are his friends) and would sacrifice himself for them, likes to tease Spock, isn't violent at all (if the situation requires it, he prefers verbal harm) and is brave at times. And the most important trait: he knows how to bring out Spock's emotions. Mirror McCoy is pretty much the same, only he tends to threaten. People are afraid of him because of threats, but they never come true, and if they come true, not by his hand. Spock or Jim are the ones who incite him to torture or hit someone, he almost never decides it on his own. Perhaps he's more fearful than his counterpart, because that universe is terrible (violence everywhere, death if you don't have allies, betrayal...), and he's not so daring with Spock (the Vulcan imposes him quite a lot).
McCoy and Mirror McCoy
With that out of the way, it's time to answer the questions, but that will be in another post.
