Uncharted Seas
This story was written for kivitaskula in exchange for her donation to Help Brazil. Her prompt:
I'd love some Star Trek TOS McCoy fic. Preferred pairings McCoy/Kirk/Spock and McCoy/canon love interests, but cool with others as well.
Because of my apparent inability to actually read the prompt, it ended up as a 2009 Movie story. kivitaskula like it so that was a win!

Spock let himself into Dr. McCoy’s quarters. Ordinarily he would not violate the doctor’s privacy in such a blatant manner. However, given the deep concern expressed by the Medical Staff at Leonard’s unheard of absence, Spock used his override to unlock the door when ringing the chime elicited no response.
“Leonard?” Spock said into the darkness shrouding the quarters. When there was no answer, he cautiously made his way to the sleeping section. There he found Leonard sitting on the edge of his bed, his elbows on his knees, his fingers tightly intertwined. His hair was in disarray and it appeared that he had not shaved in at least two days. “Leonard,” Spock repeated, kneeling before him. Spock could not see the other man’s expression but his body language spoke of misery and defeat. “Lights 20%. What is wrong?” Spock asked in a quiet voice.
Leonard slowly raised his head, his eyes swollen and red-rimmed. “Sickbay alert you?” Leonard asked in a gravelly voice. It sounded unused and out of practice.
