@iinwented-in-russia​ // Pavel Chekov ;; 

Chekov reported on time. There was no reason to suggest he wouldn’t, but it still took Leonard by surprise. Maybe because he was so damn used to the senior officers blowing him off for every routine physical or check-up. “Ensign, yes. Come in. Siddown.” He motioned to a small bench built into the wall perpendicular to his desk.

The kid was obviously not thrilled about being there. Leonard couldn’t blame him. Not after all the times he’d been patched up already. He was probably going to have a lifelong fear of doctors after this mission was over. 

Now was the time to come up with something to say. “How’re you doing, Chekov?” he asked in a gruff tone. Not very comforting. He’d damn near lost his bedside manner. “Feeling better after all that business with the Tholians?”

It always seemed like they stopped the chaos from happening right in the knick of time. With Jim gone for so long, and everyone on the ship slipping into madness, it was a wonder they even got out of that situation. It hadn’t been the first time Leonard thought they weren’t going to make it.

Not to say he didn’t have confidence in Spock as an acting captain. Not as long as they followed everything to the letter. Like Jim had said in his recording to them - they balanced each other out. Spock had to play the logic card, it’s just who he was. The doctor was more than happy to be his moral compass, even if he didn’t seem it most of the time. Leonard had to hand it to the captain - he sure as hell knew them well enough. 

Chekov had been the first to go. As soon as they’d gotten back from the Defiant, the kid through a fit, screaming and swinging at Spock for all he was worth. Well, even though they’d found a cure, Leonard wasn’t about to send him on his way. Seemed since Pavel had come aboard, all sorts of wild things had happened to him. It was enough to put even the most seasoned officer on edge. He couldn’t imagine what it was doing to the kid. 

He had called him in for a routine physical. Nothing to make him nervous before he came in. He’d do some readings, but he wanted to question him about his mental well-being. After all, in the last year the kid had been mind-controlled, left to freeze to death, thrown in a gladiator ring, made to watch all of his friends age dramatically, died - he’d been through the ringer. 

Leonard sat in his officer, fingers absently drumming on the desktop. It was easy to demand the ensign come in for a check-up. A little more difficult to figure out just what to say to the kid.

The Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual

Memory Alpha • Full text online

You know what startles me? Discovering that this manual made it into Memory Alpha. That means it’s not a “licensed product”—it’s considered core canon. And supposedly its creation was overseen by McCoy! “I’m a doctor, not a writer,” but here he is, writing a medical reference manual. Good job bro.

Features:

The full text of the Hippocratic oath

Hot Vulcans all the time, everywhere

Valuable insight into how to intubate a Gorn

No recognition of childbirth, despite noting that Tellarites don’t do it the way everyone else does

No really, are there no women who might possibly get pregnant in Star Fleet [sic]?

Anatomical diagram of a Tribble

Book design and typesetting that I can only describe as “someone typed out their notes on a typewriter, and we bound it, and now we have a book”

No, really, a lot of hot Vulcans

I think this may be my favorite of all the Star Trek items I own. It takes itself so, so seriously and simultaneously is so, so laughable and also super valuable for fanfic research somehow all at once. Do yourself a favor and go read it, cause yes, the full text is available online!

Bones: There are always lessons in failures.

Spock: Yes. You must be very wise by now.

●: If you could say just one thing to your Muse, what would it be?

If I could say one thing to Leonard it would probably be “Don’t be so hard on yourself.” He takes every failure to heart and replays every mistake that he makes. His intentions are good, but he gets caught up in his emotions and sometimes forgets to take a step back.

If Sarek were not a Vulcan, he might laugh. He had a thousand memories of Spock, defiantly silent even in his youth when he still sought his father’s approval, and now? He was unknowable to Sarek in many ways. 

“It is not merely a Human perception to note the obvious; my son is secretive. It goes beyond a desire for privacy, which is common among Vulcans in comparison with many–although not all–Human cultural norms. I believe he takes some form of satisfaction in being an enigma.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly. “I am no expert when it comes to Spock. However… It is gratifying to know that he is appreciated. I believe that is something he values, and has not always experienced.”

Sarek would not speak at length about his son’s childhood; that was up to Spock to choose to tell or not to tell. But perhaps the implication was enough for the doctor to understand, at least to some extent. 

Spock had been so very alone for much of his childhood, sometimes because he was rejected and sometimes because he was protecting himself. To call it gratifying that he’d found someone he wished to spend his life with was quite an understatement, yet Sarek didn’t have another word for it that he could use with a near stranger.

Leonard did love hearing Sarek’s observations of Spock. He was absolutely right - Spock loved to pretend he knew something everyone else didn’t. It went deeper than that though. Spock made a lot of comments about how different he was and how he was delighted in that. Leonard had long suspected this was his way of trying to embrace the fact that he was so different - accept it and flaunt it. 

“Of course he’s appreciated,” Leonard mumbled with a puzzled look on his face. He had an entire crew that loved him like a family. Starfleet was tripping over itself to get their hands on him. There was an entire galaxy out there that knew his name. Leave it to Spock to still think people didn’t appreciate him. 

Being in his parents’ house and speaking about his childhood reminded Leonard how much of a marvel Spock must have been when he was growing up. The only Vulcan-Human child to ever survive...that must have put some pressure on the kid. You couldn’t go through life without that carrying over into adulthood. 

“Well, I hope he knows that’s what I’m here for,” Leonard said. He looked up and let his eyes meet with Sarek’s. “To appreciate him, I mean. You know I have a suspicion that it’s difficult for Vulcans to keep all of their emotions bottled up all the time...especially Spock.” Was this an insulting thing to say? Probably. But they were having an honest conversation, and damn if it didn’t need to be said. “But that’s what relationships are for, aren’t they? We all hide things. We all act one way in public and another behind the scenes. I just hope Spock realizes I’m not gonna judge him if he can’t keep this whole-” He waved his hand idly. “-Vulcan thing up forever. It just seems so exhausting.”

He smirked at Sarek. “I gotta say, the teachings of Surak do have their good points, though. Damn near saved my life a few times. It’s just that constant monitoring really beats down on you after years and years.”

Leonard thought he was doing a fine job giving advice whether he knew it or not. He knew he had a lot of ‘moods’, and he knew Spock was still in the process of categorizing the proper reaction to various ones. It made Leonard feel awful sometimes, but he couldn’t help it - that’s just how he was.

“I can assure you it is not one of those times,” he said. “Spock and I have a pretty good understanding of one another. Sometimes he just seems...secretive to me. That’s probably a human’s perception though, isn’t it? I figure you have the best know-how out of everyone.” He offered a smile. There was certainly something about a child’s relationship to their mother. In Leonard’s experience, however, mothers tended to rose-tint their understanding. It seemed a father like Sarek - logical, realistic, Vulcan - might see Spock from a unique, personal perspective. 

He could have been reading the situation all wrong though. For being so straightforward, Vulcans were so damn secretive.

Leonard could have been making Spock’s life a living hell. He could have been adding chaos to the already too-chaotic part of him. “The way I feel,” he said, noting how ridiculous it was to start a sentence that way when speaking to Sarek. “Is that Spock and I both have a little bit of chaos. I like to think we help temper that in each other.” 

Leonard shrugged a little. “Well, regardless, I’m very happy at how it all turned out. I feel very lucky to be with him.”
