WARNING: This essay is severely over the word limit and will be posted in three parts.

Title: Spiced Peaches-The Spock/McCoy Story
Author: Tempest, with the aid of Montgomery R. Scott (Email: PlatoHomer2@aol.com)
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Pairing: Spock/McCoy
Spoilers: Anything having to do with the Original Series, the first seven movies, discussion groups, various slash stories on the subjects, and you just might not be able to look at a piece of technology the same way again.

Disclaimer: I think it’s obvious that I don’t own Star Trek, otherwise I’d be rich and living in Hollywood, and there would have been a special episode dedicated to the Spock/McCoy relationship. Also, although I use quotes from other people and recommend stories to prove points, this essay represents my views on S/Mc, and how I perceive them individually and in a relationship together. It’s quite possible other people disagree, but until I master the mind meld, I can only use my views.
Dedication: With special thanks to Stef for doing the massive editing job required to turn this essay into what it is, as well as to Jazz Man for reading the essay over to let me know if it made sense outside my brain. And to Holmes, for encouraging me to find my own place in fandom, which has led to me becoming what I am. And Angel, I’ll curse you forever for making me write this, but I’m glad you did. Thank you.

Author’s Notes: Recently, ship manifestos have been written for K/S, K/Mc, and K/S/Mc, and I figured that S/Mc needs the representation and this is my life, so I might as well take it upon myself to write it.

Please forgive me the length of this essay. I know Mark Twain said, “Brevity is the soul of wit,” but I’m a hell of a lot more verbose. As a matter of fact, this is the longest thing I’ve ever written. Consider it my doctoral dissertation at TSU. If you want something brief, read other pairing essays, such as the aforementioned K/S, K/Mc, or K/S/Mc. They’re concise, they’re informative, and they’re humorous. Or, you can bear with me and read this. It’s your choice, but I do promise to try and make it worth your while.

You’ll Need this later:  “On the lam” is a colloquialism meaning on the run, especially from the law. A bad pun goes “You might as well call me mint jelly, because I’m on the lam.”
