Summary
Sometimes, when their emotions get to be too much, Scotty, Jim, and Bones go drinking on shore leave. It has been their tradition for the past five years. There, in the many bars across the universe, they won't judge when the three start talking about how badass and amazing their loves are. They can be in love in peace, and they can come to terms with the fact they will never be loved in the same way as they love their dear ones.
Because Spock and Uhura have been dating for eight years. Scotty and Jim think something is going to happen on the first shore leave of the second five-year mission that will involve a wedding canopy and some Vulcan drums.
And Bones just watched Chekov get ready for a dinner to meet the parents of his girlfriend.
The three of them think they will never end up with their love, and they smile because Spock, Uhura, and Chekov are happy. No matter how much it hurts. So they drink.
They're wrong.
And Spock, Uhura, and Chekov are all about to prove how wrong they are. As they travel through space to new planets, new people and more missions, Bones', Scotty's and Jim's lives change.

What the hell happened on that shore leave?! Jim wondered.
