stellafleet:

what if bones is always on the bridge because one time in the academy, jim was in a simulation where his ship was attacked and there was major damage to the bridge, and he died in the sim only because medical couldn’t get to him in time, and he told this to bones later on that night when he was telling him about his day, casually, as though he were talking about the weather, and bones just sort of freezes and swears to himself that if jim were ever to captain his own ship, that would never happen.
