bb!Jim Masterpost
I got tired of all the bb!Jim posts not linking directly together.
Also, be sure to check here for more bb!Jim fics - I'm a lazy poster, but I'll always tag a bb!Jim story as such.
Written for this prompt on the buckleup_meme : For whatever reason (ghost, mental illness, etc.), Jim is able to see his dead father. He grows up being able to see, talk and interact with him. No one else is able to see George though and his mother turns a blind eye to Jim's behavior. Jim goes on to Starfleet and meets and begins a relationship with Bones, who is convinced Jim suffers from a mental illness and is determined to help him. Jim doesn't really want help though and doesn't want to lose his father.

Sidestory: A Hand in the Darkness
Summary: “When I was ten years old,” Jim says, voice tight and hands clenched tighter, “I drove my dad’s antique Corvette into a quarry in Iowa. [...] Within the week I was on a shuttle to stay with my mother’s brother and his family on a relatively new colony called Tarsus IV. It was supposed to be fun... For six months, that was the happiest I’d ever been." Jim smiles wryly and shakes his head. “Obviously, it didn’t stay that way.” || 9,095 words
