Fics like stars, spilling

The machines beep and whir around them, the distinctly uncomfortable sound of a hospital. Across the room, her dad is hooked up to tubes while his doctor, her uncle, administers yet another hypo. T’pri is twelve, but she feels so much younger, resting in a biobed, being told to eat. The reality of their mortality lingers around her, permeating her every thought. She knows what it’s like to starve. She thinks losing her dad would feel similarly—an ache that chews away at her insides, a rot that grows on everything she tries to consume. Her dad is fine, by one of those variable definitions, but one day he won’t be. She worries what will become of her when he’s not. (Star Trek: Into Darkness, in the world of like blood, the stars.)
