Amok Time will always be my favorite retelling of Romeo and Juliet.

(yeah, a bit role-reversed, because the one that got fake-killed with the temporary poison was not the SAME one who was about to get trapped in an arranged marriage… and also the plan actually WORKED because McCoy is a better Friar Laurence than Friar Laurence could ever hope to be… but hey, who doesn’t love a fix-it-fic retelling with a happier ending?)

And also how in this version, the romantic love between Romeo and Juliet was replaced with totally non-romantic brotherly friendsh–AHAHAAAAA I cannot even type that with a straight face anyway go read my intensely smutty fanfiction on this subject
