Oof, this hurt. Reading it a second time was incredible because so many little details made more sense knowing the end - especially this part:
"You're supposed to be looking out for them," McCoy groused. A quick look around the overflowing bar ensured that the rest of the crew were safe, if in various stages of vanishing sobriety. With, of course, the glaring exception of Spock, who sat with a not entirely sober in her own right Uhura.
"I am looking out for them."
Hope you don't mind but in this part:
The body that they had carried between them had not been that of the younger Chekov, but of Captain Kirk, dead after he'd taken a hit for Anton, gone before he'd even hit the floor.
Chekov's first name is Pavel - Anton is his actor's first name. ^^
