Honestly I could probably favorite almost every one of your stories, but since they're almost innumerable, I settled on just favoriting you as an author.
Oh. My. God.
Maybe the fact that I'm up at 3:30 am reading this had something to do with it, but I was laughing so hard that I had to have a hand stuffed over my mouth so I wouldn't have annoyed suitemates banging on my wall.
This was just awesome. The other ones I've read were just awesome. Your writing in general-- just awesome.
With regards to this story specifically, I was nearly rolling on the floor. The water thing, and just all of Amanda's little interjected thoughts in-between... Genius. Pure genius.
Spock is my favorite character in TOS, and that being so, I've often considered just where he comes from, how he grew up, my mind trying to work around the truly scant information you get on him in the show. Obviously if one's mind works hard enough, it can come up with some marvelous tales on what was provided!
Amanda, who always came off as simply 'Sarek's wife' or 'Spock's mother' to me, suddenly has-- oh my gosh-- a PERSONALITY! Of course she had a spine there in 'Journey to Babel', but really, for the most part she WAS Ambassador Sarek's wife.
This just gives her so much more. She's like a fire-cracker with a sharp wit, humor, and love all rolled into one. She can (for the most part) hold her own in a house-- world, really-- full of Vulcans, and she can do it with as much style as she's able.
Really, I just don't know what to say.
These stories give me so much more to think about with Spock and his family in general, I know it will help in my own writings and imaginings.
Please please PLEASE don't stop!
Content aside, your style is just lovely, with intriguing words, a flowing rhythm, and good basics. :)
Hopefully you don't die of boredom reading this, but I wanted to pay my tab for the EXCELLENT stories.
Best,

A Vulcan needs his water!

Hilarious. Thank you.

hi,

as usual, this story was wonderful as all your other stories...

keep up!

I like it xP very cute in its own way

Plague of cats! That's incredible!!

It's official. We need a Sarek and cat story. Perhaps one that takes up residence on the premises?

That was funny. "No water." It was perfect!

Ah, I love all of your work - so well written and interesting plotlines. I can't believe a publisher hasn't snapped you up and offered to pay your weight in gold to get you to write for them. Anyway, thank you for all of your work! Can't wait for the next installment of Amanda and Sarek!

A great story. Very funny.

Beautiful!

An amazing story - so believable and bespelling. Characterization is fantastic, especially Sarek's; plot is ingenious.
Thank you for sharing.

What a sweet story! Good to see you're back writing :-)

Sorry to hear about your loss.

I really enjoyed this piece. It was a wonderful portrayal of how deepely Sarek cared for his family. It showed that despite his being Vulcan or maybe because of it he always saw to their needs even needs that might not arise. While at the same time showing that all the planning and are can come to nought in the right circumstances. This is touching and funny all at the same time. It touches on the deeply held cultural beliefs all people have. Nicely done. I am glad you are still Writing ST. YOu do this so very well and it is appreciated. This one made me smile on a really bad day.
On a more personal note I an sorry for your loss.

Repectfully,

I am constantly amazed at your ability to show deep insights into the Vulcan culture, without making it a disproportional, two-dimensional image. Bringing up the most unusual and at the same time totally logical details, like a water source in every house, is a phenomenal forte, which comes to you naturally. It is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
