Yeah, it's a catch-22. Either way it's a loss.

Loved it!

huh. this is incredible. really love Prime. Good job on the emotion-you-can-cut-w-a-not-very-sharp-knife.

This is now canon in my mind. It's that awesome. =D

M, beautiful. Such a well-done Spock voice, and the emotional reactions were marvelous. I want to see Jim's thoughts on this later, when he sees young Spock, when he realizes all that pain is inside this Spock as well, without the support or experience to bare it.

So lovely. ^^

so sweet

love it.
Its moving and makes me want to go see the movie again.

I'd love to see something continuing for this, perhaps with the other Spock's perspective?

I'll keep an eye out in case you decide to post anything else for Star Trek:09

That's intense. I love it! Any more fic ideas up your sleeves? Write more!

Powerful. And poignant. This isn't my favorite pairing ever, but you made me appreciate it. Thank you for that.

Brava! I think one of Leonard Nimoy's greatest moments as an actor is when he utters the "emotionally compromised" line. Such pain.

And you've captured that pain here. And the love and unwavering reliance the two heroes share.

It is nice to know there are some constants ... no matter which universe in which one finds oneself.

Gentle beta rec: There are a few typos that need fixed. Otherwise, brilliant, brilliant work

loved it. :3

Wow. This was exquisite. Thank you so much for lending your insight into these two characters and expressing their connection so beautifully.

okay...holy crap.

I'm sorry I can't give any real constructive criticism or anything, because this was completely and absolutely perfect. This is exactly what I walked out of the movie longing for. oh man, my heart. Beautiful!

OMG! Beautifully, thoughtfully written. Some fics, you need more, and you find yourself demanding updates. But, whether you update this or leave it as-is, it's complete. I thank you, and resolve to take it with me into my own day-dreaming on the subject...

(gasp)
