AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is my first attempt at Enterprise fan fiction. Any type of Star Trek fiction, actually. In addition, although I've seen every episode of TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOY, I have only seen about three full episodes of Enterprise because the lovely city I live in does not have UPN. Darn Indiana. The episodes I did see gave quite the background for all the shippage I've read on . However, after reading one too many "and they lived happily ever after." I decided to give my own a whirl. Below is the result. As this is my first, and I have no beta, I would appreciate any constructive criticisms. To Hoshi lovers-this is entirely from T'Pol's point of view! I like Hoshi! Honest. And if T'Pol seems out of , I never bought the "Vulcans don't have emotions" crap. Just watch TOS- we KNOW Spock and his dad have emotions-why else don't they speak for 18+ years? Oh, and one final warning-if you like every cloud with a silver lining, you probably don't want to read the story. It's pretty angsty.
