I know this is over a decade later but the two conversations is great. I'm thoroughly enjoying this work.

Totally agree about the empire. We did dodge a bullet. See how good this story is. I was totally immersed hence the "we." Good job!

I love this. I wish they could help me with my quantitative data presentations!

No, it's a great story still in 2024! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us

I have phased in and out of fanfiction over the years, and Star Trek is not even a fandom I engage with, but I feel so lucky to have stumbled across this story back when 2009 and the sequel were released. I have come back to read this series probably 3 times now and I know I will be back again.

You weave such a plausible origin story - excellent (bad) science, engaging side arcs, and emotional slow burn. Not a sordid student teacher fantasy, but instead a sweet, complicated love story. (What can I say, I’m a sucker for forbidden romance.)

Spock and Uhura are so consistently in character and so real. And I must compliment you on some of the best OCs I’ve ever encountered in fanfic, full stop!

I refuse to accept any other canon for this universe. This is it.

This time around I’m thrilled to see you are a published author of original fiction - not surprised! I can’t wait to explore some of those other works. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us, and for keeping it up here!

Now, onto the extras and sequels…

Hi. Just letting you know I'm still reading this. I think I first found it before you had finished, I've reread it every 2-3 years since. It's just so wonderful and one of my all time favourite stories :) thank you.

Does the math work on that date? Spock Prime says "127 years from now" iirc which would make it at least 107 years old but you have to add the ~23 years (however old Kirk is at this point in time) since the Narada went through the black hole so if quantum dating works like I think, it should read as around 130 years old.

I love rule breakers, be they human writers, or whoever. Keep it up

Jabari is a great character. He deserves a spin off of his own, at the least

All I can think of at this point is that old science fiction story “to serve mankind. Or perhaps womankind!

There are so many stories going on here all at once. Are you going to tie it all together ?

Ok, they like it a little rough, I get it. But hells bells!this is gonna be difficult to conceal.

This is very interesting and very ’s fascinating to coin a phrase, too be in Spock’s head. That being said, I find the biting creepy.
But as you pointed out, she is dating an alien

This Spock is definitely different from the one I'm used to but it's an interesting approach.

I like the way they come to understand eachother from the event that took place. Uhura is very emotionally intelligent, so much she knows when she is getting played, even if by the well respected Spock. And Spock starts to develop feelings after Uhura creates a space for him to do so. Maybe he prevented himself for feeling deeper because he simply did not realize he could.
