![]() ![]() ![]() Damn! This story was a pleasure to read and so perfect I’m compelled to find flaws. We all know Nyota is a grade-obsessed student, but what is she doing going to Spock’s apartment? And did they not teach this xenolinguistics major not to do finger porn with Vulcans? Lol! Thank you so much for leaving this nugget for me to discover all these years later! |
![]() ![]() In vain have I struggled, it will not do. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I love and admire you. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I absolutely love the warning Gaila gives Uhura; the way it’s phrased is so provocative and really sets the stage for whatever is to come |

![]() ![]() ![]() Augh, I've only been reading in the Star Trek section for the past month or so and THIS is the story I've been craving. I generally loiter over in JAFF, so this combination was incredible. Spoke and Uhura remind me strongly of Darcy and Elizabeth, at least in their seemingly stark differences that strangely combine into a satisfying balance, so I don't think I really traveled too far. This, however, is something else entirely. I'm entirely geeking out over how well you combined P&P with SpockUhura; it's positively seamless. Honestly, had I not read P&P before, I wouldn't have been suspicious of the similarities at all and would have read it simply as a Star Trek fanfiction, which is kinda amazing. Somehow, you've created a crossover that is much like the pairing I described above in that these two different works somehow combined in a symbiotic balance that just works. It doesn't feel forced at all; it feels like all the pieces fit easily together, like a jigsaw. You used the bits that worked (Spock's aloof nature, Uhura's cleverness, the Enterprise as Pemberley, etc) and left out the things that didn't (Mr Collins, romantic meddling, etc) and I've always felt that being judicious with the borrowed details is important. Throwing something into the mix just because it was in the original can often make a fic feel cluttered, but careful selection is often more refreshing and cohesive. In short, I was impressed. I especially liked how you utilized the characters. Spock and Uhura as Darcy and Elizabeth go without saying, of course, but the minor characters were almost more interesting to contemplate because I had to consider them more carefully. Gaila was a strange, amusing mix of Jane, Charlotte and Lydia; Kirk an unwitting (though hardly malicious) Wickham; the concept of Sarek as Lady Catherine makes me giggle, though he behaved with more dignity than LC ever did; Amanda works perfectly as Georgiana; the female Vulcans as Miss Bingley and Mrs Hurst were appropriately snooty; Uhura's adviser as the Gardiners worked well as both character(s) act in the capacity of a devil's advocate; and so on. I could go on, but I think my impression has been elaborated on enough. Well done, this is one of my new favorite stories. Props. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I re-read this story a few weeks ago (still as great as the first time around) and a few days ago, I happened to watch "Pride&Prejudice&Zombies) and while watching, I never thought "oh yeah, this is like the JA novel" but constantly compared it to the things that happened in this story |
