Oh, Sarek. Twice?

You're drawing a very painful life for this Vulcan, STFW.

Nicely done.

Oh, wow, this is great. I am shocked to enjoy something that shows Sarek in "love" with someone other than Amanda. (I never liked Perrin.) But T'Sala seemed like a really nice girl with a good head on her shoulders. She and Sarek seemed to be perfect childhood sweethearts - a very good match arranged at 7. Her death is sad, but I suspect his experience with her makes him open to Amanda and a realtionship with her. I liked T'Sala. I almost sad she's gone ... almost. She did need to make room for Amanda. :)

This princess is going to be trouble tough ... I can tell. A bad experience all around. (I always thought a Vulcan "princess" was stupid anyway. Other than that mention in ST5, I don't think there's been any other Vulcan royalty.)

You know, this backstory actually makes Sarek's decision to bond Spock at 7 that much more logical. Although he chose Amanda freely and was very happy with that choice, he had a very good exeperience with an arranged childhood bond and perhaps hope for that same experience and acceptance for Spock. This calls for a future discussion between Sarek and adult Spock where Sarek explains what he had hoped for his son with the marriage to T'Pring.

** clap, clap, clap ** Very happy reader here, excited for more.

Oh good job,, well done. your description of both children as the bond in created was great. I could really feel and see what those two were going thru. I would love to read more about Sarek and T'Sala before you introduce Amanda. It just a Vulcan Love Story

I have recently begun following your works and I'm always delighted when I see the telltale message in my inbox that you have updated.

this chapter that you have written is the most beautiful and powerful thing I have read of yours so far. The balance of the past and present was delicately written and I felt his emotion when he lost his bonded. I am immensely looking forward to future chapters of this story.

Thank you!

Sarek is only slightly below his son in my favorite fictional characters of all time list. So to see a talented author like you take up a story about him I did a happy dance that made my son laugh!

I can't wait for more!
