I’m reading this again. Still as powerful as the first time! I’m so glad that, in the end, Sarek is most concerned about Spock’s contentment! It almost seems as if he has resolved to include Amanda (or her pov) in all his Spock decisions. Oddly his chapters are very moving for me. Thanks for the HEA although I guess it was implied in Into Darkness.

that was great

I cried from beginning to end! Loved it so much.

This feels like a canon explanation - I feel like I've been privy to what went on behind the scenes and in the minds of these characters. Thanks for this!

Lovely! I enjoyed the three-way structure, and how you play with the notion of truth, lies, and how which one we think a certain piece of information is can change both with perspective and with time. Excellent work.

Very well written. I went through a lot of emotions while reading this.. the end was a little suddrlen. I would love to know more about how it continued. But I will read more of your stories now and I am sure that will be good as wellwell done and thanks for sharing with us

most, most satisfying. I love following their differences.

*gasp!* I'd say something nice, but I've got to keep reading...

I find these varied perspectives fascinating, not the least because of the myriad assumptions each is making, Sarek and Spock because of far too many years letting Amanda mediate and Uhura because she still leaps before she thinks. And everyones emotions are so very fraught it's a wonder they can even function, let alone interpret each other and what they're not saying.

This chapter made me cry

Hey, I didn't review this chapter! Convenient. I've been sporadically re-reading different fragments of these (or the stories in their entirety, who needs sleep?) and it's been interesting to revisit them after having completed them (to date, that is). I did notice a minor inconsistency in this one when Nyota remembers meeting Amanda. In this, it takes before she becomes his assistant, unlike in "People Will Say" where they meet upon her returning assignments to Spock's office. Very minor, all things considered. I likely would have missed it had I not read that chapter ten minutes ago. Did I mention that I've been reading them in a completely chaotic order? Yeah, doesn't make much sense to me either. Oh, well. Am I crazy or did you not go over the events of the first movie, Star Trek? I could have sworn you did...

Beautiful

Aaaaaaaanndd things are beginning to look up. Whew.

Again, poor Sarek. He just doesn't get it. And, surprisingly, this frustrates him. I didn't expect that.

Poor Nyota. She's so stressed. I can hardly fathom how hard her day-to-day life is right now.
