![]() ![]() Love your stories! It's easy to genuinely care about the characters because you make them so real. Thank you! |
![]() ![]() Not my first read and still a great story! |
![]() ![]() Revisiting this series after a few years, and I’m so impressed by how it holds up. There are really progressive themes here, not just the social justice ones, but the thoughtfulness consent is dealt with, among others. But it’s still sexy, haha! You’re a wonderful writer and I hope you’re still writing today. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I think this one is my fav in the series so far. Had everything! Made me cry (In a good way) |
![]() ![]() You write great stories. I re-read them every few months. |
![]() ![]() ![]() That was beautiful. A balm for troubling times. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I especially enjoyed chapter 13. You did a brilliant job depicting the legal distinctions and yet the way it wasn’t an actual court of law, so there was ambiguity in the application of the rules and in the process the review board followed, so the uncertainty provided a really nice level of tension. Cogley, Chris, and Gaila were a great insertion here. I acutely felt the frustrations of each of the characters, even Admiral Komack. It was interesting how the board threaded the needle with not formally censuring Spock, yet also demanding that he refrain from engaging in a relationship with Uhura while she is still a cadet. That feels right for the tensions in the situation. And I like how, as a result of going through this, Spock and Uhura are starting to realize that what they have with each other is more important to them than their careers. I just keep thinking of that moment in Into Darkness when everyone on the bridge suddenly realizes that they’re about to die at the hands of a rogue admiral with a vast ship designed to be a purely military vessel, and immediately Spock crosses the bridge to stand beside Uhura, who angles herself toward him, looking angry and on the verge of tears. They’re both silent and they barely touch, but the tableau fairly shouts: “we’re about to die, and I want to spend my last moments with you”, which is a choice that grows naturally out of the series of moments you’ve depicted in your universe. Lovely and consistent in feel. Well done! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Excellent perspective on Andrea. She felt wholly consistent and entirely understandable, and yet totally wrong. I’m really enjoying all the different ways the people around Spock and Uhura are easily able to see the truth about the two of them, even while the two of them believe they’re keeping their secret. I love the subtle, in-character ways you have them make each other (and me) smile. “Are you listening?” “Not with optimal efficiency.” LOL I’m also enjoying fitting the puzzle pieces of your whole timeline together, recalling details of other stories that overlap in time with this one, knowing what’s coming, realizing how the (unspoken here) past is influencing the future. The other thing I really enjoy about your universe is that it is easier to fit it with all the little details we learn from canon. Some of the other great Spock/Uhura stories, as much as I enjoy them, hinge on ignoring some small piece of canon to be able to accept them. This universe of yours is much more carefully constructed. :) |
