Date: 2010-06-30 07:21 pm (UTC)I was hooked right from the start and i found myself riding this journey with kirk; his frustration and his love and his friendships. the need to have spock be okay and to watch the events unfold with spock's agoraphobia and the efforts taken by his loved ones to go out there and make it happen was so good.
bones! and joanna! my two favourite characters were very well fleshed out and they became my favourites in this fic, too and you are so good at characterisation, whilst i am on it! they are very recognisable as the characters they love and your consistency in keeping them that way is something i would strive for ;)
thank you very much for this wonderful piece of work. i love it and you should be very proud of it :)

I'm a very steadfast, undying TOS fan, and I'm generally unenthusiastic about reading any nu!Trek fiction . . .
The only exception is your body of work :) I genuinely enjoy reading your Abram's Trek stories. I love your characterizations of Kirk and Spock, and the stories themselves are very well-written.
So . . . great job at being awesome :D
