USS Enterprise, Sickbay, year 2246

Spock woke up slowly, coming to consciousness in the dim night illumination of sickbay. His head ached terribly; it felt like someone was sitting on his chest, and his hands hurt. He tried to get up but found that he barely had the strength to lift his head. Trying to roll onto his side made him gasp for air, and a

This story continues to be epic. Rocking a story this hard should be illegal. Bravo!

Thank you :)

Little Spock and little Jim are the CUTEST THING EVER.

Love your characterization of Pike, Winona, and the whole of Enterprise crew from this timeline. Such a satisfying aftermath after an epic battle - I can't wait to see what happens next when Sarek shows up... I hope the little Spock and Jim get to keep their bond. ♥

Aftermaths can be really hard to write - not to mention awkward - so I'm glad you found it satisfying, that is what i'm aiming for

This story is utterly inspired. I love the fact the kid Spock has bonded kid Kirk, and now he's trying to figure out how to face the consequences without regretting it one bit. I totally want to be a fly on the wall for that discussion with his father, grins. I also adore the fact that kid Spock's devotion is making adult Spock all mushy

Thank you for your detailed review. Regarding the discussion between Spocket and Sarek over his 'predicament' I think he'll carry it off with aplomb, and since Vulcans have such a respect for friendship and the bonded pair, I doubt Sarek will make a fuss... I dunno, should he? lol

Huh, I like the idea of a Sarek who is grateful his son is alive, and magnanimous about the bond he formed to a boy who is his T'hyla, especially if the healer points it out 'the t'hyla thing,' grins. You're right Sarek in the movie is a lot more genteel, but he's still a bit of a berk because of the whole I 'married your mother because it was logical' he gave a very young, and vulnerable Spock, when he really needed 'I married your mother because I have great affection for her,' in other words, vulcan for 'I love her'. That was cowardly, and a bit manipulative. He gave the illusion of leaving the decision of what path to follow up to Spock, and then loaded the dice with every trick he had up his sleeve, sighs, not that that isn't what most parents do.. but well.. there is Tos Sarek, and his track record sucks

Amazing update, and now I want more please!
I really admire your ability to control pacing and your strong and clear character voices. Both are rare in fanfic, and they make your work an absolute delight and pleasure to read.
Thanks so much for writing.

Thank you. I am working on more updates.
There's plenty of good fics out there :) not necessarily in the action/adventure style though

[midasu]

I love this!!

I adore the parallels between baby, Prime, and reboot Spock and Kirk. No matter what the universe, Kirk and Spock matter to each other.

Thank you :) [and of course they do!]
