Fic: Epistrophe sta asteria (14/14)

[imagined_haven]

The last part! Thanks for reading, as well as to the awesome people behind this!

ETA: Since it was pointed out to me that I never said, the title of this fic is a transliteration of "return to the stars" in Greek, according to the wonder that is Google Translate. Back to your enjoyment now that I've pointed that out!

I liked your characterization of always a girl!McCoy and I also really liked the description of the planet.

Was wondering what epistrophe sta asteria means?

I'd leave a longer comment but I'm running late so I'll just say that I enjoyed the story!

Thanks for pointing out what my fried brain forgot to include! "Epistrophe sta asteria", as I'll be adding to the notes, is a transliteration of the Greek for "return to the stars." Or so Google Translate tells me, anyway :)

Thanks for reading and enjoying!

I loved the flashbacks :) great fic !

I didn't even notice that the title was Greek even though I'm in the middle of teaching myself Greek

(I may be wrong but when I used my google translator app I got epistrofí̱ sta ástra )

Thank you for reading!

Ah, the flashbacks. As soon as I started writing I knew I wanted to tell that part of the story in flashback form, in bits and pieces. Glad it worked!

Hm. It gave me "asteria" the first time. Now it's giving me the same as yours, although when I just type in "stars" it still comes up with "asteria". As for "epistrophe/epistrofi", some of that was my preference in transliteration. Instead of the "f" I used "ph" because it was the Greek letter "phi" being transliterated, and the two produce the same sound. Likewise, I followed with the ending "e" because that's something I've seen commonly done before, especially with names (e.g. Persephone, Antigone). Again, same sound, different letter representing it.

Very enjoyable read. Made the time spent waiting during the kids' piano lessons pass very quickly.

Lovely!
