"Oh, dammit, we’re not talking about Jim Kirk and Spock here - the perfect foils to each other." - Absolutely true. The hydrogen atom has nothing on them, lol.

Another great chapter. I'm glad Spock told Jim how he felt. Jim's response was pretty adorable. ^^

Haha, the hydrogen atom. I kinda kept laughing while I was writing that piece of dialogue. I wasn't sure if anyone was gonna pick that up, because I basically invented whatever science Spock was quoting in reference to it.

Glad you enjoyed. :)

!best description ever? 'unbearably fond'.... that's pretty much how i feel about this fic!

[laylafic]

Awwww, thank you so much! *smooches*

I'm so glad things are finally resolving themselves. A part of me wants to slap Winona for her unwelcomed interference, and part of me can see that she's just helping two stubborn men along.

The Vulcan kiss was sweet and I loved how Spock made sure Jim knew how intimate it was. And liked how they also finally spoke of their feelings. I feel sorry that Spock is having to wait on a decision by Jim. He's laid his heart out for Jim and Jim's given him very little back. I hope Jim comes to his senses so that things can really begin between them.

I'm pleased, too, that Jim and Winona are trying really hard to put the past behind them. There was so much tension and anxiety in the previous chapter, that wasn't there in this one.

So, on to the final part....

1:30am...tsk...

Yeah, I know --- once she started on her matchmaking streak, she just wouldn't stop! In my head, even. But she meant well, so that's all that matters.

Glad you liked the Vulcan kiss under the mistletoe. :)

Mmpf

gettin' kinda HOT up in here...ooh-la-la...love those analytical discussions that seem to be mandated just before making The Big Decision...but most of all I love the way you make note of the fact that they've already begun to bond, as a command team, that already there is a bud of real love between them...mmm...hokay, movin' right along here...

Re: Mmpf

[laylafic]

Hehe... I'm glad you found the discussions interesting, as the dialogue was the first thing to come to me. I wanted to focus on the genuine friendship these two had, so I'm happy that bond comes through!

I enjoyed the descriptions of the farm home (the ancestral one). It is hard to imagine what housing would be like 200 years from now (especially after First Contact). I liked that the "old" house had been updated, but was still vintage. I also liked the idea that a lot of the story took place over meals. There is something personal about sitting down and eating together that brings angst or positive emotions out.

The presents touched me and showed that they really did love each other.

The Clue Bus that Winona gave them made me smile....and you always write great sex!!

Thanks for the gift of the story.

Ahhh, it is so good to see a fellow QAF fan reading my Reboot fic. AND enjoying it. Thank you for your comments, they help me get the feel of which parts of the story impacted the reader the most. And I'm glad you enjoyed the sex. It was fun to write too. :)
