This was completely wonderful. The characterization was truly spectacular, particularly in regards to Winona and Jim's relationship. I thought it immensely well portrayed. Their hesitance, their not knowing how to talk to one another, Winona's guilt and Jim's pain never far from the surface; I think you nailed what it would be like for two people, mother and son, in that type of situation.

Spock was just love. I love how supportive he was of Jim, and how protective, the scene where he asked Winona if she was aware that Jim was abused as a child gave me chills, but made me fall more enamored with Spock than ever before (which is a feat and a half, because I already adored the guy to pieces going in ;-)).

The ending was great. I loved Jim's reaction. How smitten he was with the idea of a relationship with Spock, and how tickled he was that Spock fell for him, how he was convinced that Spock was perfect in everything... exhibiting all the signs of one extremely enamored Captain. It was beyond cute.

Thank you for this! :-)

Thank you so much for reading. I'm thrilled you found the characterizations believable. I enjoyed writing the mother-son dynamics, but I wasn't sure how realistic it would come out to be, so I'm relieved that it works for you.

And Spock is absolutely my bb, so I'm glad you liked how he was portrayed. I adore him too! :)

Heh, I wanted to show through Jim's eyes how spectacular Spock is. He was totally smitten for sure.

Thank YOU!

How come two geniuses couldn't figure out to leave early so they could get their nooky early? Leave it to Winona to give them both the nudge they needed!

There were so many lovely moments in this story - you really did a great job of painting a vivid picture with your descriptions and narrative style. The sex at the end was a welcome relief to all the UST that had been flying about! And it was hot, hot hot!

This was a wonderful story, really enjoyable, with great characterisations and a really interesting plot, from a psychological point of view. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for this brilliant contribution to the advent calendar.

And it's 2:35 - time for bed!

Heh. They really are very smart, aren't they? Yes, they are! I'm so glad you liked the writing. Writing the sex scene was proving to be very difficult, as I wanted to rush through the whole process to the orgasm. I mean, not only Jim and Spock had waited, but I'd waited too. Writing UST is hard for us too, you know.

Thank you for reading this and commenting on each part. I appreciate it very much! :)
