What a brilliant idea for a story. I like that you made Q take female form in this. I was very impressed with you science. I too know next to nothing about quantum physics, but you could have fooled me.

I'm not really sure myself if it's the same Q or a different one. Maybe they all go pester starship captains when they're bored.

I think I'm learning that the secret of bad!science in sci fi is to *mumble* *mumble* *bad technobabble* HEY LOOK OVER THERE!

This was absolutely lovely, a fun read and really original. It also was awesome to see Q again! And female this time!

Thank you so very much! I don't know why it's more fun to give Kirk female tormenters, but it is (this was also true of TOS!Kirk for me, BTW).

I am... more than a little bit impressed. I really, really love what you did with this and how you took a kind of quirky prompt and made it something to sink our teeth into. I love your utilization of Q and I really adored the relationship between Jim and Bones, how they both felt better just being together, their intimacy, and trust... it was amazingly well done.

You're very kind! This one was a real struggle, because it ended up being very plotty and episodey, and I don't feel like I had time to do it justice, but I'm so glad it worked for you anyway!

A wonderful story. The science was fascinating, the crew camaraderie was great, Jim and Bones were adorable and there were brilliant lines sprinkled all the way through. Great fun to read.

The thing about David kind of popped into my head; it's sometimes the case when people follow their parents into a profession that there's some pressure or domination going on there. Hmm. Thank you so much for the kind words!
