Yay you indeed...

This was lovely and a perfect mix of Austen and Trek. Inspired to cast Kirk as Lady Russell.

Thank you so much! I had a tough job making Frederick logical-- he's so passionate! But I really enjoyed putting Kirk up to this role. I also quite liked Sulu and Chekov as Charles and Mary Musgrove. One must giggle a little, I think. Cheers!

Fantastic! You have made my entire day with this effortless blend of Austen and Trek. Well done.

effortless ...wipes beads of blood off forehead.

Thank you! It was fun. :)

Oh, I love this so, so much. Uhura's particularly lovely, as is Spock, and everyone in the background fits in seamlessly. It's been ages since I read Persuasion, so I don't truly remember all the background characters much at all, but this felt very Austenesque. Thank you!

Wow, Austenesque. I love you, BoSorrow! Thank you for the wonderful comment.

I haven't read Persuasion, but this was delightful nonetheless.

I'm glad you could enjoy it on its own. Some of the language is (deliberately) antiquated. Thanks for reading!
