oh just wonderful, i'm sure i spammed you a little too much with my comments on previous chapters but really i couldn't help myself this was just that good. I'm grinning from ear to ear thanks to you! and let me just say, i'm sure it was tempting to end it with their decision to keep the bond as many romantic stories do, but your followthrough on the plot was so very satisfying that i'm glad you brought it to its full conclusion.
This isn't just a romance, never was. So no, it wasn't tempting to end with the discussion of the bond. This needed to go through to Delgasian IV or it wasn't a full story. I never intended anything different. I wish I'd gotten some more of the other crewmembers on screen more, but my main goal was a multi level story with a romance through the middle. Now if I could sort out the other levels to go with the romantic difficulties, I'd write the sequel rattling around my mind. But as yet it's too flat. Just a relationship piece. Sure there's a space anomaly that causes problems, but what's the rest of the plot?
Ok, I'm babbling and it's my turn to spam. Sorry. And don't be sorry about the comments. I like hearing how different parts impact a reader. You made my night.
Well- I really liked the beginning, and the slowly building tension between Jim and Spock. I also found your non apologetic execution of the premise very refreshing :-P. However… I had… few difficulties with your portrayal of Uhura- especially your own (or better say- the hidden narrator's) reaction to Uhura's choices and therefore the way you chose to portray both Jim and Spock's reaction to her refusal

Thank you for your insight. I can't say any of that was what I intended to include, but the collapse of the relationship between Spock and Uhura was one of the things I struggled with most in this story. It's too late to fix it here. I hope that if I write a sequel that I will be able to tidy up the loose ends.
I absolutely loved your story. Wing!kink is a very guilty pleasure of mine. There never is enough. I enjoyed your portrayal of all your character especially Sarek and Selek

Thank you for your kind words. I admit I struggled how to best present Uhura and dissolve her relationship with Spock. I was aiming more for your reaction than that of the comment above, but everyone sees things differently. Maybe I'll be able to clean things up in a sequel. Maybe not.
I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I'm rather proud of it over all.
I am going to leave this comment because I believe everyone has a right to an opinion. However, if anyone's feeling the urge to respond, Just Don't. I've no desire to start a flame war because I didn't make a few things clear enough.
I could counter this, argue each point. But I'm not going to. It's not worth it. Either I got across what I wanted to get across or I didn't. What you are saying is not what I wanted to say at all, but I guess I screwed up. I'll be more careful next time.
I snuck a look at the (absolutely amazing) accompanying art before reading and was a bit "Not sure how this will live up to that beautiful artwork" but it absolutely did. This is a really gorgeous story.
