Awwwwwww, I'm so glad about the development. Lovely ending of a lovely story.

"Everything else." Why was it so hard to say the word 'disability'? Chris put his hands on the table instead of in his lap and relaxed enough to let the omnipresent fine tremor show.

"Oh," McCoy said, a rueful look on his face as his gaze dropped to Chris's hands. He raised his eyes back to Chris's and said, "You really think that was going to matter to me?"

This moment really stick to me, for the straight way McCoy is handling this, and as a start of a whole lot other scenes where McCoy is just fabulous in dealing with Chris' various aspects of the aftermath.

It's no secret that I love post-Narada Chris, and this a beautiful story about it :) Thank you so much ♥

Thanks! I hate to be self-laudatory but I actually really liked those lines, and I'm glad you did, too.

What a wonderful story! I really love how beautifully you worked both the physical and psychological struggles with the perfect sprinkling of giggles.

I don't think I ever appropriately flailed over this. Please rest assured that even though this is my third time reading it, I AM FLAILING ALL OVER THE PLACE. Your characterizations are gorgeous, and I love how you were able to evoke such strong emotions without hitting us over the head with them.

Also, little things like this:
"It's pretty simple. I figure out what the asshole response would be, since it's usually my first instinct, and then don't do that."
made my night. <333

I don't think my art came close to living up to this amazing story, but I'm so glad to have gotten the chance to try! *hug*

Your art was awesome! Don't sell yourself short. And I will take flailing at any point in time. So glad you enjoyed it, and that it wasn't a trial for you having to read it, um, well, three times now. :-D

Yay for more Christopher! ::high fives you::

I like your take on the post-Narada world, and I loved seeing how our stories intersected and diverged, each of us taking off on different angles but so many times coming back to touch at the same points.

I grieved for your Pike--so damaged but still going, and I was very glad he had a support system around him, and while I never doubted that McCoy would rise to the occasion, it was still a great relief when he did just that. And I loved Joanna's reaction. :D

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my story, hopefully as much as I enjoyed yours.

I wish I'd had more room for Joanna in the story but alas, she merely got a cameo.

That was brilliant! I loved how Chris' recovery was treated completely seriously but there were still geniunely laugh out loud moments in there. Absolutely wonderful throughout.

Thanks so much! I'm not going to say I'm incapable of writing pure angst, but, well, I almost am. :)
