Oh, I love this. Both One and Spock are so very believable, and I really like how you depict One's sensitivity, and how she relates to Spock.

Thank you! I'd forgotten how much I love writing Spock, but also how nerve racking it is to write him - I'm so glad he came off as believable!

I was not expecting something so spare and profound and sad from my random little prompt, but I am totally not surprised at something so wise and precise from Number One and from you.

*hugs you gratefully*

Really, I lucked out with the intersection of Number One and Spock in your prompts. This easily could have been about, say, Number One and Jack Harkness, and then I just would have had to write something silly. I'm so glad you liked it!

This is lovely. You did a really good job of showing Spock's and One's compassion, while keeping them in character.

*phew* I love writing Spock, but he always makes me so nervous. I'm glad it came off as in character!

Beautifully done.

[igrockspock]

Thank you!

Ohhhhhh! Lovely. Your last line was perfect.

Thank you! I'm so happy I finally got to use it in a story - it is so eloquent and compassionate!
