Whoa. This is an awesome, intriguing look at Gaila's past and her motives.

(And now I kind of want an AU where she chooses the Klingons and works her way to the top of the Empire.)

[igrockspock]

You know, there's nothing that says she didn't choose the Klingons first. Maybe she lived that lifestyle for awhile, saw that she didn't want to live in a world so ruthless, and made another escape. I kind of want to write that story now...

[thistlerose]

You should write it!

(I admit, I have something of a weak spot for Klingons. I think they're lots of fun. Though not to live with, perhaps.)

[igrockspock]

I would definitely need to rewatch some TNG to reacquaint myself with Klingon culture, but I remember some really good episodes, so that would be no hardship.

I kind of need to read that. *emails you chocolate*

[igrockspock]

If only virtual chocolate tasted as delicious as real chocolate...

I wrote some chunks of dialogue. We'll see if it goes anywhere.
