Star Trek Fic: "All That's Best of Dark and Bright" 1/1

May 31, 2009 21:35

It was only a matter of time, really...;)

A little introspective piece, trying out Spock’s POV and grappling with the whole Vulcan logic thing. Set ten days after the movie. Huge thanks to djarum99 for the beta and the logic!

Summary: There are eyes upon him, he can feel their curiosity; it is not hostile, but neither is it comfortable. To them, his ( Read more... )

Thanks so much! I'm really pleased you think I got Spock's voice - it was difficult to do! :)

I just joined this comm about five minutes ago, half afraid the fic would not live up to my hopes and expectations.

Then I read this.

He glances about the mess hall, notices the eyes studiously averted. They have watched, yet seen nothing; it is fascinating that humans, so proud of their emotional incontinence, should be blind to the profound emotions in their midst.

Perfect. Absolutely sublime. I'm going to like it here. :D

Welcome!

I'm so pleased you enjoyed this, I found Spock's voice quite challenging so I'm thrilled you think it worked. There will be more, no doubt. ;)

Very well-written! You nail Spock, in my opinion. I love the introspection!

Loved this line: But her chin tilts, her eyes flash, and he knows he has lost the point.

Hah! Whipped!!

Oh thank you! I'm so glad this worked.

lol - I adored the scene where Uhura forces him to assign her to the Enterprise, I think that must define their relationship. Whipped, indeed. :)

I'm thrilled you thought that the characterisation and dialogue worked - it's always a bit scary, writing in a new fandom! And Spock is quite a challenge!

The nature of Vulcan logic is quite fascinating ;). I wanted to work out a scenario that felt believable to me, which allowed them to control their feelings without repressing them (which would be psychologically damaging, IMO!). I owe a lot to djarum99 for her help with working it all out! I'm really pleased it sounded plausible to you!

I think there will be more S/U fic, perhaps a longer piece. I have some plot bunnies hopping around. :)

Thanks so much for the comment!

ETA: I adore your icon. Did you make it? Is it snaggable?
