Oh, this is lovely! Everyone was perfectly in-characters and the OCs were interesting. Great job, thanks for sharing!

Oh, God, this was amazing. You write Jim with so much heart and the plot was kind of brilliant and I never wanted it to end. Awesome, awesome job.

Oh, Jim. I just want to hug him. He's really matured from the movies and it's great he & his mother started to work on their relationship. It felt a bit wrong not to have them there so I really liked having the three boys together and the end. And I love I don't mean to offend you, sir, but it seems like serving on the Enterprise takes a particular brand of crazy.... LOL.

Oh my God, I loved this so much.

My home internet isn't working, so I've been reading this in a coffee shop, trying desperately to keep the grinning and hand-flappy joy to a minimum, but I completely lost it at Bravery in the Face of Large Reptiles. Oh my GOD. (And the Jonathan Coulton reference! And women's lacrosse! AND JEFFRIES TUBES! Okay, I'll stop.)

I love the way you wrote Jim here -- he's just the right mix of growing into himself and causing trouble and being smarter than anyone gives him credit for. And I love, love, love the last scene with Kirk, Spock, and Bones, because -- well, because it's A Carefully Non-Denominational Holiday, and it wouldn't be if those three weren't together.

Thank you so much for writing this. I absolutely loved it.

Absolutely fantastic. Good characterization and well-plotted. I loved this.
