Genius! Especially the inspiring series of Starfleet books for kids ...

Your insight into Nyota's particular intelligence and turning over the mysteries of the AU is brilliant.

I loved Uhura's fluency in 8 languages at the end, followed by her crappy pronunciation of Andorian!

I, too, loved "reading the dictionary is fun!" b/c it is STILL fun for me.

[Just give me a dictionary and I can stay busy for hours]

ITA about the dictionary--still fun! Also the thesaurus.

Thank you for your nice comments! I'm glad you found the story enjoyable.

I very nearly had tears in my eyes as I read this.

Beautiful and I loved how you developed Nyota from her childhood and her progression with desires to learn about space, languages, unraveling mysteries, and finally her wish to reach out and grab her destiny.

I wish I had stumbled onto this sooner. Lovely.

Thank you so much for you nice feedback! I'm really pleased you enjoyed this part--little Nyota was very fun to think and write about.

I wish I had stumbled onto this sooner.

I only posted it Friday, so it wasn't a long delay. :) Probably an eternity in LJ time, though.

Thanks for reading, and taking the time to comment!

Yay! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Thanks so much for your comments. Coming up with backstory for Nyota and thinking about the implications of the alternate reality were two of my favorite things about writing the story, so I'm glad you found them interesting!
