This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you!

Lovely. This brilliantly describes how far outside Vulcan norms he is "There is no word in his language for a woman one makes love to who is not one's wife."

Good job. You captured (even from amanda's POV) how groundbreaking this was for him and her. S/U have nothing on how hard Sa/Am had it.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. If you haven't read igrockspock's Sarek/Amanda story, I highly recommend it, also. It was her thinking about Sarek's attitude toward what he was doing with Amanda and how it conflicted with his people's traditions that stirred me up and made me write this.

I appreciate you reading and commenting, thank you!

[anodyna]

Oh! ::happy fangirly sigh:: The more I read about these two, the more I feel astonished imagining how much they had to accomplish to get together. It's just so beautiful and awesome and just...AAAAHHHH I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M LOVING A CANON COUPLE THIS MUCH LOL. :D

[anodyna]

Hee! Thank you so much. Making someone love a canon couple does seem to be a an achievement in our fandom! :D (Although I'm a determined pusher of Spock Prime/Gaila so I have my non-canon pairing, too, hah.) I'm so glad you found the story and that you enjoyed it. I haven't written Sarek and Amanda before but the where_no_woman drabblefest is making me do new things. Thank you for reading and commenting!

[awfsome]

so, so amazing! I'm adding this to my favs!

[anodyna]

That's a great compliment, thank you so much! I'm delighted you enjoyed it. :)

Fuck. This is just so gorgeous. I could do that thing where I quote bits of it that I loved back at you but I loved every word. I know you well enough to know that you edited the shit out of this too, so every word here was likely fiercely fought for. And appropriately appreciated, by me.

Seriously though; beautiful. Beautiful. I would love to read more of what you've created here, should you wish to open up this world a bit more.

Vulcans! Why do they gotta be so hot?!

Vulcans! Why do they gotta be so hot?!

Holy gah, I KNOW RIGHT?

Thanks so much--I'm so glad you found this so enjoyable. I don't know what's happening to me but this spilled out over a day. Maybe the secret is not having porn in it, to activate my self-doubt and slow me down. Or maybe the drabblefest is just magic, IDK!

I will quote to you the line I fought hardest for, WHICH IS TOTALLY INDULGENT OF ME, HAH! Because in a story that mostly just appeared like a magical product of some voice in my brain, there was an image in my mind that was so hard to craft into a sentence, and when it finally came together it was like, *chorus of angelic voices*!

She sees him, suddenly, not in his dignity and privilege, but as a man, solitary, whose life is described by boundaries that bear no more relationship to the real shape of his being than a compass circle drawn on a map describes a country.

Here endeth the most self-indulgent comment response ever, lalala! :D

[soixante_quinze]

OMG SO TOTALLY INDULGENT. J/K! Hahahaha but that is totes cool, because that was one of my favourites too!

More of this? I hope. :D
