I love, love, love, love the assortment of persecuted peoples at the Enterprise seder. I love, love, love, love how it feels very Jewish and very universal all at once - all G-d's childrens sitting around, drinking wine, and celebrating the fact that they escaped their oppressors.
I really, really want to see it in more detail - by which I mean heartbreaking detail, including Gaila, Spock, Chekov, Kirk, and others reciting the details of their people's persecution at that one point in the ceremony when that sort of thing happens. And group singing. And Jo getting all fierce. And everyone remembering that there was sadness for Egyptian deaths too. And such.
It's Lent, it's almost Passover, almost Rising From The Underworld Ostara, and almost Easter. I haz the passionate melancholy, and this installment is just right for it.

thank you so much, darlin'. I can see it in my head in very fine detail, but I think I will leave it there so that each person can fill in the gaps with their own imagination. ::love::

YAY! An update! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you uploading a new chapter to this awesomeness series. I really love the idea of the Enterprise having a seder. I love the fact that it let all of the crew come together and bond. I love the fact that Jim and Spock are starting to form their epic friendship as well.

Also Jim and Sam's brotherly banter made me smile! Pornstache! Pregnant Kirk! LotR reference! I love it and it's really how my two younger brothers act all the time.

Also mentions of Jo's awesomesauce are always appreciated. :D She would have the Enterprise wrapped around her fingers.

But really well done. I look forward to the next installment.

Thank you so much! I have a younger sibling myself and I am one, too, so it was kinda fun to write from both perspectives.

PS

Leonard Nimoy read that in my head. That was cool.

PSS

What does that mean?

[jessofthebugs]

Actually, I emailed him and he wrote that part for me.
(not really)

It means... I did a good job?
