This is absolutely darling. Totally not what I was expecting and an utterly endearing surprise. Bitty Hikaru who doesn't speak after the trauma of losing his dad breaks my soul into tiny pieces and I want to cuddle him forever and ever. Kirk is absolutely wonderful here. Pavel is darling. I adore Panda class and all the teachers. And Hikaru's sweet explanations of what words like pedestrian and troubled mean were sooooooo adorable. Just loved this. Plus, I loooooved Galaxy Quest, so this is just extra darling. Hehe, and loved how you worked in the Kirk/Spock v. Spock/Uhura argument here. Niiiice! Great graphics too!

Thank you so much DDD: The kid definitions of bigger words was something I picked up from Junie B. Jones, I'm so glad to hear that they worked for you, too :3 :3 AND I'm happy that the cast ~resonated~ with you, AND, haha, writing this was great as it gave me a lot of excuses to rewatch GQ ;))

I love love the detail that you put into the forum sections, like making "tactic" lowercase because they had to look it up and paste it ;__________; and the story portions are so heart wrenching, especially when he can't bring himself to talk in class, and how crushed he is over being banned. The choice of making him not speak was so smart, and works so perfectly with Pavel's anxiety about his English. When they make the BEST FRIENDS account it's such a huge and important victory, aosijdfodj it has a big impact the first time that adorable graphic appears. :DD All the background characters were great, too - McCoy, Nyota, JIM. ;___; I love the image of them in their fort with their popcorn.

I HAD A HUGE SMILE on my face the whole time I read this. :33
