Oh my goodness...
This is so beautiful. I seriously teared up and then let out a little sob at the end there. Perfect end line.
Honestly like the way you described Chekov's feelings on love and relationships is basically how I feel so it was really nice to read about someone changing his feelings on the subject while keeping it realistic.
Thank you. I adored this ♥

Thank you! I wanted it to be ~dramatic~ but realistic, too -- those are usually my fav kinds of stories to both read and write. :)

That was a beautiful story! I really like Chekov's POV here and how Sulu gets him to change. <3

Thanks so much!

I was just craving a story like this so intensely yesterday - thank you for writing this, it's amazingly satisfying! I love this Chekov so much, and the moment when he realizes what he's done and runs to Sulu just aches so wonderfully. ;__;

Yes that was the MOMENT OF CULMINATION in my mind. ;_; Thanks for reading ♥

God, Pavel's childhood made me so sad. I love the image of Hikaru hugging him every night to make up for what he lacked from his parents.

[fairhearing]

Yes, a lifetime of making up for it, which I think is a situation they're both happy with. ;)

This was lovely, and such an unexpected take on Chekov. But I could see it, completely, and you wrote it beautifully. Wonderful characterizations, and gorgeous writing, just a lovely treat!
