Oustanding! The final paragraph was perfect.

I'm so glad you liked that last paragraph! It took a million tries to get it right :)

Thank you - I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Kirk/Uhura is not a pairing I have ever cared for, but it did seem to make sense here. In the film, I think Uhura is much too mature to be attracted to a bad boy like Jim Kirk, but as a teenager who's never stepped out of line before, I think it makes sense.

YAY! I agree that the the last paragraph and "we are a crew" was perfect!! I love that you explored their inner emotions and reactions, and that their personalities and motivations were so nuanced.

“You think a princess and a guy like me...” LOL :-D love it!

A Breakfast Club AU was so necessary - you did a great job with this!

Thank you so much! I was really worried about characterization in this piece, so it means a lot to me that you liked it. And yay for gratuitous Star Wars references!

Late to the party on this one, but I quite enjoyed it! I was ready to smack Jim on several occasions, but I like how you made all of the characters sympathetic in the end. And poor Pike! Going from a starship to watching bored teenagers all day must've felt like quite a comedown. but I like how he considers them a crew of sorts, or a potential one. :-)
