This was wonderful fun to read, and an interesting take on how Sarek and Amanda met, and how they regarded each other very early on. And the humor is wonderful, very much in context and in character.

thank you so much!

YAYS! I am a complete sucker for "Let's get you out of those wet clothes". And you've done an extraordinary job of nailing Sarek and Amanda, and interspecies relationships. Brava!

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! I was really a little afraid of that cliche situation, but I'm relieved that it worked for you. I wanted to do a good job to repay you for all your lovely Pike/Number One fic :)

I love this fic. Love it. Amanda/Sarek is my favorite het pairing and you gave me, like, everything I wanted in a fic with them. I love Sarek's POV, his perspective on human culture, the way he comes to regard Amanda. Amanda in his eyes just shines, such a strong and vibrant personality. Love, love, love this.

Thank you so much! This was my first attempt at writing a full-length story for them, so I'm really pleased that it worked for an experienced reader of the pairing :)

Love this, particularly Sarek's voice and Amanda's characterization - very feisty and very in character. Well done!

[igrockspock]

I'm so glad you thought the characterization worked - it's a totally new pairing for me :)

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TROPES combined with delicious, delicious Sarek/Amanda, framed here flawlessly as they are? It's like Christmas. OH WAIT.

Thank you! I have never tried that particular trope before, so I'm really relieved you thought it worked!
