*is dead* It's so perfect bb! Jim alone but hopeful and afraid to have hope. Everyone pissed and scrambling to save him. Private conversations, and so much love. *basks in warm fuzzyness*

[linelenagain]

Thanks bb!! Omg I almost, almost want to write more of this JUST so I can watch Jim get chewed out by Spock, who would be super extra pissy and logical in the most awesome way.

I AM WARY OF THE VULCAN SILENT TREATMENT!

That would be another sequel, unless you plan on naming it an addendum, and would therefore violate your vow. However....DO EET.

Augh, this is such a great sequel.

[linelenagain]

Thanks bb! <3

YOU.

GAH.

*is squeeing*

Yeah, I love you, you empty-headed mouth-breather.

This line is so perfect! Totally describes their relationship. Lovely fic, bb. Great job.

[linelenagain]

I totally agree, that line pretty much sums the whole thing up. ;)

Thank you for the comment, bb! <3

"Because you're mine now, and you're going to have to learn to take better care of my things."

*sigh* I don't even...I love that line so very, very much. The imagery is gorgeous, too...the snow, and Bones' eyes the spring thaw. I love angst, but I love sweet, hopeful endings more.

(My icon is so not directed at you btw, cause I kinda of love your for this. But I think it's appropriate to sum up how both Spock and Bones were feeling when they got back after Jim pulled that stunt, hee. Jim Kirk would be impossible to hate, but really hard to like sometimes, I think.)

Thank you, bb, and I love your icon! I'm almost tempted to write a little more for this story just so I can watch Spock ream Jim out with a cool and logical precision.

Thank you for the comment!!

I am hella wibbling over here, I'll have you know! So cute at the end- I'm glad I was able to read them in a row, I think the first one would have made me wibble so hard you could have seen it from space.

I loved the ending! So sweet, but still believable. Well done!

[linelenagain]

Aww, thank you bb!! I don't mean to make you wibble (overmuch!). And I'm totally with you - I hate to be left hanging.

Thanks again. <3
