I admit, I was worried when I started this that it might be too sweet. And that, it was not! You beautifully wove together the language of fairy tales with Jim's awful possible backstory and made it seem very in character for both McCoy and Kirk. This was a great piece of writing!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the voices to be in-character, and that you enjoyed the piece. :)

This one was my favorite, so heart-breaking and beautiful. I love fics where Jim has this deep insecurity and then how Bones gets him to see otherwise with his own improvisation to the story.

Aww, thank you, bb. It really means a lot to me that you liked it so much! <3

I like the angle here a lot. Creative. :D

Thank you! :)

this was so cute! I love this like burning, OMG.

I read it out loud to...sadly enough my cat, after I read it the first time. She enjoyed it too. Sat on my lap the entire time purring.

But this is definitely good. I love the last part. The sadness spell and the wicked witch! Ah, I'm in love with this, bb!

Thank you!! I'm really glad you liked it. :) If you enjoy it read aloud, pixelmayhem has promised me a podfic soon!

This is simply beautiful. It is quite easily my new favorite ST fic. I love how easily you tied in Jim's fairy tale with their relationship without it getting too cheesy or mushy. This is a great, great piece of writing.

Thank you!! That is high praise indeed, and I'm really touched and happy that you liked it so much. <3
