Oh my gosh, this is the sweetest thing I have ever read! You have no idea how hard I'm grinning right now and the silly squeaking noises I've been making and the stupid clapping and giggling I've been doing for the last five minutes. Oh, goodness. My face hurts from smiling so big. I love this!!!! It's the most adorable thing ever.

Bad-ass warrior Hikaru with her well-fitted boots, fantastic breasts, and ability to torch hordes of Klingons to save her girl and who is still a total softie at heart. AWWW!!! I adore her so much. And Polina, all nervous about her dress, her waif-like body, how Hikaru is so entranced by her, her wanting a mathematical formula to figure out social niceties. (Oh, Polina, honey-- so true)

And that unplanned proposal and Hikaru getting all flustered and Polina being all bossy and the bit about her brothers and the vodka and Hikaru's shriek. *grins like crazy*

Oh yeah, Hikaru! Hat trick, indeed. *grins so hard her face falls off* *is so in love with Hikaru Sulu that it's not even funny*

Hee! Kirk was totally right, even if he didn't know he was going to be right XDDD I don't know if he went back and teased Hikaru afterwards or vice versa about the hat trick comment! I really like the idea that Hikaru is weak for nobody but totally helpless for Polina, and Polina's slightly nerdily oblivious about it. Also, I love it when Chekov/a (in either gender!) gets bossy so I totally could not resist that. This fic was pretty fun to write, I have to admit.

Thank you so much and I am really really glad you liked it :) Happy New Year bb!

This is made of gorgeousness. It's perfectly them, and they are wonderfully female and utterly the Chekov and Sulu we know, all at the same time. After all, who could turn down the opportunity to write a line like “It’s not as if Jim’s tits are anywhere as nice as yours.” into Chekov's adorable mouth?

“Oh.” Polina falls into a pout, deeply unready for the looming prospect of professional separation, the inevitable bane of Starfleet couples everywhere.

Oh, bambini. I have been thinking about this for them, and...

Hikaru's eyes flash. “Maybe I’m also thinking I want us to get married, okay?"

i firmly believe every H. Sulu in the multiverse who proposed to a P. Chekov did it in just this way.

“Furthermore, I expect you to commit seriously to learning how to hold your drink, because my brothers certainly will not allow you to escape the wedding party before consuming the proper amount of vodka-”

and that every single P. Chekov, thus proposed to, responded in precisely this manner.

*cheers delightedly for this lovely story*

D'awwwww, thank you so much! Wow! Yay for epic marriage proposals XD I like the idea that maybe they are both deeply romantic but also kind of clumsy/bad at being overtly romantic, if that makes sense.

After all, who could turn down the opportunity to write a line like “It’s not as if Jim’s tits are anywhere as nice as yours.” into Chekov's adorable mouth?

Hahaha, NOT ME. I don't know what this says about me but boobies!fetish!Chekova almost became my favorite part of writing this.

EEEEEHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best treat ever! genderbend!chulu on new years! eeeehhhhh!!!!

I ADORE girl!Hikaru soo much! How badass and hot she is and her complete devotion to Polina! And adorable Poli who is all nervous but determined and will bully her girlfriend into learning to drink OMG!

I just.. aaahhh I love it so muuuuch!!! Also Kirk checking out ALL THE DATES~ ahahaha

I have no coherence right now. This was SOO LOVELY! <3<3<3<3

Yaaaaaaaay!!! I am really glad Kirk was OK. It's a fine line between lulzy!perv!Kirk and creepster!Kirk and I was not 100% sure which side I was on, lol.

They are both so much fun to imagine as women :) I love that maybe Hikaru is softer than she seems and Polina's kind of the opposite (and I think Hikaru secretly totally loves it when Polina's bossy streak comes out XD).

Thank you for reading and commenting!

aww, this is really wonderful. i very rarely read chulu, but i read the ballet one you posted the other day, and loved it, and so i clicked this one too.
very nice; sweet without being cloying, hot without being OTT.

well done!

[mercaque]

Wow, thank you so much. I am really glad you liked both stories, pairing and all. It's funny because I feel like my tastes actually run sort of dark/angsty but then I end up writing stories like this. lol.
