I loved this to pieces!

I'm a bit nerdy about space, not like I know a lot but I love watching documentaries about it. And J2 in space? Even better!

I loved their dorky little Q&A and the way they were in each other's space. I read this in one go, unable to stop. Really, such a gem and I'm sure I'll read it again in the future.

I must also comment on the obvious research done, so well written and believable. Just the thought of those first seconds of a spacewalk...amazing.

So, to sum it up: all the love!

Thank you very much! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it :D
I watched so. many. documentaries for research purposes, I couldn't even stop myself after I basically knew everything I needed to for the story... it's so fascinating and amazing!

Thanks for reading & commenting, it means a lot!

Oh my word, this was amazing. There was so much detail that had me totally believing in this Jensen and Jared and their space mission, it felt so real. Then there was the relationship, so much sexual tension and the cruel, cruel, moment in the airlock and the morning after. The emails were perfect and angsty and of course a dose of HEA to complete it all. Thanks for an out-of this-world journey :)

Heeey you ;)
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! And I'm glad it was believable (since I don't have any first-hand experience and all that...). I had a lot of fun writing this, so it's great that it worked out so well for you!

Thank you very much <3

Dear Namichan,

You ROCK.

Nerdily yours,
A Fellow NASA-nut :)

Seriously, this was amazing, brilliant, wonderful AND fantastic!! Girl, you surely did your research, as the technical details were spot-on, from the names of the ISS modules, to the Russian rocket and capsule types, to the astronauts' dining and toiletry methods -- go, you! The "feel" of being up there was perfect. Space jargon, yes, me likey! Beautiful, angsty love story, me likey! Plus Kevin, spunky (if heartbroken) Danneel, wise!Misha, and snarky!Mark were also fabulous. Brilliant shout-out to Gravity, too.

. . . and best of all? J2-in-SPAAAAAACE. ♥

Well-played, my dear, well-played!

Well, thank you very much for such a lovely review!! I'm happy that you liked it so much and that you found the details so enticing :D

Fun fact: when I was a little kid, I had a kind-of encyclopedia for kids, and I basically knew the space part of it by heart and would tell any adult who didn't want to hear it about the Mariner missions to Venus and about the MIR... so you could say I always was kind of a space nut :D

And you can imagine that when this wonderful prompt came around I had to pick it up! :) I'm glad it worked so well for you!
