Wow. This was beautiful. So very different. I like it! Are you considering a sequel?

What gorgeous praise ♥

I hadn't, actually, no; I guess I wanted to resolve things to the point they were at when the movie finished, which gave me a lot of scope to work with, but as for what happens next, I have no idea. In the same sort of style as the Reboot, I'd like to think some form of ToS comes into play.

You read this phenomenally fast :) well done and thank you!

I'm a fast reader :) And I was just sitting there bored until my RSS feed picked this up, so of course I read it right away *g*

That was great! Awesome job of getting everyone to where they needed to be without it feeling forced or fakey. And Jim still ends up in Starfleet! Cool.

Yeah, stopping it feeling forced but including everyone was tough. (At one point, neither Spock nor Spock Prime was in it, and my beta went "... yeah, you kind of need them in there somewhere".)

Thanks for reading.

Wow, I think I'm in love. I really am.

This is awesome and I'm glad Jim is going to Starfleet. It's weird but it seems to be where he should be.

When I read the summary I thought this meant that it was going to lead up to the destruction of Earth and Jim wouldn't survive but PHEW! And man, it's just so upsetting because I was hoping to God that either Joanna wasn't in this universe or something because Bones didn't seem that freaked (and then you answered the question in the second chapter so I could breathe again).

And... I really have a huuuuuuuuge long reply to this because this fic deserves it (it's just THAT awesome)... but my assignment is sort of already late and only half-written and I kind of need to complete it. But I'm definitely bookmarking this. :D

skjfhfg! What an awesome thing to say :D

I was so, so tempted to have an unhappy ending. (I've not written a character-death wangst in years.) But then it got all schmoopy and out of hand on me, so. A friend of mine also doing an apocalypse fic actually did kill off Bones' family, and now I feel like I pussied out keeping them alive, but I think it would've all been too much to do that, lol.

DON'T WORRY. I cockblocked so much of my studies to write the damn thing! Thank you for procrastinating to read this freaking beast, and thank you for leaving such an awesome comment anyways :D ♥

I really enjoyed this-it's a great what-if, and it was fun to see all the various supporting characters pop up in different ways. Thanks for the engrossing read!
