And you signed up for the Remix challenge? I'm so teeeempted to sign up, 'cause MU is a freaking addiction, I swear, but I'm having so many problems writing my own fics that I don't know if I could redo someone else's.

Thank you!

I did sign up for the remix challenge. I've never done one before. It does seem like it could be difficult, but I guess if you're creative about the different ways to remix, you'd be able to come up with something.

You should give it a try!

He didn’t go to all the trouble of paralyzing Pike for nothing

Thanks! So pleased you liked it.

I think my favorite part of this was the banter between Spock and McCoy at the beginning, and the underlying suggestion that they both resent and need each other. This is also an interesting take on M!McCoy. I've seen him written as a psychopath and as the lone decent man, but I've never seen him playing at being a decent man for the purpose of tricking Kirk. Kudos.

Aw, thanks! The banter was my favorite, too, in this and the original. If Kirk/McCoy we're my total OTP, I'd definitely try my hand at Spock/McCoy.

This fic was so well timed, I can't tell you! I'm pissed off as hell cos of stuff going on in British politics, but, when I saw you'd posted, I smiled for the first time in hours - and you made everything better!

This was utterly brilliant and my jaws ache from grinning all the way through.

The conversation between Spock and McCoy at the beginning was fucking brilliant and your Spock voice had me giggling. I loved this exchange in particular:

“It would hardly be in my interest to construct a strategy based on falsehoods,” Spock notes. “And this conversation would proceed more quickly were you to curb your habitual use of redundant human idioms.”

McCoy rolls his eyes. “This conversation would proceed more quickly if you’d stop using three times as many words as you need to make your goddamn point, but you don’t see me holding my breath, now do you?” - lol

And I absolutely adored how McCoy physically controlled his emotions. I love stuff like that and he so would! And his working through what he was going to do was so wittily ( ... )

Thanks!

I'm so glad this came at the right moment for you, bb! You deserve to smile.

After sitting through a painful logic class last year, I couldn't resist a few logic jokes...

I am definitely considering a sequel.
