Oh it was FABULOUS!! I absolutely loved it!

Wonderful storyline, and excellent working-in of Kirk's past. Loved Spock and Uhura in a way I didn't expect to, and really had fun with the gen nature of it all.

Absolutely adored everyone, especially Bones, and again - great plotty, fun storyline with lots of fun extras, like Saavik. Wonderful!


Thank you for this. It absolutely made my afternoon.

*grin* I'm so glad you liked it! There was so much pairingfic already in the fandom when I started this, I really wanted something episodic and team-y in nature. And as I happened to be rereading The Pandora Principle when I started writing, the storyline just wrote itself. =)
