Lovely story.

Thank you, jespah

A nice, interesting tale. I must admit, as someone who hasn't followed your fanfic universe, it was a little difficult to truly comprehend the conflict the main character feels. Still, I got the idea eventually. It's nice to see her father--now a grandfather--learn to look past his prejudice. (In a way, he reminds me of Clint Eastwood's character in Gran Torino.)

Very good!

I worried that it might not be clear to those who didn't read the story with the events to which they return here, but I also didn't want to make the story a re-write of those events. It seems that my attempt of finding a golden solution of explaining but not going into too many details failed.

Oh, well, that's the risk when writing something so strongly set in one's universe

Thanks for reading anyway

Oh, it was a good read, don't get me wrong. I liked it.

As someone who isn't familiar with your wider body of work, there are gaps that I need to fill for myself but I think this is a well-written look at a dimension of the Trek universe that I certainly found interesting. I've already started browsing into your other work.

Unfortunately, my characters have such rich lives that they are an easy source for stories for challenges

But that comes for the price of drawing their past from my earlier stories into the stand alone tale. I always try to explain things, but at the same time not be redundant for those who know the other stories, so as I wrote Rush, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In this story it clearly didn't.

Oh, well...there's always another challenge

Thanks for reading

I hope you'll find something interesting among my other stories
