wow.

this was amazing.

clever people being clever—in spaaaaaace.

i wish i had stories like this one when i was a teen.

i'd have been so much... better.

better at being julio.

this author is spectacular.

and this fic was funny, pacey, mysterious, tense, and cunning as fuck.

like a really good episode of the west wing, only IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (etc)

i'm gonna read all the things, and god help the fool bearing real-life escandalo who tries to interrupt me.

This is still just as good every time I read it and a perfect prelude to Seperis' sequel War Games. I'm not going to go into much detail about this story and the overall plot, mostly because this is one I believe is best just to jump into and partly because Seperis does a marvelous job of explaining things and answering questions throughout the story as you read along, but here is a quote that tells a little more than the summary (tiny bit spoilery, but mostly only for this story rather than the overall Reboot series, considering how the name of the sequel sorta gives stuff away already):

Jim sighs once, breath warm against his throat as Spock eases him into unconsciousness. Spock shifts carefully until he can press his back against the wall, Jim a warm, trusting weight across his body. Pressing a hand against Jim's face, Spock breathes the words that allow him to block the memories from haunting Jim's sleep, trying to believe he will not remember these flashes of a universe not his own: a place where to James Kirk, he was far more than colleague and friend, the Federation did not hover on the edge a war there is no certainty they could hope to win, and he had never watched his homeworld die.

I pretty much adored this. I've never been a Kirk/Spock shipper, but that has now changed. Circuitous Spock is sly and Kirk is unexpectedly brilliant, and it's just really well done, okay? And all encircling the concept of the pon farr, which has always fascinated me. So good.

Onto the other stories in this series.

Very different from anything else I've read, but also very good. I *do* think you need to be familiar with the Star Trek universe to enjoy it, though. I wouldn't have said I had more than a passing familiarity before I read this, but I was WRONG. I don't know who I was trying to fool, but apparently I'm GD Trekkie!!! Still not sure how that happened, but I'd say it was worth it for this little gem alone. Multiverse FTW

Gosh this was so good. I slept two hours last night but it was totally worth it. This one has everything.

I have a special place in my heart for a good Spirk sparring session, and this one has a really really good one. Almost as good as The Sparring session at the beginning of Spice.

Not bad but I felt the author his the ball too long, overall it was too disjointed to be a slam dunk but still not a bad read.
