    The writing is so smooth and flows so well it took me until nearly the end to realize you never referred to Kirk as "Jim", LOL. I was also getting a nudging feeling as I read that the characterizations didn't quite match up to the AOS movies and when I scrolled back up and saw the TOS tag I did get a feeling of vindication. Very well done!

    I really liked the quiet, comfortable kind of well-regard they both have for in each other in this (though I gather via fandom osmosis that's there in TOS, I just haven't watched it). It's clear they respect each other, and I've gotta admit I'm a sucker for the kind of simple domesticity that's in this fic; they know each other well and it's clearly coming through. Kudos to you for managing to strike that line and also I will readily admit I admire the flow in your writing.

    If it's not clear, I really liked the fic. Thank you for sharing! XD

      Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do sometimes refer to TOS Kirk as Jim, but it depends on the fic. :)
