Why You Should Read This:
It made me cry which is in itself something to seriously consider because while movies can sometimes rip my heart out — the written word rarely gets me that worked up. I can take breaks and walk away from a story (normally) but I’ve read this one three times and I tear up every time. Jim’s pain is physical and visceral –it’s as much a character is any other in the story. McCoy is charming and protective in this fic and Sulu and Chekov form a “cabal of ire” for Spock that amuses despite the situation.
I love, love, love this story! It’s one of my favorites in the K/S fandom and it makes me tear up every time.
I haven’t had time to read this yet, but have set it up on my Kindle. I really appreciate you taking the time to make recs as I have found yours to be very reliable. Just wanted to say thanks,

OMG… I read whenever I need a good angst.
