How have I not read this before?
I don't even know if you get notifications from here anymore, but I wanted to say that I love this story. And your writing.
Lol made me cry :)

Awwww I love this

I didn't think this one-shot was confusing at all! It was great! I loved seeing Jim from the perspective of the people around him and you made good choices. Plus, I love me some good McKirk and this really delivered!
Gosh, my heart ached when Jim felt betrayed when Bones didn't pull Spock off him but on the other hand, it's a good thing because it proves a sort of mutual regard and expectation in Jim that I'd have worried he didn't have if he considered Bones his pack in the way he did Kevin. Because Jim would have fought heaven and earth for Kevin and never expected him to put himself in danger for Jim. That Jim does do so when it comes to Bones is a good thing. Makes them much more equal and proves that Jim lets himself rely on Bones and goodness does that boy need a support! You gotta step up ypur game, Bones, don't make th same mistake twice ;D
Thank you for this little AU! It was tons of fun!

I really liked this a lot. So emotive :)

One of my favorite Jim/Bones fics ever. Love the character of Jim especially.

Too many feels!

Oh dear God, that was beautiful. Amazing story!

I love Spock/Kirk, but I will admit that McKirk has definitely been growing on me, helped along its corse by amazing oneshots like this one.

That was lovely.
Of course the first part was disturbing, it's hard to imagine a mother doing this to her own child, but the part for Spock Prime was very good. He was seemingly the only one really aware of his actions and the consequences they had, but he couldn't change. Strong display of his human side there.
And of course the last part covering Bones was sometimes sweet, sometimes harsh. I especially like how you accentuated on the subtle shifts in their relationship. Well done

I love this :) It's sweet and wonderfully written. Thanks for sharing!

*squees...coughs* um yeah. so that was so good and sweet and angsty (of course an au of your other story couldn't help but be angsty lol ) and i really liked the way kirk and bones came together and it made so much sense that way. and i felt so bad for older spock and we got to see kevin older! but yeah, now i really can't wait to see how kirk and bones handle each other in your main story lol

Winona's view escalated perfectly, just what i was secretly-wrongingly- looking for for jim's home life!
I wish you'd go into detail for jims threats regarding kevin. they would have been a delicious treat
Chris's stung the most i think. ''half the man, because he'll never be more''...
Nyota was the next closest to actually seeing the true jim actually, kinda weird thought.
Spock Prime, he kinda caused more pain for both of them, with his memories
I nearly died a little bit when bones did nothing and jims firm shut off response, the thought of Jim killing Winona would have been satisfying, at least if bones asks did he kill the instigators of jims other scars he can say yes to some of them..
Very well written, really heart wrenching

Beautiful! I love it! I love you!

So much love. Seriously, so much love.

The two other stories from this universe are ripping me apart; oh it hurts, its painful, but its like watching a car wreck, knowing something bad has happened. Except unike a car wreck, you can hope that instead of the people inside being shattered, JT has been injured but he's going to emerge from the broken car wreck of his life and be stronger for it.

But oh God it hurts right now, how amazing your stories are and the pain within them is sharp and brilliant and beautiful and painful, like a shard of crystal tearing into flesh or just dripping with blood...

But this story is a balm that helps heal the wound left behind on the knife, and it will comfort me until the blood has been wiped off the knife and the story turning toward a happier place. But oh please, please don't leave the kife lying where it is, blood staining it's length. Please pleaes please just carry it forward, wipe a little more of that beautiful, painful blood off. Please please please continue the story; just take it a little further, clean it a little more.
