Absolutely loved this story. Was a bit nervous starting (as mpreg fucks usually freak me out) but this was brilliantly creative and beautiful. Thank you!

Oh my love you’re story! I like long complicated story still read and you to know exactly how to make a good story thank you very much

Great story. So realistic. Crying out for the sequel

if your ever will be thinking about an epilogue, I would be so happy to read itI still love this story! it's still one of the best on fanfic! all the best to you!

Very good story

I'm in the middle of chapter 5. today all the time binge-reading this story in every free minute... I really love shoreleave as an author, this collaboration with mijan is great... I never read this story, because I don't like mpreg... (i like slash, so that's not a problem...). but after so much amazing recessions, I thought "give it a chance, maye your prejudices are too harsh"... yeah,...as i said -bingereading the whole day. I can't turn my smartphone off...so much detailed descriptions (think about this nebula, omg), which set this story in terms of quality apart of a "normal" fanfic... (I really appreciate every author and lots of story types, but let's face it, there are different quality levels-at least for me). this is great! but now, I don't have any time left, must read further on-Jim awakes...!

please update

A well crafted story, and Jim's emotions over the loss of the foetus are extremely well thought out and probably familiar to anyone who's had an early-term miscarriage. Given the years since this was updated I guess it's unlikely to be finished, but it's still a good read.

Love this fic as well as your others! But will you post the epilogue or is it complete the way it is? Thank you for writing and sharing so far, Jo

It's bee over 3 years, any chance of ever getting that epilogue? Good story.

I just discovered your story and I really liked it! Thanks! Have you done any more Star Trek fanfics?

So is this story over? If so than when should the epilogue be up?

So any chance of that epilogue?

This is seriously close to the best ST fanfic I've ever read, and I've read a LOT of them in the last year.
The story is far more involved than I at first realised, and while I admit I took a quick peek at the beginning of chapter 8 (just to check it wasn't going to be a babe-in-arms happily-ever-after MPREG thing), I am so terribly impressed by the ethical questions you raise & the way you challenge societal conceptions.
If you don't have the medical knowledge to back up your terminology, then you put up a damn good front, because I couldn't pick a single error, and that made it REALLY enjoyable to read.
My only criticism would probably be just HOW incredibly childish you portray Kirk as - maybe it's just that I'm a TOS fan rather than an Abrams fan, but I don't think Kirk was that infantile even in ST 09. I kept thinking that I care for 13 year olds having babies every day who have more maturity than that, but I guess that's what some '09 fans like - the exaggeration of what they see as adorable qualities.
Anyway, THANK YOU! Really, really well done and a fantastic read, I only wish it was longer. I'm guessing that after nearly three years, the epilogue isn't happening.
So I'll just go and explore whatever else you've written, and say again, thank you!

I didn't realise this was an MPREG going in, so I may not make it to the end.
But well written so far, thank you for the convincing & pretty accurate medical detail, it makes it a very enjoyable read.
