I really liked this storyparticularly the way Chapel has been presented. She is confident and very calculated. Loved reading her inner monologues. No victim mentality in sight, which is refreshing.

Great take, Kirk does come across as a selfish bastard in the story. Even Bones in the STTMP sensed his unhealthy obessesion with the Enterprise. A man who loves a machine more than a person... real sad and pathetic.

Lovely!

For a character you don't like, you sure did a fantastic job of making her relatable and sympathetic. Bravo!

Nicely done-especially the moment between Chapel and Lori at the end.

Liked this one. Liked all the characters, and the way they interacted with each other.

I really like the inclusion of Chapel, especially of her own powerful persona. Lori, not crazy about, but I found Jim too weak to be admired so I see why it didn't work out. At least Chapel didn't sleep with Kirk. But she played Lori like the proverbial fiddle.

This is the best and most realistic Lori story I have ever read. Talk about "doomed from the start" - these two certainly and sadly had no chance at happiness together. Nice touch putting Chapel in it too. Her interaction with Kirk and Ciani explained and illuminated the motivations of our short term couple.

Wow, different sort of story but I liked it. Still waiting on that Chapel/Sarek tale though. :) Okay, obsessed and I know it.
