Review:  Spock has the opportunity, granted to him by Q, to choose between the Prime Universe and his own.  He makes the only logical choice available to him.

Even if Spock/Uhura isn't your cup of tea - and it isn't particularly one of mine - you should consider giving this one a try.  I liked how Yahtzee contrasted the relationships that Spock has in the two universes, the biggest difference being his romance with Uhura; the scene in which Reboot!Uhura asks him to remember the aspects of her life that she no longer will is as poignant as it should be.  (Not a spoiler, btw - everyone in Reboot just assumes that Spock couldn't possibly pick a universe with his mother and Vulcan gone.)  Spock's eventual decision is as logical as we love the character to be... and the fact that he's figured out what Q's plotting is icing on the cake.

I've already got this in my to-read folder, but it's great to see yet another rec for it: I'm looking forward to reading it.

Of course, Yahtzee's fics are generally fabulous, I honestly think she's one of the best writers in fandom.

Thanks for the rec!

You're welcome - and I hoped the Q portrayal was accurate, I haven't seen anything other than Reboot ~

the Q portrayal was accurate,
it was, she got Q perfectly nailed down ;D
I absolutely can testify this, sitting through 178 eps of TNG, and nearly all of DS9, when I was young *g*
