to turn over in his sleep. That part's pretty much my fault since I'm laying on top
of him."

Why Must This Story Be Read?
In the KS fandom, so many fics just sort of dismiss Uhura's relationship with Spock so he can get to the lovin' with Kirk. Breaking Points does a remarkable job of staying consistent with the Reboot universe and playing out the very real ramifications of what would happen if Elder Spock decided to "set things right" between captain and first officer. All of the characters are realistic and true to what we've seen in the movie. The romance scenes are hot as hell, the drama is knuckle-bitingly tense, and the dialogue is smooth as silk. This is one of the most believable and realistic portrayals of how the new Kirk and Spock could end up together. You'll never forget this once you've read it.

Why Must This Story Be Read? Quite Simply, it's VERY well written, and she presents Nero the Sable perfectly. This is especially true in chapter 2. She does all the characters well, but her Nero really stands out. Not that I'm biased or anything. *cough*
