Reactions and Reviews
I was so happy to see a new Kirk/Chapel story from Djinn. May she write many more. This acts as a very neat continuation to "A Particular Pain" as Kirk and Chapel continue to build a relationship together while dealing with the ripples it causes among their friends and colleagues. I have always loved how Djinn gives dimension to Chapel, but now I'm finding I'm also relishing how vividly she brings Kirk to life. It's also a treat to see how she writes and works with all the TOS characters in the crew. I find how she writes such minor characters as Sulu, Rand, and Uhura a real treat, let alone her portrayals of Spock and McCoy. Oh, and did I mention that the love scenes in this series and this story are hot, hot, hot? I love how the intensity of this relationship comes across from the page without any jarring explicitness. The way this couple interact with each other strikes me as very real and I find I just cannot get enough of this series. "Living in the Ashes" is an excellent story very well done. I loved it and can't wait for more in this series! [1]
Another K/Cha story, with Kirk acting firmly to forestall any doubts about what he's doing or his motivations. And this time, Chapel seems to be getting a little more convinced of it herself! With the 'ashes' in the title, I was wondering if she was going to decide the relationship was a case of 'settling' on both her and Kirk's parts, and was surprised at the surprisingly upbeat ending.

Great story, once again with a Kirk/Chapel pairing. It was wonderful to see these two adjust to their relationship, and it's impact on the rest of the crew, during a low impact mission. Djinn's story had slice of life elements interwoven with relationship angst. She also has a terrific way of turning good guys into bad guys with a few artfully written paragraphs. Everyone comes off very human, and very fallible in this tale. A wonderful example of life being in shades of gray. [3]
More angsty Chapel torture as she obsesses about what everyone else thinks of her new relationship with Kirk. And some folks on the Enterprise have surprising thoughts! I want more of this series![4]
