Reactions and Reviews

I like reading about threesomes and as a smut writer I can tell you that they're harder to write than you'd think. To be able to go beyond the sex and delve into the complex emotional dynamic of three people who love each other is tricky and Ny manages to makes it look effortless. I read her P/K/T stories and think, 'well of course it would happen like this.' She manages to make the TrekSmut writer's leap from on-screen UST to off-screen sex and still have the characters remain true to form.

This story introduced an appealing and interesting new female character who interacted with Bashir - the situations were realistic, and the dialogue was good! The fact that Risala guided Bashir toward Garak certainly biases my view of the story too, but I found it very appealing in its own right even without the G/B angle. I also liked the locale, on Risa, and really enjoyed the story very much.
