A little help?

[ciroccoj]

I just read this Star Trek fic. It's great. Lovely. Stunning, even. I love it. The problem is... I don't get the last part. And as I'm generally not a total idiot, I would assume it's because the author is being overly cryptic, but she's got about a hundred comments already and a lot of them particularly praise the last bit. So unless there's some kind of Emperor's New Lack of Clothing thing going on here, I'm thinking it's something pretty obvious that I am for some reason totally clueless about.

Can anybody help?

I think maybe he went to visit his human grandmother? I'm not entirely sure.

I reread - it mentions a "surviving aunt on Earth," so presumably that's who he's visiting. Not sure why it's so OMG that he visits a stranger related by blood, but ymmv.

OK, so I'm not the only one who doesn't get the OMGBRILLIANTness, then. See, yeah, I was thinking maybe it was Amanda from the old timeline but that wouldn't make sense because she'd been dead for years over there and Spock couldn't have brought her to the new timeline, and the adopted daughter could be... Spock's adopted daughter? No, that doesn't work. Maybe a relative? Who? What? I could think of possibilities to fill in the blanks, but none thrust themselves forward as AHA!! things, you know?

Thank you!
