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 admit, I only skimmed, but I think it has to do with the recurring theme of previously rejecting his human side, not visiting Earth, not feeling accepted by him human classmates... and visiting Earth anyway because his aunt, even though he doesn't really know her at all, is the only familial connection he has left to his mother. Accepting, perhaps at last, his human side.

*sigh* "…his human classmates…"

Yeah, that makes a certain amount of sense... it doesn't feel OMFFG!-like, though. And I don't get why the daughter being adopted and Spock being half-Vulcan are important enough to slip in there.

I like your explanation, though. Thanks!
