+ long ass authors note in ch 1? welcome back 2015 wattpad. boutta add in-line author's notes too while im at it
author's note:
first time in the k/s spring fever and first star trek fic, so i hope i yall enjoy my little spock-centric fic.
this is a slightly different sentinel/guide setup, so please read with some flexibility ! basically, the difference between sentinels and guides are based on mental abilities (emotions, senses, mental computation, etc.), while physical ones (strength, speed, etc.) are influenced by your species. however, it's more like a game stat you can put points into rather than a fully biological one-or-the-other typing. i'm trying to avoid sliding into omegaverse territory so that's the main reason for all the changes, but also i wanted to tie in alien culture and biology to keep that star trek feel.
i added the definition of the vulcan terms in text, but if it doesn't show up, please try to adjust your viewer until it is visible:
[Dif-tor heh smusma].
a copy with no embedded text available upon request :) and a glossary will be added shortly.
*warning : i am a newb to vulcan so i apologize if there are any errors(^～^ )ゞ shoutout to the Vulcan Language Dictionary and the Vulcan Language Institute for all the help. it's hard to find comprehensive vulcan material, so im working with what i got
*warning 2: this is not SNW or DIS compliant. i did steal a bunch of ideas off memory alpha and beta though so it's a big mélange of everything. lots of liberty is taken with TOS!spock's academy and science officer years 😛 && the AOSverse is calling my name like the green goblin mask so unfortunately for everyone i will be writing more of this au 🙂↕️😈
*warning 3: this is unbeta'd and is a first/second draft so please let me know anything ive missed or anything that is wrong !! i greatly appreciate it.
