If you've got the same concern about the Star Trek/LHoD fic I do, I noticed that Estraven's great romance with Ashe seems to be almost entirely in the letters written for public consumption. The cyphered messages are all business and pretty cold, except for the last one after Vulcan's destruction. Which makes me wonder how close they are, in reality, as opposed to the version they are spinning for the Federation.

That's a neat interpretation! It still results in the Therem we get on the page not really showing me much of canon Therem (or Ashe either), though, and given that this is an AU where everything other than Therem is different, that doesn't leave much of the canon.

But no the main thing that got me was kemmer being annual (kemmer is not annual) and then a lot of other little stuff I started side-eying after noticing that. And again it's an AU if they want to change how often kemmer happens, fine, but at that point they've changed so much that what's the point.
