With pathos and a lovable cast of main characters, it's a gripping read. The backstories also give the Octonauts and the titular junior officers depth. Even Humphrey, the resident Hate Sink, is interesting in his own way.
There are even a few morals here and there without them being hammered into our faces. There is some drama and sad, serious moments, but not to the point of being off-putting. In fact, there are a lot of sweet moments within the characters. The beginning disclaimers and outros can also be pretty funny.
Junior Officers deals with topics such as sexism, racism (with animals, but still), and parental issues. It might be a somewhat mature Octonauts fic, but that works in its favor. It doesn't try to be overly-vulgar as a more mature Octonauts fic, it tries to tell a story with those topics. In short, I'd give this fic a 9/10.
Fanfic A pawsome fic
