Fandom: Star Trek XI (Reboot)
Pairing: Spock/Uhura
Length: 27483 words
Author Links: [personal profile] yahtzee
Theme: Black characters, Female Characters, women being awesome, pre-canon, female friendship, competence, interspecies pairings,

Summary:  During their final semester at Starfleet Academy, two people who have no intention of ever changing transform each other.

Reccer's Notes: This is a great story of how Spock and Uhura's relationship developed, but it's also a great story about Uhura's time at the Academy, how she learns and grows and how awesome she is academically.  It fits perfectly with the movie; [personal profile] yahtzee made me believe that if the movie had showed the Spock/Uhura backstory, this is what we would have seen.  There's a lot of great UST, and two people being mature adults despite being in love, and a lot of linguistics and hard work.  If I only had one Spock/Uhura story to last me forever, it would probably be this one.  Both Spock and Uhura are awesome in this, but Uhura is particularly awesome.  (And Spock loves her because she's awesome.)  There's also some good Gaila and Uhura friendship in there.
