What: Linguistics
From: Trek Reboot
Who: Spock'n'Uhura
Why: It's a how they met. I really liked this. It's Spock/Uhura. I recommend her Mermaid as well. I would well give a wide berth to the holography 1-3 even though they are the set-up for this story Linguistics. There are no trigger warnings and rape and physical abuse are a big part of the first (the Wedding Present). So, yeah. Caveat lector.

And I do have one...

Is that normal is pretty.
