Why this must be read: As much as I loved the movie, it suffered from a distinct gender imbalance and from general failing of the Bechdel test. Thankfully, fandom occasionally picks up the slack, like this lovely story centering around Uhura and Gaila in the early Academy days. One of my favourite aspects of the fic is that it doesn’t ignore Gaila’s alienness, the occasionally hilarious misunderstandings and conflicts it leads to. Spock’s role in the story is a great bonus, and doesn’t detract in the slightest from the portrayal of the female friendship. This one is bound to leave you with a smile on your face.
