Why this must be read:
Trelane of The Squire of Gothos fame is a character a lot of people skip over, or dismiss as one of the several near-omnipotents that Kirk deals with.aldora89 brings him back in a tale that is equal parts funny, sweet, dramatic, smart, hot, and loving. The entire crew is marvelously in character -- I love Uhura's part in this, and Sulu is great as well.
Where the fic shines, though, is with Kirk and Spock, who feel so utterly like the Kirk and Spock I saw on screen. Spock, in particular, is a treat with his unashamed snark in interacting with Trelane. And I always get a kick out of Trelane, who gets some of the best lines, and who has a tiny twist at the end that's a reward for fans of the Star Trek series beyond TOS.
This fic combines combines plot, character, and sex for a story that's just utterly fun.
Uhura led Trelane in a circle around the room, commenting on and explaining the holiday trappings as best she could. He, in turn, claimed he adored almost everything he saw, and had a curiosity streak to rival any toddler. If Spock weren’t so grim from his displeasure at Trelane’s presence and/or existence in general, Jim was sure he would be amused, because most of their guest’s exchanges with Uhura followed a particular pattern:
“Surely your primary circulatory organ does not look like this.”
“They’re not based on the real thing.”
“Than what are they based on?”
“Umm… there’s a few theories, but I don’t think anyone knows for sure.”
“Oh, how quaint! How delightfully ignorant!”
