Hissy Fits and Barbarians by Leah (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE
Pairing: Tucker/Reed
Author on LJ: no

Why this must be read: Trip, Malcolm, and large, hairy, exuberant aliens, i.e. the Glorious Same-Same Speakers. A funny and charming little fic. Leah has a wonderful light touch with both Malcolm and Trip, (along with marvelous characterizations) as they try their best to communicate with a very alien alien. This little vignette exemplifies the kind exploration and discovery that I love about Trek. And there's a more involved sequel, (Persnickety in the Underworld) where the Speakers return, and Cheetah brings fruit, for Malcolm. (It's linked to on the Hissy Fits page).
Cheetah frowned thoughtfully, which for him meant blowing air through his upper lip. He gestured again, a faster and more complicated series this time. Malcolm and Trip kept their eyes glued to the translator's tiny screen.
"Throat-cold is joyous in portion of Most Excellent Starjoy. Overcome with non-eating sadness, This Speaker is Certain. Glorious same-same help touch near baby bird analogue appendage?"
Malcolm finished reading the screen. He thumbed off the output as he looked at Trip. "I want to cry."
