The Word for World Is--- by LauraJV (G)

Fandom: STAR TREK REBOOT
Pairing: Gen
Length: 1473
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: DW or AO3
Why this must be read:

For her amazing Vulcan characterization and description of Vulcan culture.

This is a short but exquisitely written fic on Vulcans adapting to their new planet as well as Spock dealing with the loss and change on the Enterprise. It so rare to see Vulcans being written as being alien and different from humans rather than just another strange version of humans. And LauraJV does it incredibly well. The style and language works adds beautifully in capturing the tone of the fic and there is some great subtle details in referencing TOS and profic novels.
