Why This Must Be Read: I'm truly surprised that this story hasn't already been rec'd here because it's one of the most popular Spock/Uhura stories out there and seen by many as the one by which all future stories will be judged. I honestly can't say enough good things about this story and salr323 's writing in general. The characterizations are spot on and it'll have you dying to read the next part, even though, as you'll slowly realize, there might have been a little outside inspiration for this story. The Spock/Uhura relationship here is as fiery as the hangar scene in the film suggests. It also features some of the most romantic writing I've read in fan fic, as well as beautifully drawn-out UST. I especially loved how she wrote Spock's internal conflict and angst, being the unique and solitary individual he is.

There's also a beautiful but highly angst-filled follow-up, Po-wak (aftermath) that deals with Spock's decision to leave to rebuild Vulcan.
