Why This Must Be Read: Hilarious and cute with totally spot-on characterization. Like every one of the lamentably few Kirk/Uhura shippers out there I love to believe she doesn't dislike him nearly as much as she pretends to. It's also fun to consider that he would never let on or maybe even know the difference himself if he were actually in love with her. Accordingly this whole fic is about them gradually coming to mean a lot to each other, at least as friends at first, and always having a strange way of showing it as if they'd be unsure of how to start interacting if they finally had to drop the familiar act that started when he first met and hit on her in a bar such a long time ago.
