This particular thing has been kicking around in my head for like four days demanding I write it even though my knowledge of DC Comics can fit in a very small knapsack.

I finally decided to make my brain shut up by actually doing it.

A long time ago I was reading a bunch of fandom conversations, and one of the things that I came across regarding Star Trek: Rebooted was a lot of raw hatred for the relationship between Spock and Uhura. Hatred that seemed both completely detached from the actualities of the TOS canon and dissociated from the process in the movie. (And, for that matter, about the particular breakthroughs, culturally, for black women as active participants in both stories and relationships that were in TOS canon and the new movie. Which is stuff I didn't have conscious in my head before I was reading the backlash to the backlash, in which WOC posted, effectively, "Not only did a black woman get to have a relationship... she got Spock.")

So I wound up writing this - including a rewatch or two of the movie and a fair amount of TOS research - because the ranting irritated me. Which also struck me as hilarious, because I haven't written fanfic since high school (and the fanfic I wrote was all NG, and actually pretty insubstantial).

Anyway. Here it is.
