Summary: Uhura is fascinated by the new system they foundWhy I'm reccing it: Love the mental image of Uhura getting to use her incredible language skills to interpret new uses for old roots. Also love her interactions with Spock here, and the old-school Trek feel with a progressive, modern-day plot. Written for Ad Astra's Juneteenth challenge, too.

Summary: The
fal-tor-pan is an ancient and dangerous rite, unused for centuries. It is not done lightly. High Priestess T'Lar considers.
Why I'm reccing it: Absolutely excellent world-building; it fills in an interesting beat during ST:III while remaining separate enough to be completely fascinating just as a study of Vulcan culture and a particularly unexplored element of it.

Series: Part 3 of
Higher PowersSummary: Thunder and lightning, and a Starship falling to her death.
Why I'm reccing it: Short, but it packs a hell of a punch; despite being part of a longer series, it stands alone as a cut scene from the movie showing how Scotty managed to get out and what exactly he was up against while he did.
