recthethingCultural Studies (759 words) by Merfilly
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Nyota Uhura, Spock
Additional Tags: Slice of Life, Weekly Challenge: Juneteenth
Summary: Uhura is fascinated by the new system they found
Why 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.
The Mountain Rose Before Me (3208 words) by Beatrice_Otter
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: T'Lar
Additional Tags: Religion, Missing Scene, Vulcan Culture, Telepathy, Vulcan Religion, Star Trek: III - The Search for Spock
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.
Lightning (980 words) by daraoakwise
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (AOS)
Additional Tags: Star Trek Beyond, Missing Scene
Series: Part 3 of Higher Powers
Summary: 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.
