Summary: During their final semester at Starfleet Academy, two people who have no intention of ever changing transform each other.

This isn't just a good Spock/Uhura story; it doesn't just have linguistics and a slow-growing friendship which develops into love, it doesn't just have angst and joy. If it was just that, I would like it for that, very much. But this has the lovely bonus of making me see things about both Spock and Uhura that I hadn't seen before, and that makes it extra special.

Summary: Spock has the opportunity to choose between the Prime universe and his own.

I like this because a) Spock is forced to re-evaluate what he values, b) we have an intriguing moral dilemma, and c) all is not as it seems.
