Summary: Nyota liked her roommate just fine until she met her.

I meant to review this ages and ages ago, alas, it kept on being put off. Well, I'm here now, and I have to say this story is awesome. Linguistics, culture clash, learning, friendship. So very well done; creative world-building, sympathetic characterisation.

So... what do you think?

I do love that one, and it holds up well to re-reading.

One of the best fics to come out of the Reboot (the other one I really love is Graduate Vulcan for Fun and Profit, in which Jim is sort-of adopted by a Vulcan linguist who survived the Kelvin (but is desperate to stop Star Fleet discovering how good a linguist he is, because he wants to stay on the command track).

I really adore this fic; it's one of few Trek fics I've read that really made me think about something from a different perspective--and it's funny and heartfelt and true to the characters while doing so!

The sort of fic that's on par with some of the best original fiction (plus the chewy goodness of adding to a world we already know).
