Some Translation Required (Spock, Kirk/Spock | G | 3,183 words): Spock has more-or-less learned how to speak Earthling. This is a really fun and funny look at how people from Earth go about things and Spock who is forced to try to explain his crew's thought processes to everyone else.
Excerpt:
Ultimately, the most frustrating thing about Earthlings was that they seemed to be single-handedly making a case for the existence of luck, Spock reflected as he watched the Carturi ships careen through the nebula, caught in their own inertial pull and burning with a sickly purple flame.
"Excellent work," Jim congratulated the crew.
Spock had long-since stopped looking to Nyota for a moment of incredulity. She was, after all, an Earthling. In fact, he was more likely to share commiseration with Dr. McCoy, which was too horrifying to contemplate and so Spock kept his glances to himself.
"Might I suggest Warp 5?" he asked instead, and Jim grinned at him brightly and said,
"Mr. Sulu, Warp 5 to keep Mr. Spock happy."
