Why This Must Be Read: Set just after Strange New World, this is a look at T'Pol in the very early days of Enterprise as she tries to find her place in a ship full of humans. Some of the backstory reads a little AU now but the writing is crisp and clear and Seema's T'Pol is fascinating.

Why This Must Be Read: This is Trip thinking about T'Pol. This is Trip thinking maybe a little too much. Kinda cynical and deprecating, this is brief but powerful.

Why This Must Be Read: In the last hiatus before Bound aired, a challenge went around the Trip/T'Pol community for authors to write their own version of the episode, based on whatever spoilers they'd heard. Ludjin met that challenge with a well-executed plot, good characterisation and a resolution that doesn't completely destroy canon.

Why This Must Be Read: There's a lot of stories out there dealing with the premise of T'Pol and pon farr and this, in my opinion, is quite possibly one of the best. It's short, intense and -- to quote the title -- makes a damn mess of the two pairings listed above. nikitee's writing is sharp and she delivers a hell of a sucker punch.
