GAILA/UHURA:

1. I was shipping them casually from their scene together in the movie on, but I think zvi_likes_tv's remix of igrockspock's "Whore" was what made me really want to write them myself. Not that I've done a very good job of following up on that, but.
2. Communication, hurr. I think the trouble is that Uhura comes to grips with Gaila's more superficially alien qualities pretty easily and early on in their relationship, and doesn't realize that there are other, major differences they have to deal with, down deep; things that have to do with their respective species, and things that have to do with the lives they've lived.
3. so hot hnnngh Romantic friendships; I do like them. I also like the hint of antagonism, and the whole... interspecies thing, which is I guess a magnification of that process of revelation and exploration that every relationship is.
4. I can't see them lasting, but I'd also love to think of them as old ladies complaining together on a porch somewhere after their vessel crashlanded. Again. And with a hot, slightly bruised young pilot to sit and listen at their feet.
5. Hm. I got nothing, except maybe the popular fanon moment where Gaila dies on the Farragut, but... that's mostly because I'm a sap.
6. Demora Sulu.

I'll get back to you on War, I think.

Mmm, romantic friendships. :) I adore this (not least your reasoning on #2)
