Star Trek Ficlet: A Logical Arrangement

[igrockspock]

Title: A Logical Arrangement
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Gaila, Spock
Summary: The first time Gaila meets Spock, she's holding a phaser rifle with a broken safety.
Notes: For circ_bamboo, who asked who would win if Gaila faced off with Spock. I think they would find a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Hell yeah, they'll get along fine! I tend to think of Gaila and Spock as mutually respectful of each other but ultimately not destined to be friends, since Gaila is usually characterized as very tactile and Spock is, well, Spock. Thinking about it now, no one would know the importance of boundaries as well as Gaila. I would love to see more adventures with these two, even if it's just the two of them navigating Starfleet's crazy human shenanigans together!

I love writing Gaila and Spock together! Gaila-Spock BFF-ness was one of my major preoccupations when I first got into this fandom - I think I have three or four stories about them together, and a few more in my WIP folder that I just may have to dust off and finish. I like how they're opposite but they're not. You're right, Gaila understands boundaries very well, and Spock understands being one of the only people of your species in Starfleet. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story :)

Yaaayyy! Gaila and Spock interaction is my favorite! :D

Mine too! It's been far, far too long since I've written them together.

Loved it. So nice to read some new fic, it's been ages since I went exploring for some.
I think Gaila and Spock make a good argument for the old saying "opposites attract"..

I think they do too! They are different enough to be fascinated by each other, but I think they both share a respect for each other's boundaries. I'm glad you enjoyed the story!
