OMFG I LOVE YOU!

You do not know how excited I was to see this posted to the spock_uhura comm! I love love loved it. I really like that you switched everyones gender -- especially Spock's parents. It makes me wonder about whether or not female Vulcans can have a similar kind of daddys!girl attachment to their fathers or not.

And the strange Scottish woman -- lol. The last scene and the scene with boy!Chapel is definitely my favourite. I also can't help but be amused at thinking of girl!Kirk hitting on boy!Uhura in the bar scene now. So did some girls fight for his honor? XD It's like the Uhura fan club or something beats Kirk up, hehe.

So, I will totes cheerlead if you ever decide to do more with this gender bended universe. :)

lol, this isn't the original fic I started with this twist but this one definitely needed to be set. I'm glad you liked it even if it was just retelling the same thing we've all heard over and over again with he/she reversed sometimes. I tried to make Uhura and Spock as in character as possible...for how their characters would react being different genders. We don't think it'd affect us so much sometimes but it definitely would

“It’s Uhura.”

“Uhura! No way! That’s the name I was going to make up for ya!- a little girly but- I think it works.” He smirks and Kirk feels a little closer to her goal, “Uhura what?”

“Just Uhura.” He intones shaking his head slightly and watching the bartender’s progress. Kirk biter her lip and pushes her hair out of her face, it’s shaggy and too long again but the guys like that, like something to hold onto.
“You don’t have last names in your world?” If every little piece of information is going to be this hard to get out of him-

“Uhura is my last name,” he smirks again. Kirk reassesses her stance and decides Uhura is definitely worth a little chase

YES! XD So much awesome. b!Uhura/g!Spock keeps making me think about Trip and T'Pol from Enterprise (if you've ever watched it). :)

Oooh, this scene totally just popped into my head. b!Uhura trying to be all chivalrous and walking professor g!Spock home after a late night in the long range sensor lab (hurr hurr) and g!Spock being all this-is-illogical-but-whatever and then they run into thugs or something and g!Spock ends up kicking ass before Uhura can land a punch. XD

I also like thinking of b!Uhura as being as understanding and perceptive as normal female Uhura is always portrayed as being. It makes the whole Spock being basically an emotional invalid sometimes more interesting as a female to Uhura's male since it's a role reversal from what's typical for humans (men being clueless, women being perceptive).

I love this. Truly and completely. I sincerely hope there will be more.

lol thanks! for more meh idk? lol it's really intriguing and boy!uhura is smokin hot but lol sometimes it's really hard to get things to swap the way you want you know?

lol i've written a bit more in the comment reply above this if you're like the read the Kirk/Uhura bar scene :P

[spocksgal]

Excellente! Female Kirk is as obnoxious as male Kirk - lol love the rewrites with the gendar swaps, would love to read more, especially how Uhura/Spock & Adam/T'Sarek get together - I bet its harder for a Terran male to get the attention of a Vulcan female.
BTW the other Spock thats in the Uhura picture is better looking and reminds me of T'Pol
