Honestly, my only real familiarity with Star Trek is through the reboot movies—which means I fell in love with Amanda Grayson purely through fics like these. Lucky thing I did, because she's fantastic!

Why This Must Be Read: A lovely first-time fic. As the title says, this fic is indeed profound in its navigation of interspecies intimacy—sex, but not only sex—and its handling of two characters who very much care for and want to understand one another.

Why This Must Be Read: Written well before the 2009 reboot but perfectly in line with it, this fic grapples with Amanda's adjustment to Vulcan's strict culture and her now-prominent role among an alien people. Her refusal to compromise herself balances with her love for her new husband and his planet, and her gradual understanding of the nature of change is excellently rendered.
