HAHAHA WHOA IT'S BEEN YEEEARS SINCE I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT T'PRING. amok time is only my favourite episode, so well done me. Anyway, let me assuage your creepy feelings with a few key points: 1. betrothed is not the same as married, especially when it was arranged when they were children. She wound up hooking up with some big brutish Vulcan way less attractive than Leonard Nimoy (gurl), so it's not even like we can say DATING SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT THE VULCAN WAY. 2. I...could be wrong about this, but I always thought that in TOS Spock studied at the Vulcan Science Academy AND THEN went to Starfleet. In this universe, he just goes to Starfleet and he does it because he experiences a ton of racism on Vulcan that was really only hinted at in TOS (partially by T'Pring herself). Because alternate-Spock is all too often a Spock who's just barely in control of his emotions, we can see his resentment that he's considered inferior because of his mother, and he decides he'd rather be seen as a Vulcan among humans than a human among Vulcans. the point i'm trying laboriously to make here is, I could see him in this universe actually going to T'Pring and breaking off the engagement before he leaves. 3. the timeline is actually set a good bit earlier in these movies than the Original Series was. In the show, they were all adults who'd been out of school a few years - I believe Kirk was 32 or 33? In here, they haven't even graduated. Kirk is in his mid-to-late 20's. Chekov is 17. That's one of the things I like about the AU tbh, it came and shook them up before they were really ready. Anyway, Spock and Uhura were obviously dating for awhile before Nero came for Vulcan, because his excuse for not immediately assigning her to the flagship when she's clearly the top of her class was "avoiding the appearance of favouritism".

Now, THAT RIGHT THERE is a problem some people have with the relationship that I actually understand, that she's a student and he's a TA of some kind and so they're not on equal footing and it could be creepy. I get that. I have felt that as an impediment to other ships (Jeff/Annie, hiiii!) But the reason I don't feel it here is because I find it so obvious that she was the one who pursued him. Look at the way she defends herself in the "no. I'm assigned to the Enterprise" scene. This girl is not afraid to go for what she wants and i could see him refusing her at first because it's inappropriate because of his position, but hello, it's Uhura. She's kind of enchanting.

DA

because I read the awful comics that are apparently canon (if Orci says so) I want to add that:

1) yes, she was the one who asked him out the first time and she did that only when he WASN'T her teacher anymore and their relationship was allowed
because I'm a good girl I'll share the scan with you:

2) yes, Spock was betrothed to T'pring (not married) in this timeline too BUT he "broke up" with her - they were frands and she isn't a bitch in this reality - when he left vulcan and went to the academy so that she could be free to choose another (good boy) therefore he was free to do the same when he met the goddesses that Uhura is
