A wonderful look at cultural differences, on Earth and beyond. The friendship here is wonderful.

Notes
She tucks a few bright red curls behind the curve of her green ear. The skin there is slightly darker, a mossy shade. On Orion, there are thirty-seven different words for green, each one a slightly different hue, with a slightly different connotation. None of them are associated with anything negative, rather, they reflect a cultural appreciation for the sensual: green in broad daylight, green under a starlit sky, green in the flickering shadows cast by a lover's lamp. Green that invites a touch, a taste, the color of the skin on the back of someone's neck, behind the curve of the knee.
I am black but comely, Uhura thinks. O, ye daughters of Jerusalem.
Excellent Uhura & Gaila & world-building & history.

Wonderful Gaila and Uhura character study. Highly recced.
There are two follow up pieces, not quite making a story, but connected vignettes.
