Looking for two stories...

[songbirdie-101.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a ST:XI story that had a 25% Vulcan crew on the Enterprise after Nero. They wanted to be around Spock and Kirk, because they killed Nero/saved Earth/tried to save Vulcan. It was K/S, and Spock went through Pon Farr, and after it's over McCoy mentions to Dr. M'bena how many more times this is going to happen, with a 25% Vulcan crew.

I'm also looking for a story where Spock chides Uhura for calling the Vulcan colony/new planet "Vulcan 2", telling her that's not it's name and that he expected better from her. (Vulcan 2 was deemed too sentimental) She tells him everyone calls it that because they can't pronounce it's actual name, her included. (It's a Vulcan one) I remember he thought that it was hopeless for humans to be able to say it if she couldn't, and therefore a bad choice.

I tried to put tags on the post, I clicked the ones I wanted and everything. I don't know why they didn't show up. :P

Any chance the first one is part of Waldorph's Illogical series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/635)?

The first is here: Second Star to the Right (http://archiveofourown.org/works/11383), part of the Illogical Series by waldorph (http://archiveofourown.org/series/635). It's mentioned here that they're getting all the Vulcans still remaining in Starfleet onto the Enterprise because they see Spock as a hero and role model, wanting to fight beside him because of his and the Enterprise's role in the whole Narada thing. It's also mentioned a couple of times in other parts of this series.

Thank you!

That's the first one! Thank you both so much! I love that series.

Does anyone know the second story?

Does anyone recognize the second story I'm looking for? The part I mentioned wasn't the whole story, in fact it was probably just a paragraph in a much longer story, but that's what I remember about it. Any ideas?
