The Stupid Part Is Where I Expected Something Different

I was trolling through the Star Trek: Into Darkness Kink Meme, and there is only ONE (!) straight Spock/Uhura prompt.

And fandom, adding 'please have Spock/Uhura break up amicably' and 'Spock/Kirk (Uhura)' does not make me side eye you ANY LESS.

I just wanted Spock and Uhura being a badass functional established couple (in space!) Was I the only one who noticed and flailed over the moment in the moviewhere Uhura rose up on her tip-toes and presented her mouth to be kissed? And Spock obliged? Am I the only one who wants to read fic about what it's like when they fight? I'm dipping my toe into AO3, but I'm scared.

- but I sort of choke on stories where Pepper dumps Tony in the first paragraph for being unable to give her a normal life, just to get her out of the way for Tony/Steve. (And this in stories set after IM3!)

Ugh! Did they not see how massively supportive and commited to each other Pepper and Tony are at the end of the movies? Do they not realized that Pepper is 100% aware of who Tony is and has been for years?
