Glad you didn't mind rambling, I will ramble some more XD But just a tiny bit! :D
I haven't read much TOS fic, but I can definitely see how Tarsus IV would be the sort of thing that fic writers would love to explore.
I actually haven't read much TOS fic either. I got hooked via newest movies and I mostly read AOS, but they use so much of the original series that plenty of plot points get dragged in. Including, of course, Tarsus IV.
And yeah, the original plot pales so much in comparison to those fics. Obviously some use Tarsus just as a mention or tiny plot point, but some explore all the pain, issues and trauma and they're so detailed and heart-breaking that watching this episode after them it only hurts because it brings up all those feelings from the fics.
