    Summary

    How do you explain sexual arousal to a guy whose species doesn't experience it? Whatever the case, Ryland Grace is definitely not the right person for the job.

    Unfortunately, a hands-on demonstration might be in order.

    Summary

    “Oh my god, Rocky.” I want to cover my face with my hands, but I’m not about to let go of him. “You’re insatiable.”

    “I’m insatiable?” He looms a little closer over my face, forcibly bringing himself back into my field of vision. The bright holodeck lights catch in the sweaty sheen of my skin. “I don’t feel arousal. I am in it for the love of the game.”

     

    Or: Look, if the Eridian scientists want you to test out a technology that lets you and your bestie kinda sorta touch each other for real, are you even a proper scientist if you don't consider how it could be used for sex?

    Summary

    Grace had once explained to me the meaning of their surname in their native language. Elegance of form, beauty in motion.

    Summary

    To Grace's knowledge (i.e. the Hail Mary's database, i.e. all of human knowledge), there have never been any studies done to confirm whether ambrein (a derivative of sperm whale digestive secretions!) actually functions as an aphrodisiac in humans or not.

    Well, 15.8 light years from Earth, he's about to find out. Because the cytoplasm of Taumoeba consists in large parts of a triterpene alcohol that is startlingly similar to ambrein — and baby, he's all out of coma slurry.

    Or: The sex pollen amoeba fic you (never) asked for.


    Rocky utters a wordless little trill, half concerned and half curious. Always curious, and why would this be an exception? If anything, this is me conducting a pilot study on the unusual effects of Taumoeba on the human body, and oh is he ever morbidly fascinated by the many things my gross, leaky body does.

    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.
