    Summary

    "There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."

    Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.

    Summary

    "Grace's body is alive despite every detail telling Rocky otherwise. His human is a cold and wet thing, yet there are biological pumps within his body that shuttle around heated blood no differently than in an Eridian. Rocky knows the blood within him is hot because he can hear its vibration, a static hum that accompanies all that produces heat. But what Rocky wants nothing more is to press his palms against Grace until he can feel it, that scant heat, that proof that he is in fact alive."

    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

    Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”

    “I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”

    “Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”

    “Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.

    “♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.

    “What?”

    “Can♪♪♫will understa♫d it ♫think talks♫♪ as this♪ Eridian you♩♫, question?”

    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.
