    Summary

    A Vulcan’s psychosuppressors can suppress a great deal of lust. But, check in with that Vulcan after riding a pulsing vibrator for 5 hours, and their control may be slipping. Spock, for example, had finished his second recitation of Surak’s Essays in Discipline in an effort to distract himself just as the 5-hour mark passed, and by now he was shaking constantly from the immense physical, mental, and psionic effort of restraining orgasm.

    At least, Spock thought the 5-hour mark had passed - along with his inhibitions, his Vulcan internal chronometer had started to slip around hour 4, so really, time was an illusion. But, it wasn’t as if he had anywhere to be, strapped down to the bed as he was.

    And, adding in the fact that they had begun their night by securing Spock’s collar - a sturdy synth-leather piece lined with gold studs and a matching oversized O-ring, the leather dyed a deep forest-green to complement his olive skin - around his neck, Spock couldn’t imagine wanting to be anywhere else.

    --

    In which Spock is edged, collared, and at Jim’s mercy.

    Summary

    Spock’s eyes openly wandered Jim’s body. His bent position over the console accentuated the ample curve of his ass in those bright-red shorts, and his plain grey t-shirt rode up ever so slightly, revealing a swath of gorgeously tanned stomach.

    But, the enticing kicker was the slight glitter of sweat that dusted his exposed skin - not enough to drip, but just enough to make Spock’s mouth water. Sweat gave Jim’s skin such a perfect satin glow, and it served to carry his intoxicating natural scent that much more potently.

    It was irresistible.

    COURSE LAID IN FOR ALTAIR VI. ETA 5 HOURS 47 MINUTES.

    The computer read out. Spock’s psionic aura warmed - that was plenty of time for activities.

    --

    In which Spock goes full feline over Jim’s sweat.

    Summary

    When Lance’s previously obsolete skills in language suddenly become very useful, he finds himself wondering why aliens can’t account for the fact that humans, particularly him, need sleep and would prefer linear timelines.

    Summary

    “Come on, you tropical lizard, it’s shuttle time!”

    “Are you sure?” Lorcan asked suspiciously. This would not be the first time her partner had coerced her from her bundle of warmth only to reveal that shuttle launch was hours away.

    “Oh, come on, that was one time! Yes, I’m serious. Captain wants you on this first shuttle, too, says it’s time to work your magic.”

    “It isn’t magic,” Lorcan protested, hauling herself from her hammock. “It’s science.”

    Summary

    Written for the prompt: "A world where life is just wind stomachs and sandy joints, and the tide that can catch you unaware."

    "Note of the Translator : You will find here a transcription of the different markings our research team has been able to collect during their third expedition to the Surface. Those texts all date from the Pre-Hydropsam Era: they consisted, in their original form, of lines of varying depth and pattern inscribed in the layers of sand that cover our of area of investigation."

    This is a story about evolution.

    Summary

    Not that she was feeling rattled; no, it was more the unreality of what was happening: here she was, millions of miles from home, in ritual combat with an alien who she was finding increasingly fascinating—and okay, kind of hot?

    Summary

    They have words for ‘certain,’ ‘speculation,’ ‘hope.’ They hardly ever use them. Verb tenses (indicated with sound tags, like English does with ‘ing’ or ‘ed’) mark off whether a thing didn’t happen, possibly happened, probably happened, was personally witnessed to have happened, reliably documented to have happened, logically must have happened, or is hoped to have happened. Future tense is not as elaborate, since none of that has happened. Although there are a fucking boatload of past tenses, at least it is consistent. No irregular verbs at all.

    This afternoon was all structural comparisons with Arcee. She says a sentence in English, then again in Cybertronix while I write it down. Then she checks the spelling. Then we would go through and gloss word by word.

    It rained recently.
    {Short term but undetermined time unit—past event} {Rain—certainty, logically must have happened} (evidence is implied)

    It might rain later.
    {Short term but undetermined time unit—future event} {Rain-possibility} {event calculated at non-zero}

    The rain was cold.
    {Short term but unspecified time unit—past event} {Rain-personally witnessed to have happened} {273.8 degrees kelvin}

    Summary

    The infirmary was a whirlwind of action. Arcee, Wheeljack, and the trainees were getting Ratchet’s space back into shape before he returned to duty. Carly had found a long, fluffy dust mop and was making enthusiastic use of it. Arcee and Epps were wiping down tables. June and Dr. Nomura were sorting cables by size and port compatibility. Wheeljack was doing something in cabinets. When Kim came in, he turned and pointed to her. “Good. I need a human.”
