Star Trek Fanfiction.  Also, a scientific paper.  At the same time.

Or

In which Spock and Kirk have sex for science.

"He looked at his hand, trembling, then slowly, slowly reached out to touch Spock’s shoulder. Spock did not turn to look at him, but his own hand moved up to rest on top of Kirk’s."

This was my favorite moment.

I liked the structure of the story being a scientific paper! I have never seen that done before, so it was entertaining, and I love that you made a graph and even made up footnotes and references.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. Honestly, the fake references were the best part to write.

Four billion points for the proper scientific report paper format. Fantastic.

Thanks! (I'm pretty sure all of my former professors would die of shame if they knew what use I put their teachings to.)

This was so much fun to read! Scientific paper format FTW!

Also, the whole, “I’m definitely in love with you,” he said firmly. “And I’ve even got science to back it up.” was wonderful.

Re; Works Cited: I see what you did there.... And I laughed my ass off about it too. :D

[aerlalaith]

Haha, I thought you might notice that. ^_^

This made me smile! Very clever and well executed--I loved the graph!!! :D

That was super, super awesome and I think I love you a little. I have to say, though, that if I were reviewing this paper, I would raise the following point:

Presumably, partners in groups I, II, and III had never had sex with each other before. Presumably, partners in group IV had. Have you considered that the significant increase in physical satisfaction in group IV is due to familiarity with one's partner's preferences or some other factor related to having engaged in sexual relations with one another previously? To test this hypothesis, I suggest including a group of partners who are either in a romantic relationship that has not yet been physically consummated or who have deep feelings for one another but (while they might have considered the possibility) have not yet entered into a physical relationship.

To conclude: screw microbiology, where can I do science like this?

Oh my goodness, you're absolutely right. Clearly there must be another study. What a shame.
