Fervent Studies

Author notes and WARNING: This is another LJ Kink Meme fill that I did. Because of the nature of the request, there's contact of a sexual nature, and it's all very literal. No cute metaphor for Shepard's unmentionables. Mordin's unmentionables are not mentioned though. Mentioned unmentionables - haha. XD Mordin and Shepard are not a couple I ship, but the prompt was so amusing that I just had to give it a try.

Here's the prompt I was filling:

Fem!Shep got herself a mission on some God-forsaken planet with some god-forsaken, unknown plant species that she accidentally touched while her armour was broken - it's an aphrodisiac, and it's strong.

Mordin, completely interested by the new plant species and its effects on humans, tries his best to gain some scientific knowledge on the plant... By touching Shepard... err, intimately. Would prefer it if Mordin is seeing this from a purely scientific point of view, and is mentioning what he's doing and how Shepard's reacting out loud, but I'll take whatever to get this written :D

Hope you enjoy my interpretation! A datapad records what's going on so LOTS of talking. I promise that it gets better after the first log if you're into this. The first chapter is just to set the scene and leading into the studying.

ENTRY LOG #42

SUBJECT: Collector Sample

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

MORDIN SOLUS: Looking over Collector sample that Mr. Vakarian brought back from ship a few days ago. Says it's from -

UNKNOWN: Mordin! *RECOGNIZING SPEECH PATTERN* … *CONFIRMED TURIAN*

SOLUS: Garrus, I'm in the middle of studying a sample, can it – Commander Shepard!

TURIAN: Shepard needs -

UNKNOWN: I can walk on my own, Garrus. *RECOGNIZING SPEECH PATTERN* … *CONFIRMED HUMAN* Just need to sit down and get this armor off.

SOLUS: What's wrong with the Commander?

TURIAN: We don't know. She was complaining about the heat. It's relatively cool out there. Didn't want to remove her armor until we were back inside.

UNKNOWN: Had to bring her here. *RECOGNIZING SPEECH PATTERN* … *CONFIRMED DRELL* Dr. Chakwas is out on shore leave for a few days.

SOLUS: An assistant was left behind in her stead. Cannot have her treat Shepard?

DRELL: Shepard does not wish to see the doctor. We had to convince her to at least let a friend look over her.

SOLUS: What seems to be the problem, Commander Shepard?

HUMAN: Ugh, I just need to get this armor off. Too hot.

SOLUS: You sound winded, Commander. Sure you don't want to see the doctor's assistant? Possible symptoms of fever.

HUMAN: Armor. Off.

TURIAN: Here, Shepard. Let me help. Thane, come unclasp the other side.

HUMAN: Why are my hands shaking? Just – ah.

TURIAN: Whoa, Shepard. You're burning up.

HUMAN: Don't touch me. Please. Too many bodies. Too hot.

DRELL: We are sorry, siha. We just need to remove your boots and legplates. Almost done.

SOLUS: Will turn down thermostat. Will help with heat, maybe.

DRELL: What's this?

TURIAN: What's what?

DRELL: This. It fell from her armor.

SOLUS: Let me see. Plant of some kind. Don't recognize species. Angiospermae. Flowering plant. Will have to go through database.

HUMAN: Wonder how that got in there. Never seen it before.

TURIAN: Here's the problem. There's a crack in one of your legplates. You didn't check your gear before you left?

HUMAN: Tired of these god-forsaken missions, and I wanted to get it over with. I'll check it next time.

SOLUS: Perhaps something on planet toxic. You both feel fine?

DRELL: Yes, illness symptoms excluding.

TURIAN: Nothing out of the ordinary.

SOLUS: Only effect on humans. This plant? Will look into database now. Austrobaileyales – botanical name of an order of flowering plant. One of apparently woody plant. Doesn't narrow down farther than that. Seems no research has been done. It has been documented as Species 846890597097.

TURIAN: What are you doing, Shepard?

HUMAN: Taking my top off. What does it look like?

DRELL: Perhaps we should take our leave, and let Dr. Solus take care of her.

SOLUS: Oh. Seems I still had my study log open. End recording.

END OF ENTRY.
