Gorntegas fic is FINISHED at 21k.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

When I started posting it was only supposed to be 12k but I got a little caught up in Gorn worldbuilding (who could help it??).

No one had cared for her when she was injured, because any minor injury was concealed and every major injury was culled. She had learned to hide the burns and abrasions that she sometimes acquired in the training, to treat them with salvaged minerals. She had not learned to extend an injured limb into another's reach and let soft fingers apply a treatment. She trembled as the human's fingers touched her. A Gorn did not weep, not an adult Gorn who had survived the cullings, certainly not a trained Pilot. But her claws clenched, and her valve-fold loosened and became damp, her tiny stunted ovipositor hardening within. "Shhh," said the human, a meaningless sound but meant for comfort. "I'm almost done. Just another second." "Don't stop," said the Pilot. DISAGREE, said the translator. The human made her amusement sound, and in only another moment, as promised, she withdrew her soft fingers. "I do not mind if I die," said the Pilot. "Not if you touched me that way toward the end. Not if I were not alone." The translator said nothing.

Some cute gorntegas headcanons cause I am so normal about this freaky little ship:

Gorn pilot is super protective of Erica, never hesitating to throw herself into danger to protect her little human.

The pilot has to be banned from the bridge, not cause no one trusts her but because she frequently backseat drives Erica’s flying resulting in everyone having to listen to their couples argument.

Erica loves cuddling with the pilot, Gorn are surprisingly warm.

One of their favorite pastimes is playing any kind of competitive game, whether it be virtual or physical.

The pilot has one hundred percent used Erica as a weight lift before, Erica tried the same one and almost ruined her spine.

Thinking about gorntegas. Specifically, about Erica not knowing the gorn pilots name she comes up with various nicknames and cycles through them.

Once they are rescued, yet before Uhura can incorporate the gorn language into the universal translators Erica is simply referring to her as Sweetheart, my love, babydoll, darling etc.
