it's gen, it's het, it's slash, it's a floor wax!
Summary: Cold and flu season, like many other things, sucks more in space.
Warnings: A for Angst. The astute reader will notice that I hardly ever warn for angst, and might then imagine I mean rather a *lot* of angst. That's your warning. All sales final.
Special thanks to
cesperanza for beta ("You're at about an eight, and I need you at about a four...") and as per usual to
marythefan for encouragement and general evil ("What, you think I'm going to tell you *not* to do it?")

YES, this is what contact with other peoples would result in, did result in, and how much do I love that you brought up the Americas - I, oh, god. Forgive the run-on. I don't know how you could handle going there. I hate that you wrote this, but I thank you, too. This story just rocked me.
