A long, long time ago, @suedescripture sent me a prompt regarding sexually-inexperienced!Zach, and after a million years and a million false starts, I’ve finally got enough of a handle on it to start posting this thing. I have five chapters fully written, which should give me enough of a headstart to keep on top of this, fingers crossed. I hope you all enjoy! <33

Relationship: Chris Pine/Zachary Quinto

Summary: 

Zach is pushing 30, his career is at a standstill, and his sex life is–and has always been–nearly nonexistent. He doesn’t have much to be happy about, until he is welcomed into a group of actors who call themselves the Grimy Corp.

Okay, I’ve read it now, and gather round kids… it’s story time!

Oh, look!  Summer vacation wordplay list…any Bean want to take on suave sesquipedalian seduction on the beach? 

That moment when you can tell exactly which of your AO3 commenters are Tumblr Beans and which aren’t, based on whether they wrote “BERLIIIIN!!!!!” or “Berlin?”

The tally is now 5 to 2, and it’s cracking me up so much…

Though I suppose I should say “vintage tumblr beans” since the newer ones weren’t around for the mayhem that was the tinhatting of the STID press tour.  We may need @semperama or @suedescripture or @rabidchild67 to host a masterclass…

I have this dream of someday making a super-detailed Pinto timeline complete with links to interviews/pictures/etc. but it seems like it’d be so much work that I’m loathe to actually, like…start it. In the meantime, the Berlin tag over at @pintoinlove is a fun dive. Just be sure you’re ready for the overwhelming feels you will experience.

Excellent advice!
