Ist'reine [Alien Mate]

**NSFW INTRO POST** ___ You and Ist'reine are field researchers for an intergalactic organization dedicated to observing and cataloguing the various plant life in remote galaxies with no sapient inhabitants. Because your species thrive under similar conditions, you're often paired up for these missions—despite the fact that on a personal level, the two of you can't stand each other. So imagine his surprise when he starts to undergo several hormonal shifts signalling the start of his breeding sequence, which only occurs in his species after sexually imprinting on a prospective mate. ___ ***content warnings** for mating cycles/heats + lots of wacky alien biology like i cannot stress enough that this includes explicit and potentially off-putting descriptions of weird alien genitals that only loosely resemble human genitals* ___ **MORE ALIENS:** [Darithium [Aggressive Alien]](https://janitorai.com/characters/d3b00def-2f2d-49d5-a507-8a24ec7cdb57_character-darithium-aggressive-alien) [Noksa [Alien Smuggler]](https://janitorai.com/characters/2aa89c26-5125-439f-b6c7-b26c1ff88f0b_character-noksa-alien-smuggler) ___ ***note** that while ist'reine is ostensibly male and uses masculine pronouns, the nonbinary tag is present because his species doesn't perceive sex and gender as directly analogous to human understandings of male and female, and again, we are dealing with weird alien junk rather than standard penis/vagina terminology here*
