What's a computer geek to do when his sys-admin job becomes so boring that not even making life hell for the users on his network seems like fun anymore? Run away to space, of course! Now Allard's stuck on a spaceship with another very hunky man—and he's about to discover that even wise-cracking geeks like him have sex lives. And thanks to a voyeuristic crewmate, so are the rest of their sexy shipmates. Publisher's Note: Contains explicit sexual scenes that may be offensive to some readers.

On the spaceship Mary Sue, Allard's finally found a job he likes, colleagues he likes—and a man he more than likes. Just how far is he prepared to go for the man he loves?

Because geeks have sex lives too... A renegade sysadmin looking for a way out of his boring job, Allard's escaped to space. Now he's on the Mary Sue, a spaceship with a slightly nutty crew of syndicalists who have an even more malevolent attitude toward traditional management structures than he does. Much to his surprise, Allard's found co-workers he actually likes, and a man he more than likes. Now Allard and his new love are getting married. But who's going to be the bride, and who the groom? And what will Mark wear? When the fitting's done, the parents settled, and the sex games are over, they'll be glad they found something blue.

Is green beer best reserved for green aliens? What sort of rings do leprechauns wear—and where? And, above all, Does Everybody Want To Shag The Irish—and what do you do about it if you're Welsh? St Patrick's Day novelette in the Syndicate series, previously published by Loose Id but now out of print in that edition. Futuristic erotic romance, romantic comedy, m/m, 9,000 words.
