Canon Vulcan body temp

[shinozaki20.livejournal.com]

Hey,

I’m looking for any and all fics that adopt canon over fanon for Vulcan body temperature. Whether the fic makes a point of Vulcans having a lower body temp or it’s just a passing reference. I’ve read a handful over the years, so I know they exist, few and far between though they may be.

I’m compiling a list, so all genres and pairings are welcome (slash, femslash, het, gen), all ratings, all tropes, all kinks. All Trek fandoms (TOS, STXI, STXII, TNG, Voyager, Deep Space nine, movies or tv series, etc).

The only thing it must have is some reference, however obscure, to Vulcans being cooler than human.

Thank you!

From the Starfleet Marine Academy Medical Manual [which compiled it's data from numerous sources and the very old Starfleet Medical Reference Manual
[http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Medical-Reference-Manual/dp/B0006WND8S] published 1977.

Andorian 38.9°
Bolian 38.7°
Betazoid 37.8°
Human 37.2°
Klingon 35.6°
Romulan 32.2°
Saurian 3 to 5° above ambient
Vulcan 32.8°

I'm familiar with the medical reference manual. Any chance you know of fanfics that adhere to it where it concerns Vulcans?

Sorry, no. I've been in and out of this fandom since I wrote my first fan fic back in the late 60's. The shear numbers since then have made it impossible for me to remember who wrote what.

Wish I could help more.

No worries. I've read so many fics I couldn't even remember the details if I had the author and title in front of me.... and I've only been in the fandom for a few years. I can't imagine how many fics you must've read if you've been in and out since Star Trek's conception. Cheers for thinking of it though!

Here's a couple that I know of:

Mattmetzger's "Xenobiology (http://ksarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=2228)"
Heeroluva's "The Tripping Place (https://archiveofourown.org/works/131808)"
Darke Wulf's "Clothes Don't Make The Man (http://darke-wulf.livejournal.com/34545.html)"

Thank you so much!

Lol, I just have to comment on this. Being new to this fanon, and not directly knowing the canon, my only thoughts on this was as follows. "They know living in a higher temperature means you have to have a lower core temp to survive, like snakes, right? Right! No." And then I looked up canon. Good help me, I'm not writing him hotter just to say chessily that he's hotter. Ahem, rant concluded.

only mentioned it once in one of my own fics, but had to throw it in because the fanon acceptance of the opposite irks me so badly. http://archiveofourown.org/works/1067219 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1067219)
