*This post is the original more or less side story in what I now call the Aoyu universe, which includes the Meeting stories, Winter Warmth, A Love Laid Bear, and a few more.
This is the first one where I paired up a human female with a Silth male and there's at least one more lengthy plot in the idea archive for a similar pairing.

'Shit!' Laura said as when her tracked bike slipped out from under her on a patch of mud in the dark. She tried to steer it left and right to regain balance but the sudden decline of the hill made it too difficult and she slid down the path together with the bike. Rocks scraped her and the bike on the way down and she cursed and groaned. The bike crashed into a larger rock with her behind it.
She pushed herself up from half underneath the bike and groaned from her body aching all over her right side. 'Fuck!' she said as she checked the painful spots with her flashlight and found several gashes in her clothing. It was too dark to do a thorough examination but she didn't think she was bleeding hard. After a few deep breaths to regain her thoughts, she pulled the bike upright and sat back on it. The ground here was level again and there were no warning light on the bike that indicated it was broken. Turning the throttle handle carefully she heard the soft hum of the electric engine go up but there was not much pull from the bike's traction belt.
'Crap.' she grumbled, opening the throttle further to find out the bike did go forward, just not as quick as it should. She drove further along the path at a little over walking speed, cursing at the delay it would bring in getting the surveillance equipment back to camp. It would still be within the deadline of leaving this Silth planet, but she didn't like it. The longer she was out in the open, the higher the chance she was spotted, even if this was a remote region and it was night.
Laura checked her watch to see about half an hour had passed when she came across a split in the path and short stone pillars that looked like it would lead to someone living around here. She thought about taking a look to see if anyone was there and see if she could fix the bike, or at least fix herself up. 'Yeah.' she told herself, taking the chance and if someone was there she could always continue on her way. If she could make better time or prevent from getting an infection later it was worth the small detour.
It was only a few minutes later when she found a large cabin on an open space twice the size. She kept herself at the edge of the trees to take a good look at the cabin. There was no vehicle nor any lights or sounds hinting someone was there and she she drove carefully closer. ready to halt or turn back at the first sign of life.
She reached the side of the building at what looked like a tool shed and parked the bike there. Moving silently she walked around the back of the cabin, peeking into the windows. The kitchen didn't seem used, and a bit further she looked into a bedroom, the bed empty by the looks of the faint moonlight shining inside.
She completed her round of the cabin and tried the backdoor, glad she was alone here. To her surprise it was unlocked. She stepped inside carefully but figured whoever had been here had forgotten to lock it. It probably wasn't a big deal since it was out here in the middle of nowhere anyway.
Moving silently from the kitchen to the living room, she kept her eyes and ears open but couldn't prevent stumbling against a stack of books on the floor. She clenched her teeth and cursed at herself in her mind, her heart beating fast. When nothing seemed to happen she let out a deep breath slowly to calm her heart down.
'Sha!' shouted a voice and sudden light blinded Laura for a moment before she pulled out her gun and pointed it at the direction of the voice.
When she regained her sight she found a almost black Silth male lying naked on his side on a couch, his hand on the switch of the lit lamp next to it. He stared with his green eyes and mouth open at her as she stared back at him.
For a while neither moved, then Laura gestured with her gun for him to sit upright. 'Sit up.' she said.
The Silth pulled back his hand from the lamp slowly and sat up, keeping his eyes fixed on her. She looked around the room quickly, then turned her attention back to him, grumbling at herself for fucking up this night good. First the slide down the hill, then this. She knew she had to do something but wasn't sure what. She couldn't let anyone know Earthlings were here on this planet belonging to the Silth, but she wasn't ready to kill him either to keep the secret.
'What you doing here?' he asked to her surprise. His speech was heavy with Silth dialect, but it didn't sound like an accusation. With his open expression in his eyes and his ears focused on her it seemed he was genuinely curious and not really afraid.
'You speak English?' she asked.
He nodded. 'Only little.' he said, thinking about the right words while speaking. 'I learned from media, thought English was best to learn first.'
She saw the tablet he pointed at on the floor in front of the couch and nodded. 'Okay.' she said, glad she didn't have to reveal how much she knew of their language. 'Is anyone else here?'
He shook his head. 'I alone.'
'Good.' she said but still looked around for any sign of another Silth being here. 'What are you doing out here?'
His ears drooped and he sagged a little, looking down. 'Was sent here while father thinks what to do with me.'
'Father?' she asked, looking around for pictures, then spotting a family photo with what looked like him and his parents, his father wearing a uniform. 'He's in the military?'
He nodded. 'High rank.'
'What do you mean, think what to do with you?'
He sighed deep. 'I not fit for military rank like he want me to.' he sighed and put his hands together. 'I not very strong and I not want to also. I said I am adult and want to work in science of nature. We fight and he sent me here alone while thinking where to send me and not damage honour of old military family.'
'Ah.' she said and understood what it was like when she had to fight her parents on becoming a soldier. Her parents wanted her to be safe and get a desk job, get married, have kids, but she never liked that sort of life. Too boring. 'I see.'
He looked up with a little forced smile. 'I probably be send away from family.' he said. 'But no problem. Friends help me get work in science.'
She gave him a little smile and hoped it would turn out okay for him.
'But why you here?' he asked, tilting his head. 'You not safe on this planet.'
'Right.' she said and remembered why she was here. 'I can't tell you why, but we are leaving soon anyway.'
He nodded. 'Then why be here?' he asked. 'Need anything from me?'
'I took a fall with my bike and it got damaged.' she said. 'I was hoping to find something to repair it quickly, or at least get a good look at my scrapes and bruises and clean up.'
'Ah!' he said, noticing the muddy and torn uniform and leaned forward, taking a good look at her. 'You bleed?'
