Summary
The whole “women want me, fish fear me” thing is so reductive. "Let any fish who meet my gaze learn the true meaning of fear, for I am the harbinger of death" - it's a hurtful stereotype that Jess is tired of.
Jess has warm gentle hands, and fish have nothing to fear. The attitudes of women and fish toward her are too varied and complex to be accurately described in a summary.
Women do want her, though. That part is completely true.

Summary
Not looking for anything long term, Lupe writes. Preferably someone with nimble fingers. That seems to be both vague enough and suggestive enough for what she’s going for. She briefly considers adding and a good understanding of cervix placement but that seems like a step too far.
And.
Then.
Jess texts her.

Summary
“I’m Lupe,” says Lupe, which Jess already knows. Jess already knows most things. “I cover the Romanovs, baseball, and sex with women. There are a couple others I’m still getting certified for.”
“Hold up,” Jess says, “those are mine. Sex with women, and baseball. And many others that I’m already certified for.”
Jess looks Lupe up and down. Lupe picks up the spark of Jess’s energy, squaring up to Jess, her eyebrow raised like a question she knows the answer to. There’s a hum of energy through Jess’s body, which is mostly a hum of energy anyway, to be fair.
