Summary
This is the story of two French boys who meet only under the cover of darkness, their lives interweaving and becoming one through music, liquor, discourse and dance in the bustling everyday of early-1990s Paris. It starts by one getting punched out by the other, God bless. Pre-Homework era AU. [Two-parter, mostly fluff, extremely NSFW in the second part.]

Summary
I am standing behind the bed, looking down at you with a smile on my face. My left hand is pulling the covers tight around your form, mindful that you won’t catch a chill, and with my other hand I am pressing the cold tip of an electric drill against your face with my finger tight on the trigger. [Thomas POV, NSFW, not safe for mind, deconstruction of the Automaton and Unrequited AUs, fairly horrific violence. Please read all warnings before proceeding.]

Summary
Post-Electroma. Guy detonates Thomas, walks away, and turns himself in to the authorities. While waiting for a trial that may or may not come, he must hope for a great deal of things - but most important, he must hope that justice will be blind. An exploration of human justice, morality, suicide and personhood. [Guy POV, heavily angsty, really not a light read. Please heed warnings in tags.]

Summary
Every emotion and experience is an illness of life, if you think about it.
That applies to all persons, human or not. Ten short DP stories dealing with said illnesses, whether good, bad, or inevitable. [Warnings/POVs vary with each story. Odd numbers human!DP, evens robot!DP.]CURRENT UPDATE: 'II. Juvenilia', a posthumanist fairytale featuring robots, who come to inherit the Earth and the opposing forces governing it. Inspired by francoisehardy's art of Thomas and Guy (which you should totally check out). More notes inside.

Summary
Don't leave me.
An AU based on a real event; suppose that during that fateful night of 1994, only one of them survived the oncoming truck. Suddenly faced with a grief that he is in no way prepared to accept, the one left behind begins to write a diary of mourning, hoping that something valuable will come of it.
But no one ever said that healing was that straightforward.[Thomas/Guy, extremely depressing, not a light read. But I guarantee that it will be worth it. NSFW in parts.]

Summary
There will come a time when we see through a glass clearly.
After a lengthy upgrade session, the robots take time off to relax.
It'll be the last time for a while, after all. They wouldn't want to miss anything.[Requested by @trianghouls. Thank you for inspiring my first DP fic in a while!
Robot!Thomas/Guy, NSFW, sweetbitter philosophy. Also hides a little surprise.]Series

Summary
I suppose this is the correct time to post this.
[The scene retelling of Electroma where 'Guy' picks up what's left of 'Thomas'.
The scene 'Epilogue' omits, in other words. Thomas/Guy, Guy POV, short and simple. It was an honour to fandom with you all.]Series
