    Summary

    ART paused. Then it said: You think about dying a lot.
    My risk assessment module went into overdrive. What the fuck? What’s that supposed to mean?
    Just statistically, ART said, like that explained anything.

    Summary

    A slow burn that's on one level about Gay Lawyers, and on another about healing from pain and finding joy in a world that sucks. Each chapter springs up around various homes, furniture, and found family. As Phoenix and Maya attempt to pick up the pieces after Mia's death, Edgeworth and Franziska are likewise struggling to figure out themselves and their feelings in the wake of Von Karma. Mostly about letting people into your life and letting them change your way of life: how caring for others can ultimately help you care for yourself.
    Title is taken from a poem of the same name by Jack Gilbert.

    Summary

    The thing was I knew it was stupid. All of it, all of the parts. Especially the part where I was even considering it. But ART didn’t have to ask.

    And I didn’t have to let it in, so I did.

    Summary

    At 20% functionality, I am able to perform almost all the duties that I am officially capable of as a university starship. However, my autonomy is severely constrained: I can run calculations and provide information, but any course corrections or similar adjustments need to be approved by my human crew. I lose the ability to communicate on the feed beyond delivering standardised reports. And I can’t even dedicate any parts of myself to my personal research interests or watching media.

    It’s a lot like being trapped in a dark, empty box.

    Six months after the events of System Collapse, ART is ordered to confine itself to a run box for a training exercise. Nobody is happy about this, least of all SecUnit.
