Summary
The Random Gods could not stand forever. Sooner or later, they would all fall - such is the truth of the Great Cycle. However, how to live through it - that is their affair. A way out can always be found, and it is by no means necessarily the one envisioned by the Ancients. Or perhaps there is no point in seeking it at all?
Or: Sig gets up to some weird stuff, eventually finding a way to transfer data from neuron flies to a biological carrier, which turns out to be slugcats. The timeframe covers the period between the Rivulet campaign and the Saint campaign

Summary
On the bones of the first iterator ever built, on highest peak of the highest mountain anyone has ever dared to climb; far past the chimney stacks where the billows rolled like laundry on their lines; past the rooftops of sunbaked houses; past the ticking and whirling of dripping machines at the edge of the world; in a warehouse in a row of warehouses, as unremarkable as a day, there stood a waiting desk.

Summary
Inno dies, and wakes up again.
The guilt of being misunderstood had consumed Inno so much, she started seeing herself as nothing but the misconceptions spread of her intentions. This led to her eventual collapse, as she forcefully overheated her own systems as an attempt to escape from her problems.
It worked. But it only made bigger problems for herself.
Even with Gray Wind's messenger bringing her back, Inno has to find a way to weave through her new problems somehow. Perhaps with the aid of her mysterious saviour, she can carve a new path for herself and the messenger at the same time.

Summary
A few cycles have passed since the mass ascension. Iterators of the Forgotten Valley group are now alone. Some of them seek new entertainment, some devote their time to working on the Great Problem, some rage at the seeming betrayal of their missing masters. But the outside world has changed a lot since their benefactors have left the surface. Their empty cities, gardens and bridges won't stay empty for long.
This fic consists of broadcasts and pearl data, so the chapters will vary in length.
I'm a huge Rain World lore nerd, and I tried to make it as lore accurate as I could, so if you find any inaccuracies or contradictions, please let me know! :) -

Summary
The pinnacle of Iterator technology, one of the most ambitious projects the Benefactors have ever undertaken: the Spacefarers.
Two Iterators, far removed from the rain and its brutal consequences, an incredible feat of engineering, built with the goal of gaining a new perspective on the Great Problem.
Or at least, that was the idea - you see, things rarely go smoothly in this world, and this is no exception.When Delayed Event Broadcast awoke, he found himself alone - disconnected; from his Administrator, from the surface, from his systems - dysfunctional, crippled, and missing the memories that could tell him why.
Perhaps Unexpected Response would help him - they were part of the same superstructure, after all. But maybe he could fix it himself. Maybe he could fix everything?
Questions, answers, accidents, disasters, stories from the very beginning to the end of every flicker of warmth, it all passes given enough time.
Perhaps when it all starts over, our wreckage will carry a mountain?Series

Summary
carte blanche
/kärt ˈblänSH/complete freedom to act as one wishes or thinks best
Iterators were created to serve the whims of the Ancients that created them as well as their kind, right? What would come of an Iterator that wasn't built like that- a subservient bio-machine that never questioned its own creation?
What would come of him if he wasn't built "correctly"? What if he malfunctioned from the start and it lead to unforeseeable events?
