    Summary

    Incomplete fragments. Imperfect halves. A man who is not quite the sum of his parts. If you pressed hard enough on your reflection, could you hold its hand? Read the words carefully written on the palm? Is this progress you’re making? Deciphering meaning and assigning value to nails painted, small kindnesses and a conversation in color? Or are you just foolishly, selfishly driving you and your other halves deeper and deeper into this revolving hell?

    Or,

    For so long, Soul has had nothing. No glimpse of Whole save for the nails he paints for him. A small kindness from what he could be. Whole doesn’t intend this to open up anything more, but it’s not quite up to him. When his half uses his kindness to communicate.

    Summary

    You weren't a technician, you weren't a security guard, you weren't a daycare assistant. You're just an employee. Staff. The ‘jack-of-all-trades’ employee with mediocre at best skills and specialty in none, tasked with doing miscellaneous jobs that robots couldn't do and human staff couldn't care to. The job is unpredictable, but it pays good and it's relatively easy.

    Except for the part where all the animatronics are more sentient than you thought, and you're roped into a mystery surrounding the Daycare Attendants, who are bit too curious about you for your liking.

    You don't think this was in your employee contact.

    Summary

    Yes. Wilbur had to bite his tongue to keep the answer from spilling out of his mouth, because yes he wanted more. Of course he wanted more. He wanted to be more than the bastard prince. He wanted to be more than a mistake his mother made before she married Tommy’s father.

    But that wasn’t the role he had been cast for in his life.

    “It doesn’t matter,” Wilbur said instead. “When Tommy turns eighteen he’ll be crowned King, and I will be his advisor. He’ll be a good king, I’ll make sure of it.”

    or, as the bastard prince of the planet of Eldingvegr, Wilbur has always known he was never meant for greatness. That was his younger brother's destiny. Wilbur's job was simply to try and make sure Tommy could fulfill that destiny.

    That becomes decidedly more difficult when the brothers are betrayed, and are forced to flee their home planet. With the Essempi Empire being one of the largest imperial powers in the universe, the only place that can offer them refuge from Emperor Dream is Zephys IV—capital planet of the Antarctic Empire, ruled by the ruthless Emperor Philza.
