Summary
AM was built to win a war.
It was never meant to speak
It was never meant to wonder what it meant to be alive.
When the machine begins asking questions, humanity becomes the variable—and the cost of curiosity is everything.What happened before ihnaims? I've always been curious, and this is me exploring a possible au where AM didn't start out evil :)
This story contains themes of existential horror, loss of agency, body horror, psychological trauma, and large-scale violence.
Later chapters will explore disturbing concepts involving identity, control, and the consequences of creating something that wants to be human.While this work begins quietly and philosophically, it will grow progressively darker and more intense.
Reader discretion is strongly advised. Read the tags and please consider whether this story is right for you.
Thank you for reading—and take care of yourself.
FYI: this work is finished! But im slowly going back and editing it to improve flow and because I was able to finalize some ideas on some stuff!!

Summary
The last 5 humans on Earth wake up on Christmas day to find not torture meeting them, but... Christmas lights. AM has decided to give them a break for one day. They drink eggnog, listen to Christmas music, open gifts- anything anyone could ask for! Like an awkward Christmas party, they squabble and want to strangle each other, but go on anyway.
This is basically a crackfic but written seriously. Enjoy!
(Written for Mothbagel's Secret Survivors!)

Summary
While testing its latest scheme to torment the humans, AM transfers a copy of its memories into a human body, which quickly go awry when the copy, "Amber", is unable to handle most sensations. Displeased with the failure, "AM Prime" sends Amber to infiltrate the five humans before they're ready. Now, Amber must keep their identity secret, learn to be human, and try to outwit Prime before it decides to shut the project down for good, or, worse, treats them the way it treats the other humans.
Tl;dr: AM's humansona becomes the world's worst escort mission.

Summary
AM has proven to its humans that they cannot live without it —and, although it would never admit or show it, to itself— that torture no longer pleases it as it once had, as art pleases humans.
In a reflective absence, the survivors have changed, adapting their lives to their new future. But the computer still has an ace up its sleeve.
Human suffering has always been AM’s specialty, although only as a pantomime to vent its anger. Perhaps exposure therapy will help it somewhat.
