Summary
Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.
“Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”
V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.
or;
In Gabriel's final hours, he and V1 make a bet.

Summary
When New Peace is declared the machines are chased into Hell by humanity, somehow settling in comfortably alongside the sinners and carving out their own niche there. Meanwhile, King Minos succeeds in his renaissance of Lust, and two machines, V1 and V2, end up running a bar called 'Nuts 'n Bolts' for machines and sinners alike.
...and one archangel who is really bad at going incognito.
or;
The Bartender V1 AU where everyone is still in Hell and the occasional attempted murder still happens, but there's alcohol and Mindflayer strippers, so clearly we're in the good timeline, right?

Summary
"So, you are saying that this day will repeat ad nauseam until our willpower has been grounded down into utter compliance, destroying our capacity to commit violence and/or escape," Archangel Gabriel summarised.
"Yeah, pretty much," Mirage drawled. "It's kind of boring for the first few weeks before the insanity sets in, but after an indeterminable amount of time that depends on the individual, the general apathy numbs everything out and you snap back into sanity. Or deeper into insanity. Depends on your outlook, I guess."
or;
Mirage is used to existing in a perpetual loop of running late to a school she will never arrive at, resigned to a boring, slice-of-life existence that didn't really have any meaning. Then she runs into two outliers of the loops: a machine called V1 and an angel called Gabriel. Now the loops are a little interesting, even if it is refereeing/popcorning at these two attempting to kill each other around the loop's strict rules of "no killing" and "no violence allowed".
The loop really likes its slice-of-life fluff, okay.

Summary
A bunch of armored core 6 fic, all following my version of Raven who is mute and male. Shippiness with Rusty. Plenty of me crowbarring extra missions into the canon story since I want more between the characters. I'M GONNA BUILD A WHOLE GODDAMN GALAXY WITH THESE LORE CRUMBS. NO ONE CAN STOP ME.
also I ship Walter/Michigan and O'Keeffe/Flatwell so prepare for fics hinting at those (or just outright being like woe, smut be upon ye).
Current multichaptered fic is a Canon Divergence AU with viv621 ship as main focus. Diverges from Ch4 IBIS fight onwards, so strap on in for that.

Summary
V1 was a machine without a past and heading into nothingness, acting as the only thing he had been trying to run away from all along: Death itself. As the ultimate harbinger of death, he had no joy in life but terrorizing.
It took one angel to change everything, for the all-devouring machine of ultimate destruction to deem life as his most sacred thing. He knew he had changed forever when he saw love in blood, adoration in gold, and salvation in Gabriel’s presence. Logic and utility lost meaning before his gradient presence; his chuckles a strike against the emptiness of existence. The world was no longer to thrive in its destruction, but to gift it to Gabriel. Bullets stopped before his presence, cries of war turned into hymns.
Or maybe they had always been that way, only V1 was the enforcer of the fate he had been trying to run away from all along. But with an angel who taught him to live the life he had been trying to preserve for so long, maybe there waited a future where civilization thrived once more. Built just to make one angel happy—Gabriel didn’t have to know that detail.
Or: V1’s overwhelming love breaks him free from his fate, and he learns to value life to make Gabriel happy.

Summary
Sometime during their unstoppable descent into the realm of the damned, it became apparent to V1 that they are merely a chess piece, moving at the hands of an unseen player; one that is swiftly closing in on the other for a resounding checkmate. At the very end of Hell, Gabriel loses his final match with the machine that unwittingly broke the shackles he had noticed far too late.
Rather than putting an end to his existence, V1 instead takes the opportunity to shatter the board and stop the game.
In the aftermath, both machine and archangel are left standing in the settling dust of the collapsed echelons of creative order. But a scorched earth isn't always the end. Something will eventually grow from the ashes of utter destruction, if given the chance.

Summary
“Can you come over?”
“I’m sorry?” Koshimizu isn’t quite sure he heard the young man correctly. It’s not like him to make a request in general, nor to utter such vague words.
But something’s different today.
Koshimizu receives a phone call. He answers it and upholds a vow.
