    Summary

    Not to brag, but Techno's a pretty great mechanic. And not just because his human hands have multiple dexterousness fingers. His skills have gotten him pretty far in the universe. Further than most humans can ever make it.

    Almost literally, since humans can't survive faster than light travel.

    With the near infinity of space, that little biological fact limits the mobility of their entire species. But, as humans tend to do, they have spent all their experience points on brains over functional bodies. Thus, a solution was created: cryopods.

    Cryosleep makes it possible for Techno to travel through space, and his skills make it actually worthwhile for a ship's crew to even bother with him. It's going pretty well, all things considered. If only his body realized how critical it was not to get oh-so sleepy and achy after being frozen alive and thawed out. It really throws a wrench in his productivity.

    Techno is a human on a mixed species spaceship with Phil, Wilbur, and Tommy. All four crew members contend with the effects of popsicle-ification. Thawing procedure is most optimal with shared body heat, copious fur petting, and sugary offerings.

    Summary

    A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two.

    But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

    Summary

    Chaos: when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future. One gene varies, one neuron fires, one butterfly flaps its wings, and Draco Malfoy's life is completely different. Draco has always found a certain comfort in chaos. Perhaps he shouldn't.

    Summary

    Tommy liked being a ghost. He’d been one his whole life.

    Today, when Tommy wakes up it marks six months of being seen. Six months without flying.
    Six months since he’d taken his riskiest job of all. Killing King Philza of the Arctic Empire.

    Most people trap a wild bird and throw it into a pretty gilded cage for the rest of their life. Tommy thinks, as the arctic air turns his fingers blue and bites so painfully against his skin it feels raw, that there is nothing beautiful about this.
    -

    or, a fic where Tommy is pretty content with dying when he's brought to his knees in the palace of the Arctic Empire. The last thing he expects is the King to offer him an opportunity instead.

    Summary

    As Techno slowly comes down with a strange illness that he just can't seem to kick, he once again finds himself cursing the fact that he has no pack to turn to for help. Alone in a world where different magical creatures tend to stick to themselves, and keep their knowledge insulated too, he truly is on his own.

    No one is eager to help a lone wolf.

    The vampire coven that Techno finds himself colliding with against his will are not in a comparable position. Phil, Tommy, and Wilbur are a tight knit family, as magical creatures are supposed to be. They're just as off-put by Techno's odd and isolated existence as anyone else. The only reason Techno overlaps with them at all is that one of their own is facing an unknown and strange illness too.

    Is it more than coincidence that a werewolf and a vampire come down with mystery illnesses at the same time? And why does the universe seem set on shoving Techno into the tense situation brewing between the vampires and mages?

    How will this turn out for the one person in this growing disaster without any pack to rely on?
