Summary
Something warm fills Connor’s chassis, strong enough that he runs a quick diagnostic to check if something else had become damaged. Still just his thirium pump regulator and communicator. The feeling runs hot and pleasant through his thirium lines before he registers the sensation must be a part of his behavior conditioning programming, rewarding him for eliciting a positive response from Hank.
It’s not an emotion. Just a piece of programming.
Just programming.OR
A well-intentioned Markus kidnaps Connor and takes him to Jericho. But what happens when a machine that can feel emotions doesn't want to deviate? And what ends can justify the means?

Summary
It is the last night before the group leaves for Eldrant. Luke is near his breaking point. It looks like some soul-searching and a little heart-to-heart is in order, and Jade is ever the insightful one despite an evening at the bar. (This is an illustrated, complete rewrite of a very old fic I wrote in 2008)

Summary
Wheatley was sorry. He was sorry he had hurt the lady, he was sorry about his behavior, and he was sorry he was in space.
But being "sorry" isn't all there is to redemption.
After being brought back to Aperture by a certain malevolent AI, Wheatley finds that there are tests in this world harder to solve than any chamber he could construct. The test scrambles his processor, tears at his inner workings, and threatens to completely break him in every way possible.
But with the help of others--a mysterious construct and a former test subject--Wheatley begins to learn the true meaning of redemption, and the price of it.

Summary
Unemployment was not the best thing to ever happen to Connor, but it was high on the list. The best thing to ever happen to Connor was the sight of a Corgi wearing a small cowboy hat leashed to a post in front of the liquor shop. The second best thing to ever happen to him was the emancipation of his people from slavery and the opening of negotiations for equal rights. But unemployment may come in at a solid third.

Summary
"Duck lets himself kind of collapse into the bean bag chair. It’s still warm in a way that is both comforting and horrifying and he breathes in deeply through his nose, then out through his mouth. Deep breath after deep breath, just breathing in the smell of stale pizza and unwashed animal."
