Summary
We all deserve it. No matter what we've done.
Many Terran Accord Marines either fell in battle, or were taken by the Affini Compact. Only a lucky few have been able to retire. One such man finds himself under the microscope of a wellness check, and his case worker, a bright eyed and tendercored plant woman, ends up realizing just how fragile he is under his rock solid exterior, even if he won't admit it. But even the strongest end up breaking in the end... and it falls to her to help him realize he deserves a second chance.
Set in the Human Domestication Guide universe, a sci-fi setting where plant-like aliens subjugate humanity to make them into pets. All characters are 18+ by the time the story starts.

Summary
In this weighty gloom... a spark.
With the Terran Accord having surrendered to the Affini, all that remains is finding those Terrans that have yet to be domesticated. One such individual is a man wracked with enough trauma that it's a wonder he hasn't completely collapsed under his own guilt and shame, and he catches the eyes of a certain Affini. Behind this man's paranoid, scared visage is a soul desperate for stability... and with one Affini, he may yet have it.

Summary
Happiness is a warm, comfy place.
One of the hallmarks of the Affini Compact is letting xenosophonts hold and cuddle toys made of fluff and love. These plush toys are perfect snuggle buddies, but are typically inanimate. What happens when one such plush toy is not only alive, but also a floret, with a special way to calm those who are about to explode? One man on the brink of collapse gets a fluffs-on demonstration from her, and finally gets a chance to properly rest.
