Summary
One cannot define grief as a solid entity; It shifts and changes like the tide, rising and falling, waxing and waning. Its unexpectedness rips off a layer of one's life like a band-aid, and an exposed underbelly is never pretty. J is no exception.

This World Couldn't See Us (old ver) by welike2party

Summary
V was often considered the most brutal of disassembly drones, taking great pleasure in dismantling workers as slowly and painfully as possible.
That all changes when she meets a worker unlike any other, one she quickly grows affectionate towards.
If anyone were to figure it out, it would mean certain death for her and the worker she'd grown oh so attached to.

Summary
For Serial Designation J, it's lonely being only effective disassembly drone in her sector of Copper-9. N was already a walking synergistic liability, but V couldn't be more obviously stressed and maladaptively coping if she tried. When a botched disassembly leaves V a nightmare-riddled wreck, the squad's effectiveness hits its lowest point. With disassemblers like these, you'd swear the worker drones show more initiative!
Uzi Doorman is a cool, independent worker drone. After Doll abandoned her, she doesn't need anyone else — all she needs is to finish her railgun and blow the murder drones anyway. Of course, if that plan goes wrong she'll be helpless at their mercy — dead, in other words.
Because J is a loyal drone. Locate, shutdown, disassemble. A simple directive she'd never hesitate to carry out. Right?

Summary
Suppression.
The conscious inhibition and ignoring of impulses, desires, or feelings that are deemed unacceptable.
Or:
With the universe saved and absolute solver destroyed, Uzi, N, and V, can live a normal life within the Copper-Nine colony. It's a good thing that nobody has feelings for anyone, and moving on will be easy.
...Right?

Summary
No sooner than Uzi had found the right energy pack for her rifle, one of the Murder Drones had arrived. Ducking behind a car, she used a shard of broken mirror to keep an eye on the Drone from safety, only to realize that it knew she was there. A crazed cackling filled the air as it leapt at her, knocking the rifle out of her hand and pushing Uzi back. A brief struggle later and Uzi held her rifle pointed at the short bobbed haired head of the drone and pulled the trigger, obliterating it. However moments later it started to reconstitute itself, and with her rifle recharging, Uzi looked around in desperation for something to use as a weapon...
Will add more tags as I progress.

Summary
After a near death experience, and a chance encounter, V meets a strange worker drone, unlike any she'd met before. In a moment of hesitance, she rejects her instinct, and spares the drone's life. As it turned out, the consequences of her choice were far greater than she could have ever expected, and V finds herself doing the one thing she'd promised she would never do again...
Get attached...
Would she be able to balance her newfound forbidden friendship with her role as an exterminator, or would she slip up, and have the weight of the world come tumbling down onto her?

Summary
Earth was blurry.
Memories are vivid, but scattered. They’re like shards of painted glass that couldn’t quite form a picture. Like a handful of puzzle pieces that were all different shapes, those of which a few could fit together reasonably, but the others… not so much. And that wasn’t even mentioning the rest of the box, which might as well be tossed into an ocean somewhere with a land-mine taped on it.
She remembers a time before the gentle coolness of oil down her throat. She remembers a time before life-blood became the basis of her temperature management. She remembers being shorter, smaller, and the sensation of glasses frames perched in front of her visor.
V knows she wasn’t always a disassembly drone.
Because V remembers the mansion.

Before, it was just protocol. A directive— a job. The Worker Drone scraps surrounding him were just that: empty scraps, oil-less. But now?…All he could see were corpses.
A story of choices and how those choices define us.

V isn't okay. That much is obvious and has always been obvious, but it only got worse after she died.
