    Summary

    If ghosts were real, they would be registered as an extreme threat to clients, and the company would have given me a module on how to kill them. Whatever was in the collapsed mineshaft, there was no way it was a dead human.

    But it might still be an as-yet unknown threat.

    -

    99.99999% of the time, threats to a SecUnit's clients can be addressed with some amount of physical force, anywhere on the sliding scale from standing between two combatants to shooting the threat full of holes.

    The other 0.00001%, though? There's nothing about that in any of the learning modules.

    Summary

    SecUnit's camera went dark as it hit the ground. Its feed stopped. The last line it had transmitted was: "Unit Offline. Temporary shutdown."

    She had to get in there. She had to save it.

    Summary

    Bharadwaj's injury in the field is a reality check to Ayda in more ways than one. The survey planet is not as safe as its idyllic landscapes would appear.

    She can't try to forget PreservationAux's rental SecUnit anymore either, or ignore how human it actually is.

    Summary

    If I kept leaking, the various parts of me that needed blood and/or fluid would fail, or die off. A cubicle could refill my veins and replace broken or dead components, but I had to get back to a cubicle first.

    Summary

    SecUnit allows for a silence of about two seconds, before saying, “It’s me.” The simplicity of the statement, and its almost comical pointlessness, is enough to kickstart Ayda’s brain.

    “Yes, I see that.” She flattens her lips, though whether to fight a beaming grin or a boiling meltdown, even she isn’t sure.

    -

    When SecUnit disappears from its hotel room, Ayda doesn't expect to see it again. Then it turns up in her office.

    Summary

    I didn’t look directly at Seth, because intimidation wasn’t the purpose of showing him my face. But I saw that moment that all of my clients had; the recognition that they’d signed their life over to an entity that intended to guard it with trained and shackled monsters.

    Summary

    “You killed him!” Naomi, terrible Spanish accent learnt from the soap operas that Sally is now rather regretting allowing her to watch, accuses. “The man I married, the love of my life, is dead because of you!”

    For a moment, the train cabin is silent. Sally, absolutely mortified, prays to all the saints whose names she can remember that the vigilantes just decide to leave, but they instead sit there silently, staring at her granddaughter from behind their motionless masks.

    Then, Nightwing swings around in his seat to pin Red Hood with an outraged look.

    “You killed my husband?!”

    Summary

    “It just doesn't make sense,” Tseng said, shaking his head. “If you’re so hellbent on protecting him, why would you throw him into a wall?”

    “No, you don’t understand. I threw him gently.”

    For a second Tseng just stared at the man across the table from him, silver head bowed and expression serene as if he were saying the most normal thing in the world. Like he wasn't talking about actively bullying one of his subordinates in broad daylight. Like he wasn’t currently in an interrogation room being questioned by a Turk because his every action since returning to Shinra had been more than a few shades past bizarre. "Gently?" he repeated.

    Sephiroth nodded. “Yes.”

    Summary

    Zuko is seven when his mother first introduces him to the concoction of deadly poisons.

    (The palace sits on an intricately woven, fragile foundation of backstabbing snake-eyed councilmen; disloyal, mistreated servants who turn at a thumb of silver; cold-hearted royals wreathed in red and gold flames.

    Knowing how to slip nerium oleander into a nobleman’s stash of richly sweet sake, or learning the most effective mixtures of crushed herbs that ends in a boneless corpse at the rise of dawn won’t hurt the children raised by war.)

    She demonstrates more than once.

     

    or: ursa teaches him poisons, piandao teaches him swords, ozai teaches him silence, and azulon takes advantage.

    Summary

    The crew is broke.

    They don’t have enough money, or enough supplies, or enough rum in the galley, and Zuko is their captain. Uncle says they’ll figure something out at the next port, and that he should not worry about it because he’s “fourteen” and “too young” to do so.

    (He has never been too young for this. If he were too young, then he wouldn’t be scarred and scared and scouring the scorched globe for a century-old legend, and his father would be telling him to come home.)

    At the next port, he slips into town with another face plastered upon his own and two silver swords hefted across his back, and seeks gold.

     

    or: zuko learns and relearns, trespasses earth kingdom territory, commits contrary treason through paid murder, and gains friends.

    Summary

    A collection of joseph-centric micro fics.

    these are all over the place. Some more incomplete than others. wrote these all during fits of high stress. If that means anything. I just kinda wanted to collect them all in one place. I think of each of these as self-contained fics, they're not really meant to be connected in any way. the violence warning is for a later chapter- I'll flag it in the notes when it comes up o7
