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.

Micro updates with syntax fixes, illustrations for chapter 6 are up :)

Summary
Looking back, Uzi would be able to pinpoint the exact moment that the weird, tentative friendship she’d somehow fallen into with N turned into a crush. Four words. Her downfall came on the back of four damn words.
“I like your railgun,” N said with that tiny smile of his.
(or, N is a Copper-9 drone who arrives at Outpost 3 after his outpost is destroyed by murder drones, and Uzi makes a new friend)

Summary
The Celestial Cathedral was one he’d only ever seen photos of. The architecture was grand and sweeping and elaborate, all pointed arches and carved columns and flying buttresses. Its spires stretched high into the sky. Bursts of color in indistinct stained-glass windows dotted the massive building.
Thousands of humans and drones alike gathered here to worship their goddess. N had never been one of them.
J called it a freaky cult. Seeing the celebrations filling the streets for blocks in every direction around it, N was inclined to agree. These people were already celebrating his death.
(or, every year, a drone is sacrificed to the Absolute Solver. this year, it's N)

Summary
Nori crashed to the ground hard enough to make her vision glitch wildly. She barely had time to move before the monster had pounced on her, fanged grin split gruesomely wide. Its tail flicked up, and a scream was punched from her voice box as its syringe pierced through her torso.
The burning sting of its nanite acid was immediate and all-consuming. Her voice went choppy as her system overloaded from the pain.
(or, Nori gets attacked by a murder drone and it goes exactly as you'd expect—until it doesn't)

Summary
He found himself pinned in place by the dozen eyes protruding like cameras from Cyn’s body. His voice box seized, rendering him mute.
“Hello, N,” Cyn said. “I have scared you.”
He nodded minutely.
All those appendages sort of… sagged. “My apologies. I suppose it could not be helped. But I hope you know I would not hurt you.”
He’d known that about fifteen minutes ago. But there were a lot of things N thought he knew that were really being called into question right now.
(in which N finds himself in the position of being the only person a monster cares about)

“Confused shuffle,” she said, wringing her hands against her chest. “Why are you helping me?”
He paused, then shifted the basket to one hand. “Tessa and V and J are my family, and family looks out for each other. And I want you to be my family too. If, if you want, I mean.” He could feel his eyes hollow and squint in a mix of hope and self-consciousness. N held out his hand in offer.
Cyn’s eyes flicked between his hand and his face for a long moment. “Family,” she repeated. “I’ve never had…” She hesitantly took his hand. “Yes, I would like to be your family.”
(five times N was there for Cyn, and one time Cyn returned the favor)

Summary
“You can’t trust her,” Tessa said urgently. “I don’t know what she’s told you, but she—wait, did you call me Cyn?”
“Here we go…”
Tessa sighed in relief. It was a misunderstanding. “Okay, there’s been a mix-up. I’m not Cyn, I—my name is Tessa.”
“Suuure it is,” the drone said, amused.

Summary
“Sorry for leaving you all hangin’!” Tessa said to them, drawing their attention. She didn’t seem to feel the tangible distance held between them. “As you can see, I was working on a surprise!”
The pigtailed drone scoffed at the sight of N. “Another one? Really, Tessa?”
He shrank further behind her, clutching a handful of her dress. Her hand landed gently on his shoulder, squeezing reassuringly.
“Aw, don’t be like that, J! This is N, and he’s a bit younger than you girls, so I expect you to help him out if he needs it."
(in which N is the youngest of the manor drones, and Cyn is the bestest, most normal big sister ever)

Summary
N stepped to the edge of the nest and leaned down so he could nuzzle into her cheek. “Feelin’ itchy?” he asked lightly. He already knew the answer.
Uzi peeked one eye open at him, the oval replaced by a narrow slit. He waited.
“Yeah,” she grumbled. Her massive feathered wings rustled, and she heaved herself more into the middle of the nest.
(or, Uzi's wings grow back feathered after an accident)

Summary
Tessa wavered in place even as J rushed from the room. Her parents or N. The parents who had a child because it was expected of them, or her first friend. The parents who never seemed to stop scolding her, or the beloved brother who never failed to make her smile. The parents who left cuts and bruises on her skin, or the drone who faithfully patched them up.
It was really no choice at all.
(or, Tessa and N navigate the apocalypse after Tessa rescues N instead of confronting Cyn at the gala)

Summary
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know till just now, I didn’t realize—”
“Realize what, N?” She hesitated, wavering in place—heart rate spiking, then settling just as fast—before touching him.
He let her push his shoulders until he’d uncurled enough for them to be face to face.
“I’m hungry, Tessa,” N said miserably.
(or, the progression of N and Tessa getting used to his new cravings)

Summary
“I’m scared what you’ll think of me,” he finally said. “But, I’ve just… I feel like I’ll explode if I don’t tell someone.” He rolled his head to face her, eyes hollow with nerves.
“I could never think poorly of you.”
He smiled, small but real. She wondered what he’d think if she told him her secrets. On nights like these, it took all her self control to silence her voice box.
With a heavy exhale, N shyly admitted, “I guess I’m just… tired. Of how humans treat us. And I’ve really been trying not to, but lately, sometimes I get super frustrated.”
(or, what if N wasn’t quite able to brush off the abuse and mistreatment from humans)
• this is a standalone one-shot that should mostly work on its own without knowledge of the main story. it is NOT canon to the main story. it’s an AU of my own AU •

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.

Summary
My fingers wade through an endless ashen river, wide and free, my leprosy yours. I found it by the 'way, alone, my self, myself, my soul, my sole, dying, festering, hungry. I reach the end, and found myself wanton. I return to the top, and wade again, and again, your endless bounty a miracle on my lips. My love, my renewal, my sea. Perhaps, if I wade a thousand more times, my curse shall leave me be.
In that moment, as she hunched to the ground, clutching her stomach in a vice, Thad didn't see a monster nor urban legend.
He couldn't help but think her growls of hunger sounded like cries of pain.

“What even is despair to you?”
Junko never asks her this, because Junko thinks she knows. But Makoto asks her. Makoto is the only one who asks her.
Mukuro doesn't answer him, but she knows the answer by heart.
Junko Enoshima was my hope, she could say. And when she left me, all that was left was despair.
But what does it matter? Why should she say it?
No one would believe her. Not even Junko.
