Summary
The words left him before he could stop himself. "What's up with your whole- gender thing?"
Aw, shit. Jax's face burned, and he clenched his jaw, refusing to look up. He shouldn't have asked. There was no reason for him to ask.
He felt Zooble's gaze on him, curious and guarded. There was a pause. "That's pretty vague, Jax."
"You know," he muttered, waving a hand. Embarrassed. Always embarrassed. "The, uh- they/them thing."
---
Post-abstraction and post-Pomni bringing him back, Jax has a conversation with Zooble that forces him to confront something about himself that he doesn't quite know how to deal with, much less admit to someone. Not even Pomni.

The Way That It Has To Be by Clatter_pillar

Summary
When a petty joke from the suggestion box gets twisted up into an entirely new adventure by Caine, the entire cast has their genders swapped for the day: the boys are girls, the girls are boys, and Zooble is—well, Zooble with a hue shift.
For most, it’s awkward, and maybe a little bit funny in places. All they have to do is coach each other through a series of whatever Caine’s ideas on stereotypical, 'gendered activities' are, and they’ll go back to normal.
For Jax, however…
It’s perhaps a bit of an eye-opener.
(Or: In a move that surprises everyone but makes complete sense in hindsight, it turns out that Jax actually is an egg that needs to be cracked open.)

In This or Any Other Life by Clatter_pillar

Summary
On the final precipice of abstraction, Jax—against all reason, against all impossibility—glimpses the view from halfway down before he gives himself the chance to jump. The fall, after all, seems much worse when you’ve been given a better sense for what happens when you hit the ground. For better or worse, Jax now has his whole life ahead of him (or, at least, whatever counts as a life for a brain scan).
But it’s one thing, to decide that you don’t want to die. It’s another thing entirely to decide that you want to live.
(Or: It takes something like a miracle to stop Jax from abstracting. Fortunately, it just takes a hell of a lot of work to get her to figure out everything else.)

Summary
The first time she wakes up, she’s alone.
It takes months, years, maybe decades. She's not sure at all. But patience and mercy finally take effect, and Jax finds herself waking up in a blanket fort, static fading from her mind, and people waiting for her outside.
