  1. Summary

    A collection of one shots written for the 2020 Symbruary prompts, with a focus mostly on hosts/symbiotes that I think are underrepresented in canon and fandom.

  2. Summary

    Dr. Dora Skirth was able to successfully bond with the symbiote her ex-boss sicced on her. Now what's left is to navigate her new life, which involves herself and her children adjusting to some drastic changes.

    But Dora isn't the only one whose life has been turned upside down. It seems that those she and Eddie Brock come into contact with will have their fair share of issues, ones that previously may have seemed...alien to them.

    Summary

    “You probably do not think this is cruel,” GLaDOS says suddenly, not taking her gaze from the mouse for a second, “After all, you have such enormous capacity for cruelty, I doubt you can recognise mistreatment even when it is right before your eyes. However, a normal human with basic abilities of empathy, love, and compassion, would correctly identify my treatment of this animal as cruel.”

    Chell says nothing.

    “However, if this experiment were to be submitted to an ethics committee, it would receive full approval. Cruelty, in and of itself, is not wholly banned in science, after all. It is simply needless cruelty, the kind you excel in, that is not permitted. What I am doing is necessary for testing conditions. What I do is the only way for knowledge to progress.”
    --
    Chell, GLaDOS, and the end of the world.
