  3. Summary

    Michael is terrified.
    no. That is incorrect. Michael is always terrified, and in this way it becomes the norm—a low level sickness of sorts, in every shaking hand, in every quick glance to make sure no one’s looking.

    Michael is terrified.
    it can feel the fractal-spiral-angular-swirling mess of thoughts in what it might have called a brain, perhaps, if it had an identity to begin with. It does not, it lies to itself, and thus perpetuates its own horror.

    Michael is terrified.
    But it wasn’t like there was any other option.

     

    Title from the mind electric because it is the quintessential distortion song and you cannot tell me otherwise

    Summary

    Most people who were unlucky enough to meet Jonathan Sims assumed he had no friends. This was true, up to a point two months after Jon became a researcher at the Magnus Institute: afterwards Jon had no friends, except for Sasha James.

    In which Timothy Stoker is attributable to a fake dating scheme, Gerry Keay is attributable to witchcraft, Martin Blackwood is attributable to an ill-advised crush, and Daisy Tonner is attributable to soulmates.

    And in which Sasha James is attributable to arson.

    Summary

    “It is a connection to family.” She says at some point. “The sight of a Vulcan woman’s hair unconstrained is reserved for mates and familiar relatives only. With the slight constant mental connection between all Vulcans, this is one way of maintaining privacy.”

    Kirk smiles lightly. “I bet it must feel nice then, going to visit your family. You get to put your hair down, relax a bit.”

    “Vulcans do not feel anything, Captain.” Spock replies.

    He is wrong in other ways. She does not correct them.

    OR:

    Spock has spent her entire life with a physical reminder that she will never be accepted. The Enterprise changes some things.

    Summary

    While dealing with combat bots and a communication breakdown on an abandoned station, everyone's favorite SecUnit encounters an away team of some unidentifiable humans and their SecUnit. Oddly enough, the symbol of the corporation they belong to is one it doesn't recognize: a weird kind of triangle shape they wear on their colored uniforms.
    Away team to Voyager: one more to beam up with us, please.

    Summary

    On a corporate owned mining asteroid in the depths of the Corporation Rim, a group of plucky, heroic, indentured humans have just decided to make their first move in a daring escape plan. Said first move is a deceptively simple hack, putting control of their corporate overlords' single, overworked SecUnit into their hands.

    Little do they know, this murderbot is already hacked.
