    Summary

    “This is private property.”

    Her head snaps up, eyes narrowed as her lips curl into a snarl. “No shit? I thought this was a public fucking park.”

    Joel levels a glare at the kid as he loads the washer. “It ain’t. These machines are for residents, not runaways.”

    “I’m not a fucking runaway,” she snaps, squaring her shoulders and drawing her backpack closer. “And I am a resident. Kid of the week for the Jenkins. You know, the people who live in 3E?”

    “And the Jenkins have you down here doin’ laundry after school every day?” he asks with incredulity.

    She glances around the room, a uniquely teenage disdain in her sneer as she surveys the silent machines. “Obviously.”

    Summary

    By week five, she’s recovered and trusted enough to start taking short walks on her own, though she doesn’t miss how Joel almost always “happens” to be on the porch when she gets back, always giving her a quick once-over as if she’s gotten into something dangerous in the ten minutes she walked around without him. She rolls her eyes at it and grumbles to keep up appearances, but she can’t help liking it, just a little bit. She went three days of being so sick that she was unable to leave her bed in FEDRA when she was nine without anyone noticing. Now she thinks she’d be lucky to get a sneeze under the radar. It’s a lot, kind of, having someone so attentive.

    …but it’s also pretty fucking nice.

    Less nice is trying to find her feet in this new life, which requires all sorts of things she never knew she didn’t know.

    Such as cracking an egg, apparently.

    Summary

    When Rey is gifted a state-of-the-art all-house AI to beta-test, she never expected "Kylo" to become her best friend, and she never expected him do anything within his power to give her the winter holiday she's always wanted.

    Ben probably should have included more error handling while designing his new AI.

    Summary

    Ellie knows before she’s even told that the woman is a former FEDRA officer. There’s a way she carries herself that raises Ellie’s hackles at once, makes her stand up straighter, makes her hyper-aware of the dirt on her shoes and the way her ponytail is slipping out, both infractions that would be punishable under FEDRA regulations.

    In an instant, Ellie knows they’re destined to hate each other.

    Summary

    She thinks, sometimes, about just asking him. She and Joel talk about pretty much anything between them. Hell, he even talked her down through the bathroom door when she got her first period after arriving back in Jackson and was convinced she was dying because there was so much blood. A man who can talk about uterine lining and cycles and heavy flows without being a little bitch about it is a man who can talk about almost anything.

    And yet, every single time she starts to open her mouth, she just hears his voice from the one time he did tell her exactly what they are.

    Or well, what they aren’t.

    You aren’t my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad.

    In the end, well.

    It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
