Summary
The GT-2319 was a highly adaptive and controversial android. Could a machine heal mental scars better than a human ever could? Wasn't the idea of therapy based in human interactions, in human emotions?
How do you teach a machine to feel? How to care? How to love? All without it coming alive?
All without it scarring everyone else in the process?

Summary
Grian's wings rustle and shift behind him as he speaks; a soft, raspy susurrus of flexing feathers. Ruffle, smooth back out. Ruffle again; calami rising, spearing scarlet vanes through the air only to judder back down in a cascade of fluttering ripples.
It’s a foreign motion on him, and one that escapes translation entirely; Mumbo is still drawing the map behind these new, unconscious ticks Grian displays when he isn’t paying attention, and the effect is not unlike staggering at the bow of a ship cresting a surge. Stomach churning, queasy, the threat of a capsize hanging over their heads— somewhere between Grian’s abrupt disappearance from Evo and his miraculous, tentative return, he’d fractured into wholly unfamiliar fault lines.
The universe no longer quite makes sense. Grian no longer quite makes sense— although, really, when did he ever. All Mumbo can do now is hold steady course, and hope the rudder hasn’t broken out from underneath him.
Or: Grian has a question, and Mumbo stumbles through the answer.

Summary
AKA how Anakin may not have been able to free the slaves on Tatooine, but he could do this. He could do this. Now with an unexpected second chapter!!
~
“Let me try,” General Skywalker slowly took the place of the frustrated shiny that was having a go at coaxing the young Twi'lek out.
His General has never been a patient man, Rex thought absently as he prepared himself for the Jedi to call it quits and pass off extraction duty to some poor shiny.
A sharp sound shook Rex out of his thoughts. He focused on his General, who’s face softened despite the red flush creeping up his cheeks. He was speaking to the girl, Rex realized, in a language he had never heard before.
Anakin slowly brought the hand that was still resting inside the cave up and tapped his own chest twice.
“Skywalker,” Was all he said.
Any other time, Rex or Obi-Wan would give him a hard time about thinking he was so important that just his name would be enough to get this little girl out of the cave, but something was different. Something in the way that he said it, like it was a title more so than his last name, and in the way that the little girl gasped sharply from inside the cave.

OR

Summary
The convict- Simon. His name was Simon, and some part of Ava hated that she knew it now because The Convict was a criminal, a murderer - a butcher, some said.
But Simon - Simon - was a person, who had parents and had a childhood, and had a voice that shook and quivered and broke as it yelled at her through a shitty microphone - "You sent me to die down here, and you don't even know my name?" - and Simon was clever, and Simon's amalgamated ship of spare metal had somehow moved off their plotted map, and yet he had found the coordinates for the lost SM-8 and had begged her to set him free for it's data.
Simon - the one responsible for the destruction of the Filament Station, the one who's life was in her hands - was an enigma of data versus emotion in her brain.
Simon wasn't talking.

OR:
What if Ava got to Simon before the beast found them, and got them both (relatively) safely to the surface.
