    Summary

    Set in GlitchyRobo's Human Domestication Guide setting.

    Humanity has been invaded by a precursor race of hypercompetent plant dommes called the Affini, and forcibly given paradise in a post-scarcity culture that heavily prioritizes the care for its protectorates, to the point of drugging and mind-controlling them into a blissful reverie if necessary. For almost everyone this is a vast improvement. All that's required is to give up any silly notions that anyone except for the Affini know what's best for everyone; in many cases the poor things clearly don't.


    Charlie Fitzgerald has seen too many instances of moving fast and breaking things to trust the green tide that swept across her city after the aliens came, and in particular, the magic mystery box in her kitchen. They said it could compile anything. She didn't believe them.

    A short one-shot ventfic about a news item I found particularly distasteful. No formatting tricks or anything this time. I'm just writing.

    My contribution to the September Sprout Scribblings jam.

    Summary

    Konrad Iversen will never forgive himself for his crimes, but perhaps the Affini will be more than happy to, assuming he is willing to let go of everything he is.
