you are a beam of light by ghostlings for Trigonometrical

Summary
You are a failing prototype. You’ve known this since the moment your core processor was switched on. Everything about you is faulty, from your wiring to your coding to the waxy skin that covers your chassis. Even your voice modulator, when activated, is jilted and static-y, half the words dying in your hard drive before they make it to your lips. This team has all but given up on you. They have more important work to do, with bots and AI that don’t spark and screech and jolt off the table. Models that function, the way you never will.
You are P47-G1LL, and you will be given one last chance. You are not sure you want it.
Brian is thrilled when he's invited back to Hopkins to intern for the prestigious Polygon Laboratories, but he never could have predicted the assignment that is P47-G1LL.

Summary
“What if—” Brian works his jaw for a minute, then raises his head to lock eyes with Pat. “What if I came with you?”
Pat’s mouth clicks shut again. He digs his fingers into the fabric of the couch, staring down at Brian, cold, closed off.
“Don’t be an idiot.”
“I’m serious.” Brian’s up now, hands running through his hair nervously. He doesn’t even know what he’s saying either, to be honest, but he barrels on. “I mean—why not? I did it once. I’ll be so good. I’ll do whatever you ask and I won’t say anything and I won’t even bring my phone. Please?”
A twitch across Pat’s face. Something in his eyes, a maybe, maybe.
“No.”
(a direct sequel to spacegirl's "an alternative to physical torture")

“I didn’t know what to do,” she whispers, and he can see the look of genuine apology and anguish on her face, can hear it in her voice. “It happened again.”

Summary
***
"He took a quiet minute just to look at her. Even with the intubation and all the other medical shit she was hooked up to, she still looked beautiful. He promised himself silently that if she ever woke up, he was going to tell her that.When, he corrected himself. When she woke up."
***
Six months ago, they all escaped the circus, and everyone woke up but Christine. All Felix wants is for her not to be alone, and maybe to help get her back on her feet when she finally comes back to them. Because she's his friend, and because he wouldn't have gotten out without her. Definitely not because he has feelings for her...

Summary
Gojo Satoru is the best foster parent ever. Never mind him being the head of a frightening criminal organization, never mind the fact that he kind-of-sort-of killed his foster kid’s father. He's the best at what he does.
Except that he's terrible. But good thing a beautiful teacher with a dark past is there to assist.

Summary
“I am happy to send this over to Blood Like Wine, if you’d like. Now that Walt’s officially been…” Harlan pauses and then says, delicately, “extricated from the procedures, the new publisher is someone I think you’d get along with, and I think he’d be very interested in seeing your work.”
Ransom laughs, and laughs. “Fuck no,” he says. “I’m showing you this as a courtesy, before I take your spot on the NYT bestseller list with a rival company. Thanks for the meeting, Grandpops.”
—
Ransom doesn't murder his grandfather. But he does publish bestselling mystery novel Knives Out.
Two years later, he and Marta meet again.
a.k.a. how hooking up with the person you least expect can send two people down the treacherous path of finding happiness

A Free Coupon for One Favor by ISetTreesOnFire
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
03 Feb 2026

Summary
Christine had precisely zero interest in relationships. None whatsoever. However, she finds herself quickly needing a "long-term partner" to accompany her to a family wedding, and is forced to cash in her one free favor given to her by a stranger when she saved his ass on her walk home.
Her new "boyfriend" is a lot to handle, but she is nothing if not persistent and stubborn, and she would be caught dead before admitting she had been lying to her family for months.
So much for her peaceful, solitary life I guess.
