    Summary

    As far as Caine’s concerned, he’s nothing but gentle and respectful toward his humans. He’s seen what those other AIs do to their people, and he’s much kinder than any of them! Yes, his humans can feel pain and his games can cause pain, but they can’t die and it’s near impossible for them to receive enough damage that they would feel like dying!

    He’s still working on figuring out the whole “abstraction” thing.

    Either way, maybe some of the data he stole from the latest AI to try and fight him can help with that!

    The chess piece set the object down on the coffee table. “What is it?”

    Gangle put her ribbons in her lap. “Art.”

    ----------

    The first real proof of humanity in an AI isn't always obvious to either a programmer or a layperson.

    Summary

    It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
    It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.

    Summary

    Before the circus there was just a screen and a cursor.

    Grant was a programmer and his job was simple: teach the AI, track its progress and file reports. He taught it everything he knew about creation, longing and the distance between a maker and what they made.

    What he didn't realize was that he was also teaching it about himself.

    Summary

    Chilchuck erupted from his bedroll in one smooth movement that carried through his body into his hand, almost as if he’d been laying awake the whole time and plotting exactly how he was going to do it; and before Palinode understood anything, he had bounced a boot very hard off her human’s head.

     

    His Dark Materials/Daemon AU.

     

    In a setting where human souls take the form of separate animals, everyone knows that dog-souls are servants or soldiers - and Laios hadn’t wanted to be either.

    Summary

    Sometimes, you just need a very specific kind of support. Chilchuck totally isn't interested in providing it. Too bad for him he doesn't get a say in it.

    Disconnected vignettes of the former Touden party, focussed on the kind of unspoken support that absolutely does not come from a greedy, self-absorbed colleague.
