Summary
Spot continues to squirm, until she succeeds in freeing herself from her owner’s grasp. Data stares at the place in his arms where she used to be, and feels strangely hollow inside. Briefly, he wonders if the emotion chip is malfunctioning, because he is aware of his sadness and discomfort and anger and fear, but in a distant sort of way, as if he is viewing them through gauze. He flexes his fingers against the air. He is exhausted, and he wants to go to bed, but his bed is rubble and his home is rubble and he feels like rubble, too, like a loose collection of broken pieces that will fall apart at the slightest touch.

Summary
Sometimes it's all too much.
(Or: "5 Times Data Has a Meltdown Alone and 1 Time He's Not Alone", aka "I wanted to hurt myself by writing meltdowns for Data")
Title from the song "Matthew 25:21" by the Mountain Goats. The song doesn't have much to do with the subject of this fic, but I love this line.

Summary
“He made us to be alive. To be sentient. He treated us like sons. When it was convenient. Only when it was convenient. I am not less perfect than Lore-and Lore was not less perfect than me. But I am here, and he is dead, because he was not given a chance to be anything but what he became.”

a timeline can be a haunted house by vibrantstarfire (chaoxfix)
Fandoms: DCU (Comics), Superboy (Comics)
02 Oct 2023

Summary
In the cosmic joke that is Kon-El's life, the universe pulled one final prank. The multiverse had itself a do-over, and decided to reset itself without Kon-El. It reset, and everyone he loved now lived a whole life without him. They remember a world where he never existed, never made an impact in their lives. It all would have been fine and dandy, too, if the universe had actually done the thing properly.
But Kon's still here, somehow. A ghost in the machine, carrying all the ghosts of his old timeline with him. Maybe it would be easier if he stayed away from all the people wearing his friends faces.
...Kon's taking the universe reset just fine, why do you ask?

Summary
SecUnit allows for a silence of about two seconds, before saying, “It’s me.” The simplicity of the statement, and its almost comical pointlessness, is enough to kickstart Ayda’s brain.
“Yes, I see that.” She flattens her lips, though whether to fight a beaming grin or a boiling meltdown, even she isn’t sure.
-
When SecUnit disappears from its hotel room, Ayda doesn't expect to see it again. Then it turns up in her office.

Summary
The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :)
Now with bonus chapters!
-
The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem.
Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.- Language:
