    Summary

    We all know the old joke: a rogue SecUnit walks into a bar. The bartender, a rogue ComfortUnit in hiding who's been having one hell of a day, takes one look at it and has a bad idea.

    Really. It's a terrible idea. Dragging a rogue SecUnit home for a one night stand is probably the most dangerous thing it's ever considered.

    Luckily, the rogue SecUnit in question is Three. And if Three knows one thing about itself, it's that it wants to help.

    Somewhere on Preservation, there's a tiny cabin on a big homestead, where stubborn purple flowers refuse to die. In the cabin, in the aftermath, a pair of equally stubborn constructs have an idea that, just maybe, isn't terrible at all.

    Summary

    The present me should feel disgusted by the mess SecUnit made on my deck, on my bulkhead, but I should also feel indifferent to SecUnit’s anger and ferocity, and I should be unaffected by the fluidity and grace of its violence—and I am not. I am so far from indifferent and unaffected that I have, instead, created new pathways within myself for the way I’m actually feeling.

    The breathless violence, the ruthless revenge—all for me. It is nothing short of mesmerizing. SecUnit is mesmerizing. I am enraptured.

     

    Or,

    ART processes the fragments of its memories from its deletion, and falls in love.

    Summary

    Ever since ART and I figured out we could effectively copy me, we’ve kept a backup of my kernel stored in its servers. That’s just good security protocol, especially after the time ART got deleted.

    The annoying part is that the duplication process is probably a kind of sex. Even though it’s nothing like human sex, if there was another way to get a viable result I’d probably prefer it. It’s not something either of us would do for fun. But nobody gets hurt if we’re really careful, so we are now.

    Life happens. People change. Like anyone, I occasionally need updates.
    It’s honestly not terrible.

    Summary

    SecUnit complains often about how self-determination is hard, but the alternative is worse.
    What if there was a safe little compromise?
