Summary
“What the—” Jay began, sitting back up, though she realised her mistake when Gillion whimpered as his body forced itself to growth again. “Fuck, okay, sorry, I’m—do you want me to lay back down?” Vision swimming, Gillion got himself to nod. “Okay.”
She did. Gillion’s arm burned where it was thrown around her. His bones felt like they’d broken and regrown wrong. His organs felt beaten tender. His veins itched, warning of danger.
And of course Jay understood. She had always been the smartest of the bunch. “You know, when you said you’re five-one when no one’s looking at you, you could’ve clarified that that wasn’t a joke.”
It was said with love, of course. As everything she said was. It meant you idiot, you could’ve saved yourself so much trouble. Why do you never save yourself trouble you don’t need to be in?
Gillion made himself breathe, fighting the ugly creak of his ribs as his chest expanded. “It wasn’t.”

Or: As a survival instinct, Gillion grows taller when he is perceived. It sucks.

Summary
It's 1982, and Aperture Science has made a breakthrough in the development of AI, having successfully completed the first ever artificial duplication of a human mind. The prototype speaks and thinks just like its progenitor, the scatterbrained yet determined Doctor Wheatley, but the question remains: is the digital copy truly the same as the human it believes itself to be? Is it happy to exist as it does? And why does it insist on being treated like a person?
Well, there's only one way to find out. It's time to test. And test. And test. And test.

Summary
No-one had ever said anything nice about his wings before. When his dad had seen them for the first time he’d said oh, Jesus Christ and walked out of the room. The first time they’d taken him to the doctor’s office the doctor had looked over his brand new stubby little wings and taken some measurements and said things like we’ll start you on a low dose of the medication and in about six months you can come back to be fitted for a harness. Kids at school said stuff like weirdo and freak of nature.
Yeah. He was content to sit there and indulge Doc and let him ramble on about evolution and skeletal structures. It wasn’t so bad.
Around 1% of the population has wings. Through the wonders of modern medicine, a mix of medication and specialised clothing can be used to conceal this aberrant feature until such a time as they can be surgically removed.
Marty found out, the hard way, that wings ran in his family when he was almost thirteen.

Summary
“The compass,” he starts. “It’s been moving differently. It doesn’t work as well anymore.”
Niklaus leans forward greedily. “Where is it pointing to?”
Chip stays silent.
“Let me rephrase myself,” says Niklaus. “Who is it pointing to?”
A coral crown, a wide grin, the arc of a broadsword slicing through air—
“Gill,” Chip rasps out, fingernails digging white crescents into the backs of his hands. “It’s pointing to Gillion.”-
Caught at the crossroads of desire, Chip has his mind set on finding the Black Rose pirates. But his heart tells a different story, and when he’s trapped in a time loop that resets upon Gillion's death, he’ll be forced to reckon with his own feelings — one way or another.

“He knows this room. He knows where he is. He was built here. He lives here.
