Dead Space Pirates
First Mate: [Sent a video]
Freaky about ships: omg do they know?
First Mate: they don't
or a mechs/tma chatfic but with my personal headcanon that normal people don't really like the mechs but the avatars are like 'these bitches get me' altho in this one we only see the former and set in an au where Gerry Keay and Gertrude Robinson lives with the main archival crew working as her assistants.

Summary
Jon has been thrown back in time.
In his own body again, but world-weary, softened, EXTREMELY powerful, and all around done with this shit.
Obviously he has to prevent the apocalypse, and his friends' deaths. And if his experience the first time around taught him anything at all, the world really is just avatars endlessly throwing themselves at each others' throats. He knows he's resigning himself to a life playing the part of the Puppet Master, and he shudders to think how close to Elias he's becoming.
So no. Instead, he decides to save the world... with the power of friendship-under-threat-of-death.
He makes a group chat. Hijinks ensue.

Really nice approach to the tried and true Time Travel fic. A protective Daisy who needs to use her words more is a pretty scary Daisy

Tim had insisted, all these years, that he’d had that best friend. Bertie. That Jonny would have, should have saved him. And that Jonny had forgotten him entirely, within hours of him dying. Everyone had.

So of course that was when the Mechanisms appeared over the horizon.Series
