    Summary

    A series of works exploring Pin-Lee's friendship relationship mutual administrative assistance with Dr. Gurathin. Working together, socializing, mutual goading, all those kinds of things.

    Starts from their first meeting in Preservation and goes until... well, we'll see.

    Title is a reference to chapter 3 of "Indelible". And it's not that kind of hopeless. No actual whump here. But never forget that the Corporation Rim is terrible.

    (I am removing my note about number of works planned because the number just. Keeps. Growing!)

    Timeline ranging from 6 years pre-canon until All Systems Red/Season 1 of the show for certain.

    I have also started writing alternate points of view / missing scenes for these works! You can find them in Just in Case or else use Case by Case for recommended reading order.

    Summary

    Looking at things from (my take on) Gurathin's perspective. Pre-canon, during canon, way off-screen during canon, potentially even post-canon. It's all fair game.

    He is a cranky wet cat of a human who desperately needs a hug and will be going through it.

    There's some fluff, too.

    Summary

    Gurathin isn't very good at making his brain be quiet. But there is one thing that always helps...

    Thankfully, someone he knows in Preservation is a more-than-willing participant.

    *

    Redefining "sex", as one does in this fandom. And it isn't anonymous for Gurathin, because he knows exactly who his partner is.
