    Summary

    So it went, as summer ripened in full and began to give way to fall, or the closest thing the bayou could offer. Eugene’s eyes were faraway in church, farther still whenever a well-meaning friend showed up at the door to ask him how he’d liked Europe, how glad he was to be back. He flinched when a neighbor fired off a shot at a duck or a gator and woke up in harsh, grating sobs that Maud could hear through the wall in the night, that she thought might break her heart in two.

    And then, one day, he stepped through the door at dinner time, and he wasn’t alone.

    ——

    Or, Eugene’s mother tries to reacquaint herself with her son and anything that could help him heal—which might just include Babe Heffron.

    Summary

    Praxus is a cesspit. Everyone who lives there knows it, everyone who works there knows it. To almost every other City-State it is a model, a paragon, a height of unparalleled beauty and values. The crystal garden help, so does the corruption on every level.

    Jazz wants to fix his home, in the best way he knows. Prowl just wants to survive, and leave this City better than it was when he got here. Except Praxus isn’t a safe place for honest mecha, and this may be harder than either of them thought it was.

    Every action has a consequence.

    Summary

    “Nice shot, man!” Jazz yells, Bebop’s speakers carrying his voice.

    The mech blinks at him and scowls. Which, wow, okay, it has a face. Mouth, eyes, a nose—the works. Well, one of the eyes isn’t lit up, but still. It can blink! Jazz couldn’t even get the clearance to have Bebop’s visor display emojis, and not for the lack of trying. Meanwhile, this guy gets a whole, expressive face and—holy shit, are those teeth?

    Summary

    There’s nothing—nothing at all. There’s nothing when there should be something—right? Vaguely, in the murky ink that his mind—is it his mind? Is he anything at all?—down below and in the farthest corner where he thinks he exists, he has the sense that he’s missing something. But he can’t hold onto the thought, the feeling always slipping through his fingers.

     

    He’s bobbing to-and-fro, swimming in the Nothing, but always going under with a crash of Something. The Something that tells him that something isn’t right. Try as he might, however, he can’t tell where the Nothing starts and ends. His mind—its melded itself to the walls of this lonesome state of nonbeing, making it difficult to think, to wake up. At least, he thinks—no, he’s pretty certain this isn’t how things used to be. It wouldn’t be nagging at him so badly if so, he thinks.

    Alone, with no memories and no name, a mech wakes up to discover himself a puppet of war. || Updates roughly once a month. ||
