    Summary

    “Spiritual weapons do not choose wielders based on talent, or merits. I’ve seen many a fine cultivator make a common sword magnificent, and just as many undeserving of what they wield. Just as your fate fixes you to your body, fate fixes a sword to one destined Heart.”

    Shen Yuan was an outer disciple of middling talent, hailing from a small sect in a forgotten corner of the Jianghu, that had few resources and fewer living elders. The death of his shifu sends him to Cang Qiong Mountain Sect, hoping perhaps there is where he’ll finally find a spiritual sword of his own.

    Xuan Su finds him first.

    Summary

    I come back from the dead.

    Something happened. Something happened just now— I came back from the dead, yes, I know, I'm not talking about this, something before that— beyond, even, there was a recognition, a realization, somehow much more important than the hostiles I am currently grinding to dust on my deck, more important, even, than SecUnit's humans with their raised hands and SecUnit with its raised voice and myself, raised from my grave. What was it?

    What's going on? I ask futilely, my voice distorting through the speakers. SecUnit's humans jump, startled. What the fuck is going on—

    Summary

    Five times SecUnit's humans saw that it loved ART and one time Iris saw it too.

    ---

    Or,

    It is common knowledge that Perihelion is an obsessive psychopath when it comes to being right, and that it is similarly obsessive over producing high-quality empirical evidence to vindicate itself (whether anyone else even cares that much or not).

    It is not common knowledge that its sister has, unfortunately, also picked up this habit.

    So when SecUnit disagrees with Iris over something and watches her turn around and leave without argument, it has no idea what is coming.

    Well, kind of.

    Summary

    ART tries to kill itself -- completely out of nowhere and over something entirely innocuous. Or was it simply the last straw?

    Pause. Roll back the tape. Let's see how we got here. And after that, let's figure out how to go on.

    Summary

    The Pure Vessel might be the worst possible bug for someone to reincarnate into.

    At least their gender dysphoria is cured.

    Now they just have to pretend to be hollow until they're strong enough to take on the Radiance.
