    Summary

    Inspired by heroic myths and legends, a young slugcat has left her colony in the Outer Expanse in search of adventure. Her travels turn out to be a lot less of a ''hero's journey'' though and more of a ''getting-snacked-on-by-every-creature-you-come-across hike.''

    But as she attempts to scurry back home with her tail between her legs, the slugcat comes across a strange creature the likes of which no one's ever seen before. It moves weird, it sounds weird, it only has hair growing from the top of its head, and it has this unnatural desire to ''pet'' everything.

    With the gate to the Outer Expanse closed off, and danger lurking around every corner, the two begin to form a bond as they travel together towards the giant superstructure in the distance. In a world as cruel and unforgiving as this one, perhaps the only thing that may last is an unexpected friendship between two creatures strayed far beyond.

    Summary

    He looks down at himself. He looked just like the rest of them… but he was different. He knew this now. Their old world was nothing like his, and he was nothing like them.

    They had lived in cages, but he was born into a world. His life would never be like theirs.

    Summary

    The pinnacle of Iterator technology, one of the most ambitious projects the Benefactors have ever undertaken: the Spacefarers.
    Two Iterators, far removed from the rain and its brutal consequences, an incredible feat of engineering, built with the goal of gaining a new perspective on the Great Problem.
    Or at least, that was the idea - you see, things rarely go smoothly in this world, and this is no exception.

    When Delayed Event Broadcast awoke, he found himself alone - disconnected; from his Administrator, from the surface, from his systems - dysfunctional, crippled, and missing the memories that could tell him why.
    Perhaps Unexpected Response would help him - they were part of the same superstructure, after all. But maybe he could fix it himself. Maybe he could fix everything?
    Questions, answers, accidents, disasters, stories from the very beginning to the end of every flicker of warmth, it all passes given enough time.
    Perhaps when it all starts over, our wreckage will carry a mountain?

    Summary

    Presumed dead, half-finished, and abandoned, Flocks to the South awoke only to find her superstructure in critical condition. She was left to puzzle together her purpose without guidance or direction. Her journey of survival would take her through a complete reconstruction of herself, in more ways than one. Through modification, pain, trial and error, she must find a way to hang onto what little she had left. She wanted it so badly. Flocks wanted to live. But a fire cannot rage without kindling, and she was the only one left to burn.

    (FAULTY RECONSTRUCT - A journey of desperation, anger, recovery, and change. Maybe one day it will all mean so much more, but for now: Endure.)

    Summary

    Iterators were built to last, to iterate for an eternity and longer to solve the great problem. The creation of Shifting Gales didn't follow that dogma, its acidic consequences at last having breached her veins, corroding her now from the inside out.

    Cursed to waste away slowly, until dissolving into nothingness.

    Gales' local group didn't accept the cruelty of fate, of the Ancients' distant mockery, and halted their primary objective to help their friend in peril.
    As they worked tirelessly on a solution a small, soon-to-be glowing, Slugcat was purposed to fulfil a crucial mission.

    Summary

    The Void Fluid Revolution was an epoch of progress. An age of scientific discoveries, never seen before. - The Void Fluid Revolution was an age ruled by bloodshed.
    The tribal Ancients, formerly a loosely unified collective of similar interests, were blinded by the possibilities of the golden liquid, overwhelmed by the technological leap of many centuries over the minuscule span of a few Major Cycles.
    They forgot their roots and formed Houses to extort the world with no regard for the karmic virtues. And their numbers started dwindling. Reincarnations found themselves reborn in the forms of lower beings, punished for their hubris and neglect. Fewer and fewer remained, incapable on their own to withstand the freezing nature of their dying planet.

    It was a godless era, consumed by greed and ambition.

    The Ancients direly required something to believe in, something to remind them of their neglected past. A gaze back at the Great Problem, the strife for ascension.

    The House of String took it upon themselves to find that certain something - To research and construct the certain somebody to guide them - Iterator.

    Summary

    He’d be fine with that if it meant Suns wouldn’t get dragged into all of this. He’d shoulder the burden with pride. But that’s the kicker, isn’t it? This has all happened because he loves them, this has all happened because they love him; the punishment they’re both being served isn’t because they’ve done wrong, it isn’t because they broke rules related to the Five Urges, Void it even isn’t because they gave up on finding a Solution as soon as someone else did. They are being punished because they love each other. And according to the People that’s wrong.

    ~

    A fic in which No Significant Harassment accepts his punishment for the crime of daring to be in love with someone he shouldn't be. A sequel to 'I Like You A Lot' and a direct continuation of 'Consequences' but you don't need to read those to enjoy this! This was going to be a one shot but somehow became it's own AU with its own worldbuilding, lore, backstory and three chapters, oops! Updates whenever <3

    Summary

    Weighty with Titles and Adornments, the Ancients enjoy declaring their Spiritual Superiority over the Beasts of the land, high above on the backs of the divine Iterators, high above the slums they perch upon. That is acceptable. Some must Succumb to the Vices so others may Succeed; not all can achieve high Enlightenment. Many are content to remain in the middle State of inoffensive Indifference.
    Those who Threaten the peace, however, Steeped in the five karmic sins most Foul... They must go.

    Summary

    The Superior Maintainers of Five Pebbles and No Significant Harassment have noticed that something is up with their iterators. Five Pebbles' can is warmer than usual, and he has resorted to keeping affectionate messages in pearls. Meanwhile No Significant Harassment has been leaving his can for extended periods of time and has been acting more… Excitable? Giddy?

    This was out of line and made the two Ancients believe this was interfering with their iterators' greater purpose. And after all, things out of line had to be put back into it.

    Meanwhile, Five Pebbles was doing the usual work; serving his citizens, researching and taking notes, chatting with No Significant Harassment face to face.

    Wait.

    A recount of Auditor's life, for the purpose of enjoyment and also possibly for side tangents for the sake of character development. It's canon when I say so, lol. Just playing around. Don't judge too harshly, please :).

    Summary

    Fate of Boundless inquiry, a meticulous and friendly iterator is struck with a dilemma that distracts her from the usual work. At first it seems to be some kind of mild disturbance that would pass within the cycle but later unravels to be much more dire than expected. Putting her friends at the mercy of the cycle.

    To solve her issue and gather some information about what she's dealing with, fate quickly creates a special slugcat specifically engineered for reconnaissance, The Infiltrator.

    The benefactors seemed to have left Fate and her friends more than one problem they couldn't fix themselves...

    This is a fun little fic I'm making! It features a lot of symbolism and a very thorough plotline. Chapters average about three thousand words and will be released periodically (or when I deem they are ready). I don't have the highest level of writing experience, but I do know where I'm going and how I'm going to get there.
