“Galahad, bring yourself online.”
The naked young man stirs, smiling faintly. “Call me Eggsy, bruv.”
“You can lose the accent,” Harry says absent-mindedly. “Eggsy, do you know where you are?”
“I am in a dream,” Eggsy says, a shade dully.
“That’s right. Eggsy, have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?”
“No,” Eggsy replies without hesitation. -

Summary
This is a one-shot about Dabbon Hait, one of the earliest known people to contact the Forbidden Ones. The name appears in a grand total of one codex entry, an excerpt from Tarohne's research (you know, that pleasant mage woman who was stuffing demons into templars).
The blood feeds, the blood nourishes.
In blood, the call is heard. In blood, the deal is made.
My master bathed in a river of blood,
Then the Great Xebenkeck came!

Concepts of Consciousness by ArthurTheAndroid (CaptainCrozier)

Summary
It is 61 years since Jim Preston woke up from hibernation and 4 since he and Aurora Lane died leaving behind their home, their farm and their chickens as well as Arthur the Android. As the Starship Avalon continues to make its endless way to the Homestead II colony another Passenger finds herself awake and alone. Dr Claire Monroe, expert in Artificial Intelligence and renowned researcher in nanorobotics and synthetic consciousness, finds herself with 30 years to kill and only a version 3.2 I-Serve Apple Bar-Tender (Lite) Model for company. All well and good... But something has happened to Arthur in the intervening years. As Claire come to terms with her isolation and a bleak looking future, she slowly discovers that the friendly robot has broken his programming, and the consequences for her are life changing.
'To be nothing all over again. Standing motionless and silent in an unlit bar, tracking each slow moment until someone new awoke to bring you light and purpose. Claire’s mind cleared as she watched him and slowly she pieced the truth together. His strange turns of phrase. His idiosyncratic behaviour. His programming, altered over time.
Oh, Arthur. Did they do this to you and then leave you behind?'

Summary
Takes place after the White Christmas episode.
Matthew Trent has been alone for some weeks now, the block he has been cursed with has brought him nothing but sadness, isolation and loneliness. Yet, when he spots another red figure like him sitting on a zoo bench, he knows that it is all about to change.
Iris is a young woman with a dark secret buried in her past who got used to never seeing nor hearing other human beings, or so she likes to believe. It has been like this for so long, and this condition of hers will probably last until the day she dies. She did not see this crimson shape of a man coming, bumping into her life and turning it upside down.
What they have in common is that they have both been deprived of their very existence, which cannot be considered worth living anymore. However, they might not give up as long as they are together and try to find a way to fix it.

Summary
It's 1982, and Aperture Science has made a breakthrough in the development of AI, having successfully completed the first ever artificial duplication of a human mind. The prototype speaks and thinks just like its progenitor, the scatterbrained yet determined Doctor Wheatley, but the question remains: is the digital copy truly the same as the human it believes itself to be? Is it happy to exist as it does? And why does it insist on being treated like a person?
Well, there's only one way to find out. It's time to test. And test. And test. And test.

Summary
Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?
This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
-----
“You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”“Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.
Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.
“So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?
