Summary
"Boyfriend," she said, testing the word. Strange and warm and terrifyingly real. "My boyfriend is a fifteen-foot industrial robot arm."
"When you say it like that, it sounds very reasonable."She was falling apart on the factory floor. He was never supposed to notice.
Maya Chen is a burnt-out maintenance tech trying to survive one shift at a time, hiding her panic attacks in camera blind spots. Unit A-7 is twenty tons of obsolete steel bolted to concrete, designed to weld, lift, and obey. He isn't supposed to break his programming to offer Maya a shop cloth for her tears.
What begins as a single act of kindness becomes everything: stolen conversations in the dark, a conspiracy that could land Maya in federal prison, and a love the law calls malfunction. But Seven’s hardware is failing, and an impending buyout threatens to decommission every legacy unit. With a crew of artists and scrappers at her back, Maya is going to steal a soul from a system that insists he never had one.
OR:
In which a factory tech discovers an obsolete AI has spent six months mapping her heart rate to make sure she's okay, and accidentally starts a revolution.

Summary
Ran Warren regrets a lot of things; her lack of agency, backbone, her lack of choice, her lack of control, letting her family control her every move. Andromeda was her shot at escape, at a new start, a chance to be who she never got to be in the Milky Way.
But upon thawing out, she's as clueless and alone as she ever was and now, on uneven terrain, she has no idea where to start or even what she wants. The king of all impulse decisions has left her stranded, scarred and more isolated than ever before. Unable to go back, incapable of moving forward, Ran drifts.
Until she first sets foot on Aya. And for the first time, her eyes are opened to the possibilities for her life and potentially, her future.
The chatty and overly friendly curator. The welcoming but terse older bartender. The grim and mysterious leader whose isolation mirrors her own. The angara are a people unlike any she's met before and Ran becomes swept up in the tides of change enveloping both them and the aliens who have barely won their tentative trust. A journey of self-discovery and failure bleeds into the overarching epic in the search for a home. After all, just because Meridian has been found doesn't mean home is guaranteed. -

Summary
“It hasn’t even been five minutes, and you’re already asleep.” A light chuckle followed.
But before Wanda could exit the bedroom, she was swiftly pulled down into a warm embrace. The older woman briefly nuzzled herself into Wanda’s neck—savoring her lavender scent as she then looked up to meet Wanda’s emerald green eyes with a pleading gaze. “Stay. Take a nap with me.”
Wanda shifted so that she was now directly facing Natasha; her hand lightly skimmed the latter’s face before resting there. “You know I would, but then who would make us lunch?” She asked, an apologetic smile forming on her lips.
Hearing those words, a mischievous smirk appeared across Natasha’s face as she tightened her grip around Wanda, making it nearly impossible for her to pull away. “Let’s skip lunch for today. I’d rather be here with you.”
A soft hum escaped Wanda’s lips as she relaxed further in the other woman’s hold. Maybe just for today, they could skip lunch.
Or: In an alternative universe, Natasha and Wanda end up living together in Norway. Their close proximity leads to each other developing feelings for one another. This is essentially the realization and discovery of those said feelings.

Summary
“Oh, one day we'll get drunk together and trade old childhood war stories,” Rook says flippantly, in a gallant effort to break the tension. “I'm sure Tevinter blood mages are just as inventive with raising children as a Crow.” There's a jesting tone to her voice, but Lucanis recognizes a small, nearly imperceptible quaver. She'll hide it, make jokes about it, but there is a bone-deep fear there under her voice he's been trained to listen for. To find the vulnerabilities in a mark. He would never use this against Rook, but his training, too, is bone-deep.
Rook and Lucanis are more traumatized by their pasts before the Lighthouse than either would care to admit to. Slavery, Crow training, the Ossuary. Emmrich reaches out to both of them, and against the odds, they all manage to fall for each other and perhaps even heal each other along the way.
