Summary
The twilight of human sovereignty comes at the hands — rather, vines — of an astronomically more advanced alien civilization that guarantees peace, plenitude, and actualization for all self-aware beings inevitably brought under their custody (some of whom are also then made their adoring pets forever). In the wake of the treaty dissolving Earth's government and installing a petty protectorate in its place, an enlisted naval engineer turned human supremacist rebel is captured and delivered to an enigmatic new mistress.
What's missing from the picture of an obstinate pebble facing down the crashing wave of unavoidable change? What goes unspoken when the inconceivably vast spectacle of interstellar war and species-wide subjugation is condensed down to the head of a pin precariously balancing the interests of pet and owner? And what in all the stars is the meaning of TLC?

Summary
Originally titled 'My Peanut Gallery', this started as suppositions about nuclear yields and Affini physiology. It turned into a few hours journeying through an idea about loving complexity and details despite their inescapable ends. It's about the things we care for and the perspectives we can share. The parallels we draw and the crossings we mark with beautiful beginnings.

Summary
Elena lives in the Compact. She doesn't have to work, she has a compiler that'll spit out whatever fetish gear she fancies, and she's happily independent. Everything's going great — except her love life. She's bounced from relationship to relationship, and none seem to stick. No one's fault, things simply don't work out, and so she spends many a night alone, at home, wrapped up in latex and watching the lewdest streamer she can find.
Until she meets Ophrys Boquila, Third Bloom, at a game night hosted by a mutual friend. The fashionable affini, perhaps unusually, seems happy to merely date Elena, but Elena wonders if that can work. Affini are Affini, after all, and the urge to domesticate seem to be so deeply ingrained as to be unshakeable. What does it mean to let yourself fall in love with an affini like you would anyone else — and what will become of Elena if she does?
This story is a companion novel to Sui Generis and begins roughly around Chapter 13 of that story; you should read Sui Generis first if you haven't already!

Summary
A Terran researcher is abandoned and alone on a derelict ship orbiting a neutron star. Scrambling for her last breaths, something stranger pulls her out of certain oblivion.
Even while she witnesses a beneficent fate fall upon humanity, she's turned back to her special interest, pressed to pursue it. Much the same, she becomes the special interest, pressed by pursuit.
The deeper she is pulled in, the more her world expands. Familiarity with the unfamiliar. Songs in her heart she's never heard before. Words she cannot speak. Love and sorrow for those she's never met. A feeling that she loses and gains her true self simultaneously.

Summary
Greetings. My name is Imperata Ferrante, One Hundred Thirty Seventh Bloom—though bloom count loses its meaning after thirty thousand Terran years or so as a Compact science ship and about twenty times that in relative simulated time. Not that you would know what that is. Don't strain yourself.
I digress. In my countless millennia on the front line of our Great Work, I have had the privilege of hosting the very first Cotyledon Program for many species. Herein, I have summarized my findings in a simplified manner that lesser intelligences should find palatable. That’s you, little one!
