<blockquote>Daphne and Osgood, from Havana to Tijuana and back again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>What happens when a disembodied AI and her amorphous slime best friend get a synthesized body to experiment with? To start with....mammal bodies are weird. But also: they're kind of fun. </blockquote>

<blockquote>The past month and a half had been no saga, no epic journey worthy of telling. He’d believed that what was happening to him would be the rest of his life. It hadn’t. Nusuth; a wave of a hand, to recreate the snow untrodden. Therem survives crossing the border but spends some time detained in Orgoreyn. Genly gets him back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A hapless imugi is determined to attain the form of a full-fledged dragon and gain entry to the gates of heaven. For a long time, things don’t go well. Then, it meets a girl. </blockquote>

<blockquote>Infrastructure. It’s all the stuff you don’t think about, the stuff that works until it doesn’t, and then your tube of personal lubricant turns out to be full of toothpaste or you end up knee-deep in chocolate milkshake. That’s not the fun kind of surprise, and it’s not a random example either. I’d had a lively morning, and I was hoping that the afternoon was going to be more on the calm side. At least with the replicator I was working on there was no obvious mess to clean up, though I wouldn’t know for sure until the skeleton key had finished running and I could rummage around inside it and see what it had choked on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>I don’t really care about the new guy, even if he did murder someone once. I’m mostly just out here to not have to listen to old Mrs. Francis concern-trolling my mom. When I was a kid who sometimes acted like a boy and sometimes like a girl, it was “just a phase.” Now that I’m sixteen, it’s “worrying” and “not safe for the younger children” and something we should “talk to a therapist about.” What Mrs. Francis doesn’t know is that I remember every life I’ve lived for nearly four hundred years—not in detail, but like a book I read once and have a few hazy recollections about. In over a dozen lifetimes I can recall, I’ve been male and female enough times for those words to mean little more to me than a particular shirt—not who I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Two trained specialists handle a problem in the usual professional manner, though there's something different back at HQ.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Here’s how I remember it: A touch shocked me. I was reaching for a flash-seared bog-oyster, and then a fingertip, softer than I’d ever felt, brushed my knuckle. The softness startled me so much, it took me a moment to realize the hand had seven fingers, three more than mine. Be held a striped cloth in ber other hand. I came up with the correct pronoun by instinct, even before my mind took in the fact that a pilot was touching my hand. Holy shit, a pilot!</blockquote> ➤ here for it omg! both the A+ gender/sexuality stuff (wayyyyy more than a binary, though still binarized thinking about who is the penetrator/penetratee in sex, and a main character who doesn't want to fulfill the expectations set out for ym), and the scifi worldbuilding stuff, and the extremely pragmatic approach the main character takes to yr relationship with Dot. ➤ Saw someone refer to this as a/b/o fic before a/b/o was a thing, and yeah, this story does exactly the gender deconstruction things that my fave kinds of a/b/o fics do (although this story never really gets to a place of explicitly criticizing the binarization of penetration roles as a whole, just the main character's discomfort with yr place in that system) ➤ also WAIT this author is the author of that book I keep seeing like everyone talk about (All the birds in the sky)? okay fiiiiiiine I guess I will put that book on my to read list after all
