Summary
A series of works exploring Pin-Lee's
friendshiprelationshipmutual administrative assistancewith Dr. Gurathin. Working together, socializing, mutual goading, all those kinds of things.Starts from their first meeting in Preservation and goes until... well, we'll see.
Title is a reference to chapter 3 of "Indelible". And it's not that kind of hopeless. No actual whump here. But never forget that the Corporation Rim is terrible.
(I am removing my note about number of works planned because the number just. Keeps. Growing!)
Timeline ranging from 6 years pre-canon until All Systems Red/Season 1 of the show for certain.
I have also started writing alternate points of view / missing scenes for these works! You can find them in Just in Case or else use Case by Case for recommended reading order.

Perceptive, Observant, Vigilant by Jack_Daw

Summary
Looking at things from (my take on) Gurathin's perspective. Pre-canon, during canon, way off-screen during canon, potentially even post-canon. It's all fair game.
He is a cranky wet cat of a human who desperately needs a hug and will be going through it.
There's some fluff, too.

Summary
The gods weren't pleased about the whole "Persephone" thing, and this whole war is really getting in the way of Hypnos' work. So he hatches a plan to end the war that will probably not get him chained to a rock getting his liver eaten. A good 60-40% chance.
He would become Olympus' Persephone. And he would tell nobody where he was going.
But...why did he care whether there was war or not...?

Summary
“We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”
Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”
That sounded bad. It also sounded like —
“And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.
Yeah.
That.

Summary
(this is a finished work, I'm just chopping it into chapter-sized bits as I edit)
Two boys meet in the dark - one with bloodied knuckles, the other with nothing left to lose.
What follows is years of quiet want, bitter loyalty, and the slow, brutal rise to power.It’s the story of two Kings and the City that made them.
Of the people they lose, the ones they fight for, and the child who might still save them both.It starts with survival, it ends in ruin.
Everything in between is theirs - and maybe, if they’re lucky, what comes after will be too.Bookmarked by Jack_Daw
