    Summary

    It's 1997. God is real, and He is in your cereal, your radio, the glint of headlights caught in roadkill eyes. In the hum of cicadas and the low pulse of FM static. He is in the rust on your daddy's tools, the warm plastic of the truck dashboard, the syrup-thick silence that settles over the hills come sundown. If you're listening proper, you can hear Him in the drip of the kitchen tap, the way it ticks time like a metronome. Keeps beat for the loneliness.

    Jayce Talis lives alone in the hills, content to keep to himself, his Bible, and the quiet work of tending land too stubborn to yield much. Then one summer evening, the church drops a half-starved stranger on his porch. Viktor- sharp-tongued, bird-boned and unrepentant- is the kind of man Jayce was raised to turn away from. But the mountains have a way of stretching out time and making space for things that don’t belong, and the more Viktor learns to live, the more he makes Jayce remember what he's spent years trying to forget.

    Summary

    Renowned inventor Viktor is forced to offer his feedback on the performance of a new android model, specially ‘donated’ as his new lab assistant. However, Viktor finds the task much less tiresome than anticipated—even as he struggles to come to terms with exactly what it is he’s been given.

    Meanwhile, JY-5 (now Jayce) only knows three things. That he must neither harm, nor disobey a Human; that the word ‘must’ is a circumstantial term at best; and that he is not a slave, despite all appearances to the contrary.

    Oh. And that he’s in love with Viktor.

    But really—what else could he possibly need to know?

    ---

    Or, Android Jayce fights against systemic oppression, a deadly conspiracy, and—most importantly—the injustice of Viktor not taking his feelings seriously.

    Summary

    Jayce Talis needs to get out of New York. His publisher calls it a “creative retreat,” but Jayce knows better. His work is slipping, the city feels too loud, too suffocating. So he drives—somewhere quieter, somewhere slower. He rents a room in a small town that barely exists on a map, tells himself it’s just for the summer.

    He isn’t looking for a muse.

    But then there’s his new landlord—Viktor.

    Sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, cigarette in hand. Unbothered by the heat, unimpressed by Jayce, unreadable in a way that makes Jayce want to study him a little too long.

    Summary

    An accident with strange consequences and the ripples that follow.

    “You find me strange”, the Herald says. Head tilted to a side in a projection of emotion. Inquisitive.

    “I find you fascinating. I see what you mean, but that doesn’t mean I actually understand it.” Jayce clarifies, raising his eyebrows and looking at the other’s form. “You know me, could you imagine me without emotions?” He asks softly.

    “No”, a short clipped answer that in the rush could be construed as distaste. “It would not suit you.”
