My Robot!DnB Au [Repetition became Emotion]: Full on yapping
You know me, and since you're on my blog, you'd know that I have had this little AU going around for quite a while.
They look silly and harmless, but it was one of my very first and most thought-out AUs in this fandom as a whole.
It is so interesting and fun to work on them, since after all, it's essentially a love story between 2 robots. Not between a human and a robot, but 2 machines managed to fall in love through the sheer power of trauma, internal desires, and bullshit logic. There's no human to guide them through their emotions, and there's no human who would teach them about love. They taught themselves through questionable methods and pieced them together like a messy puzzle that doesn't match.
The best part is figuring out how they'd comprehend, react, and interact with the situations that they were in. They are robots, machines, artificial intelligence that function with the help of a little magic. They don't understand common sense, emotion, and they most definitely don't need to eat, sleep, relax, or any other soft and fluffy stuff that you commonly see in romance plotline stories. They most certainly do not feel attraction like a normal human would, and they also don't experience intimacy in their interaction like a normal human would.
The hard stuff is to make them willingly choose each other despite not having the fuel from the environment or the traction that comes from casual skinship interactions. To make them feel and express empathy when they aren't supposed to.
To make them go through pain and sorrow, at the same time, achieving happiness and true freedom when those things were not meant for them.
