reading the hive mind new year stories makes me a bit sad seeing how well mira's senior administrator suits her and thinking about how tense amber's relationship is with megan
i want to write a one-shot where amber lets megan quit her position, and then amber gets assigned a new administrator who fits better for her. Since Amber has a close relationship with her parents, I think it would work a lot better if her senior administrator was more of an older sibling type figure rather than someone who's meant to fill a parental role. It won't make her feel defensive like someone is trying to replace her parents, but it still has a kind of mentorship/guidance tone for their dynamic so she'd be able to go to them for help and advice on things she can't go to her parents for.
She already has a younger brother, so it will be a familiar dynamic for her, and after being the older sibling all this time, it might be nice for her to be on the other side. I think it'd work especially well if the senior administrator tried to build a bond with Gregas too whenever he comes to the unit so they feel like more of a trio.
That said i've still only read the whole hive future once, so this fic would need to wait until i'm at least done my reread
