Actalus gets introduced in the second chapter of Desert Tower, and Medka babbles a little too much to the cute (to him) strange he just met

this will in no way cause problems for everyone involved <3

The Desert Tower

After 400 years of isolation, a spaceship crashes on Medka's planet. All the people on board want is to contact their home planet to be repatriated to civilisation, and to accomplish this they must reach an old communication tower known by natives of the planet to be cursed. Forced to act as their guide, Medka becomes close to the travellers' too human robot on a journey to a tower he knows will kill them all

hi hello I impulsively edited today an AU for my OCs and equally impulsively decided to start posting it on A03 because nobody can stop me.

I set it as available only to registered users for now, sorry orz

Nomad AU of Goro, Lương and Vân

In a world where they start off as clanmates, or perharps an alternate future where they all run off together to become nomads, like Vân always wanted.

Lương looks even more inconspicuous in this AU because he doesn't have to hide his wickedness to blend in the corpo world!

I think Goro would looks pretty much the same, plus some tattoos and ... more buckles and straps!

The conceit of the barbarian AU is that kidnapping mates is perfectly normal and even expected among the tribal mechs, yet I’ve never seen a fic exploring how that works for them. There’s a couple mentions of mechs from the same tribe who already know each doing the kidnapping as like a marriage ritual. 

What about the pressures of growing up in a culture where you could be legally kidnapped and forced to shack up with a stranger at any time? How old does a mech have to be before they can be taken, and what happens if someone underaged is taken by accident? Are there standardized ‘rules of engagement’ across some or most of the tribes? Maybe in one tribe it’s a crime to drug, restrain, or coerce a mate into interface, while in another it’s expected that the kidnapper sparkbond/impregnate a mate as soon as possible in order to tie them to their new family unit. 

Is kidnapping a bonded mech or one with sparklings allowed? If no, how would you know that information pre-kidnapping and what happens if you do it by accident? Is it okay to kill the mate of a bonded mech and then take them, or would that bring dishonor on your house and your cybercow? If taking a mech with sparklings is allowed, is the kidnapper expected to adopt the sparklings or to leave them with their other parent? What if you kidnap a pregnant mech by accident? 

What if you try to kidnap someone and they beat your ass? Is the cultural expectation for you to leave them alone or try harder next time? 

I have questions.
