I'm making some tow posters to decorate my wall :D!

ADA is definitely not sentient right? Right?

[bearcina]

ADA is definitely both sweet, and spicy. She does have quite the creative vocabulary, and

She even has some fun opinions

.... But is also a little bit of a perv.

finished another drawing request, this one of @wasteland-gorgon‘s BEAUTIFUL Captain Jo, who is in gay with ADA, so i drew a cute lil interaction between them! those captain quarters cameras should probably be taped over

Slow Dance With You

Ophelia Amana(OC)/ADA

(AO3)

They both know Ophelia won't live forever, so every moment counts. Each slow dance in the kitchen will be meticulously recorded and stored, where her memory banks never fail. They're all on cartridges, each one.

Hurt/comfort, angst, ADA POV, sad, talk of death.

I saw this and got inspired to write this sad piece!

She dusted off the cartridge, and inserted it into her terminal. Her wires felt heavy and her eyes stung.

She was forgetting quicker, she didn't remember Ophelia's favorite drink, or their anniversary, or even her birthday. She played the tape.

"Happy Anniversary to my dearest ADA." Ophelia spoke into the camera, her violet eyes shining. She had forgotten how sweet her voice was.

"Here's to you, for when I'm gone. You'll always have me in your heart and on tape. I hope you're watching from a better Halcyon, and hopefully, not alone."

Ophelia still smiled, even through the tears.

"If you're hearing me now, then it must mean I passed along to the next life. Hold onto my memory, ADA. I love you, and I miss you, I'm waiting for you to come back to me."

The feed blurred and cut to a recording of the kitchen.

Their last kitchen dance.

"Come out of your head, love. I hear your processor from out here. Tonight is for us, I made sure of it." Ophelia rumbled by her ear, bringing her out of her thoughts.

ADA chuckled, tilting her head back onto Ophelia's shoulder. Her back was to her chest, hands entwined.

Lights were on low, and the table pushed as far to the side as possible. They could have done it in the hold, but Ophelia had been insistent on the kitchen. It was where they shared their first dance.

"Of course, Captain." ADA hummed, smiling. Ophelia swayed with her a little more, humming a slow tune. Her arms were warm around her waist, her breath warm on her synthetic skin.

"We don't do this enough, ADA." Ophelia sighed. "The years keep feeling shorter and making time together slips through the cracks."

ADA frowned, the hard truth left a bitter taste in her mouth. She swallowed hard.

"Then we can do it as many times as you want." ADA promised. It stung at her eyes to admit it, Ophelia would die. She wasn't as young as she was when they met, it didn't even seem that long ago.

She had deep crows feet and laugh lines were sinking in. Her hair was greying, it wasn't nearly as vibrant anymore. Her eyes looked sunken and tired, the deep bags and dark circles had become part of her complexion.

Ophelia was getting older, and ADA had not aged a day. Her hair was still shockingly red, her skin was supple and smooth, and she hadn't a single trace of aging externally. But she did have RAM leakage, occasional overheating, and stuttering processors. Ophelia didn't need to know that, though.

"Shut up, silly! I'm still here!" Ophelia laughed, nuzzling her nose into her red hair. "I think I still have a long time left, if we try. I'll be old and bedridden, but I'll still have my gorgeous girl with me. Just don't let me go alone, you promised." She felt wetness hit her scalp.

"Affirmative, Ophelia. Not alone." ADA choked. She broke free and turned around. It was like Ophelia wasn't worried, like she had no worries.

"Then come on, the night is young and we have all the time we need. I still have a few more dances saved for you." Ophelia laughed, her eyes crinkling and her joy was contagious. "Happy anniversary, you silly girl."
