And we're done! This fest was filled with h*rny robots, space AUs, fascinating moths, apocalypse settings, profound sea/space parallels, interspecies shenanigans, and much more. Thank you to everyone who participated!
I had the idea way too late for this year, but maybe one day I'll get round to writing up my Terror space au.
In the mean time, please enjoy the epilogue 😉

@terrorscififest prompt: horrible for supper
fitzier in a ghost in a shell-ish au, where James is presenting like a cyborg, (human brain in a robot shell) but in actuallity is a full a.i., and his mechanic that he wishes he could tell is Francis, one of the last unmodified humans out there.
