    Summary

    Tired of your current insurmountable problems, and the apparently endless cycle of death and war you're trapped in? Try time travel! 100% guaranteed to replace all of your old, boring problems with newer, more exciting problems!

    Or: 2B accidentally travels back in time to the start of the story - and just as accidentally gets her consciousness stuck in a sword now wielded by A2. What seemed at first to her like a few minor changes rapidly spirals into a new timeline wholly out of her control, especially as her younger self responds to the changes she's making, and her enemies take note of how the world isn't developing as it should...

    But, hey, at least they're not going to get the same problems as last time...?

    2B's going to need a lot of help to dig everyone out of this. Fortunately, A2's (somewhat beligerently) taken up her cause, and she has more allies than she thinks.

    Or: A fix-it retelling of canon (based centrally in the anime), though the road is far from smooth, and things get worse before they get better. Also there's robot philosophy, exploration + expansion of canon esp the Executioner program, and slow burn disaster queers.

    Summary

    A2 is presented with a choice, at the end of all things:

    Option 1) Leave with the machine lifeforms on the ark, in search of a new world, abandoning the world she swore to protect.
    Option 2) Destroy the preserved data of all machine lifeforms, including that of Pascal and his villagers, perpetuating the vengeance she has tried to set aside.

    She's really, really sick of forced binary choices like this. So, she argues for a different path...

    Title from A2's line in episode 24 of the anime - "Even the broken moon will never be full again! Neither will humanity, nor 2B!"

    Summary

    A2 joined these trials because she was bored, and to get away from the sand and wind. She kept going because they were actually kind of fun.

    So why are these machines declaring her their king?!?! Rude >:(

    Or: A2 goes through the Trials of Sand, gets herself appointed King of Facade, and somehow finds herself in Big Sister mode to a lot more people than she'd ever thought possible. She didn't want a command. But she ended up with one anyways.

    And - once she finishes complaining about it - she refuses to fail at this one.
