Summary
“I have a proposition,” the stranger called Siraj says.
“You want to hire an architect?” Kaveh supposes that there are weirder ways than finding one in the tavern.
“Yes and no,” Siraj says, glancing around them before he leans forward, lowering his voice. “I am looking for exceptional people from all walks of life to take the next step in improving society. Fuse yourself with a shared consciousness and you can forget all about your troubles. The collective takes care of its own."
---
Or what if Kaveh joined Siraj's hive instead of moving in with Alhaitham?

Summary
Ambushed on a PR trip to Vought-American, Billy Butcher is accosted by an omniscient voice calling itself the SYSTEM. As its Host, he’s tasked to fulfill the dying wish of each soul he transmigrates into. Fight fate. Only then will he be permitted to return home.
The catch? He’ll be pitted against each Task World’s “virtuous hero.” Somehow he will have to win his enemy over—or it’s Billy’s death.
Whilst Billy’s digesting the information, the SYSTEM must’ve read his mind because it quickly creates one more ironclad rule.【No, you cannot kill that person—or your soul’s forfeit.】
Billy sneers. “You expect me to know who that cunt would be?”
【Oh, you’ll know. You are destined to be natural nemeses in every world.】
In the end, Homelander’s embraced Billy. “Don’t you see how perfect you are by my side…?” The deep love wrapped in paranoid light has rolled into a vast ocean, seemingly swallowing everything. Rubbing the tip of his nose against Billy’s cheek, he laughs in a low voice. “One word, William. Just one word from you, and we can be together.”
(AKA Billy’s on a literal Enemies-to-Lovers Fix-It mission spanning seven parallel universes.)

Summary
The twin truths of good and evil are so deeply twined in your soul that it's hard to think, sometimes; better not to think--it's easier to just do what they tell you, to be what they tell you to. Better to ignore that tiny seed of doubt, every time the object of your hatred does something that almost makes you want to love--goddammit, don't think that word. Don't think about it. Don't.

What Vader had said in his own defense was quick, it had to be quick, that kind of separation — he killed his Master, he saved his son, he would be a conscript again, he would follow orders. They believed him because he’d been good at it before.

Summary
Lee comes home from work and decides to go out again and buy toothpaste. He is successful. That wouldn't be a big deal, ordinarily, except the government caught him and put a dodgy electronic mind-control device in his brain a few months back, and, to put it mildly, his current "assisted" housing situation doesn't pass the burrito test. You would think the whole "wires in brain capable of controlling most physical and emotional responses" thing would keep a person from going shopping if you didn't want them to, but the lady selling these "mind-spiders" may not have been totally honest about how they work, what they're for, and the potential side-effects.

Summary
Max has a mind-spider. Max's mind-spider is controlled by an idiot algorithm that only communicates in electricity, and it's already almost killed him by accident. Max is supposed to have a thinking, compassionate human being to help him in situations like that, but Max has severe social-anxiety and he's never contacted her.
Mel is an operator - a new operator, still on probation and still training. Mel has a limited caseload, and one guy she thought was an error, until his mind-spider almost killed him, on her watch. Mel knows he has severe social-anxiety, so she's been watching and waiting for him to come to her. Mel is here to control minds and eat microwave popcorn, and she could be better at BOTH.
Lee is Max's friend. Lee has a mind-spider too. For some reason, Max hasn't seen Lee since he had his little accident.
These things are about to change, and these people are not qualified to deal with it. Have fun watching them try.
