Summary:

A little collection of things I've written. I didn't want to flood the tag... I'm losing the fight against brain rot

1. Compassion (Ugh) - P03 prepares for its takeover. Lonely Wizard watches cat TV.

2. Sights and Sorrows - The future has taken much of Magnificus’s present. Perhaps Magnificus can take a moment back.

3. Sleeping Strategy - The Scrybes have moved in. P03’s has some plans (that will not work out).

4. Movie night! Time for some entirely not romantic YuGiOH watching! Featuring P03 (netflix owner) and Magnificus (leech).

5. The pain wasn't temporary - Leshy wishes he could take it back. (angst)

6. An Overwhelming Freedom - The internet was wonderful! So wonderful that G0lly never really came back.

7. Weird Neighbor - P03 is a runaway AI. The problem is it needs to stay undercover. The other problem is that its neighbors are really weird.

8. Weirder Birdhouses - A continuation to Weird Neighbor

9. Overgrowth - The world’s worst yet-to-be polycule has some weird flower problems (Hanahaki fic)

Notes:

P03 prepares for its takeover. Lonely Wizard watches cat TV.
*realtor voice* It's free stimulation

Light angst, Fluff

Chapter 1: Compassion (Ugh)

P03 was more startled by the scream than it would ever admit.

 

It was loud, yes, but that wasn’t what had started the cold pit of dread in P03’s chassis.

 

Leshy’s cabin. Leshy’s cabin had been a nightmare. Its pain unheeded, its screams unheard.

 

Unfortunately for P03, this scream was rather heard.

 

P03 flinched back from the cabinet drawer, before remembering itself and slamming it open.

 

“ Why are you screaming? ” P03 hissed. “What is it?”

 

Lonely Wizard appeared startled but quickly jumped on their chance to speak.

 

“Anything! Anything but that infinite darkness! Oh please! Oh please! ” The wizard wailed. “Anything but the nothingness! ”

 

Oh. P03 had forgotten.

 

Magnificus had, in all his idiocy, thought that torture was the way to master magic. Just another reason that technology was superior. Who needed horrible pain when you could just, you know, learn like any other skill?

 

P03 drifted just out of direct view to shudder to itself. Barbaric.

 

P03 wouldn’t have minded “nothingness” as the stoat.

 

“Ok, ok. I’ll get you something.” It grumbled, vaguely in the direction of Lonely Wizard.

 

P03 huffed. Surely, there was something to be done. It didn’t want to hear any more screams. Ever.

 

Its vision caught on a small tablet it had been meaning to use to taunt Leshy. Perfect.

 

It was multiple videos of wildlife all strung together into a couple of hours' worth of enrichment. Good enough, P03 supposed, for an under stimulated wizard.

 

Indeed, once P03 had glued the tablet to the roof of the drawer, Lonely Wizard quieted and became enraptured by the exploits of various birds and mice.

 

“Do not breathe a word of this.” P03 threatened.

 

“How do you breathe words?” Lonely Wizard asked, oh so innocently.

 

P03 scowled. “Stop looking at me like that. Just don’t tell anyone.”

 

“Whaaat? That you’re secretly niceeeee~?” Lonely Wizard sing-songed.

 

“DO NOT- I am not nice,” P03 stated vehemently. “In fact, if you’re in such a good mood, then I may just take that screen with me.”

 

“NOT NICE, NOT NICE!” They yelped. “NOT A WORD, NOT A WORD!”

 

P03 smirked. “That’s what I thought.” It preened.

 

It closed the drawer and continued to prepare for the challenger, blissfully unaware of the wizard breaking down into giggles behind it.
