You wrote a Very Pulse of the Machine fic?

And yes the story and short are so different they do not belong together!

ha, yeah, shortest and probably strangest fic I've ever posted - it's here. much more directly inspired by the netflix short but i read the story too and there were a couple specifics from it I really latched on to!

definitely felt odd that that AO3 made 'The Very Pulse of the Machine' a tag with the same meaning as 'LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS' as a whole, but I can't imagine how complicated tag wrangling an anthology series must be, let alone figuring out how to handle the infinite world of miscellaneous published short stories.
