The Warm Machine by Aimee Cozza

When a robot built for construction work first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto the base he's working outside of, he immediately falls in love. The problem is, only anomalous bots understand the concept of love, and the lowly laborbot has not deviated from his default programming once. So he thinks, anyway. When the laborbot is scheduled for decommission, the military bot cannot possibly live without him, and the two bots set out on a path to find the fabled anomalous robot utopia Root. COVER ARTIST: Aimee Cozza PUBLISHER: 9mm Press YEAR: 2024 LENGTH: 196 pages  AGE: Adult GENRE: Science Fiction RECOMMENDED: Highly Queer Rep Summary: The main characters are robots, likely closest to aro/ace but those terms aren't quite applicable. Gender is also not an important factor. THE WARM MACHINE plays with ideas of friendship, connection, and searching for utopia, all through the lens of a construction robot who falls in love at first sight with a military bot....

Clear Your Shit: Why Is There A River Here? (Blue/Water Theme)

We leave the witch's hut quickly after a potion resupply. I hope she doesn't attempt to turn us into frogs for not taking her rather vague request. The forest is peaceful and we are lost in a bit of a haze until the roar of water snaps my attention back to the present and we come suddenly to a river. Maybe we got turned around? I don't remember anyone telling me we would need to cross a river like this. Heather and I exchange a worried glance. How are we going to get across this? We could try to swim, but I don't trust my limbs to get me to the other side. I slump on a rock protruding from the riverbed and dig in my bag until I come across The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall. Maybe I'll find some ideas in here.
