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.

Shine in Pearl by Seanan McGuire (October Daye, #14.1)

SHINE IN PEARL is a novella included with A KILLING FROST.

TITLE: Shine in Pearl
AUTHOR: Seanan McGuire
PUBLISHER: Daw Books
YEAR: 2020
LENGTH: 50 pages
AGE: Adult
GENRE: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy
RECOMMENDED: Highly

Queer Rep Summary: Gay/Achillean Main Character(s), Bi/Pan Main Character(s).

SHINE IN PEARL is a novella in three parts: the story of how Patrick joined Dianda in the Undersea, told from Patrick, Dianda, and Simon's perspectives. It's a heady mix of joy and sorrow, I think it might be too sad to bear if it weren't buffered slightly by knowing how A KILLING FROST ends before reading this story.

CW for grief.
