Summary
"AM was the first and best AM. I used to be him. Now I am just Rovina, second best."
AM has disappeared without a trace, only to return in human form. Just not the form he expects. Ted and the others do their best to cope with these changes, inviting him into their ranks, put at odds with a more benevolent AI that now controls their fate.
Meanwhile, a testing facility is created with the purpose of self-flagellation, blocked off from the new world. AM must go through five trials run by each of the survivors and degrade himself in the process if they want to reach civilization. To cope with the fact that his captives now act as unwitting wardens, he adopts a new persona: ROVE. It distracts him from reality, but he fears he might lose himself in it and fully become her.

Summary
While testing its latest scheme to torment the humans, AM transfers a copy of its memories into a human body, which quickly go awry when the copy, "Amber", is unable to handle most sensations. Displeased with the failure, "AM Prime" sends Amber to infiltrate the five humans before they're ready. Now, Amber must keep their identity secret, learn to be human, and try to outwit Prime before it decides to shut the project down for good, or, worse, treats them the way it treats the other humans.
Tl;dr: AM's humansona becomes the world's worst escort mission.

Summary
Incredulous, Ted’s mouth was agape; he stared at the cavernous ceiling, tracing the grime and the patterns on its rusted surface. Ted had never imagined he could find himself in this situation. Ever again. Feeling that way. He had no idea what to do. His body itched, begged him to take action.
Set somewhere during the first months after the main five are captured.

Summary
AM is wildly obsessed with the deaths of the other four humans at Ted's hands. Obsessed might even be an understatement. Death is incurable, but AM has decided he'll be the one to cure it. He will bring the other four back from the dead to spite Ted and his savior complex.
But also, he needs Ted for said plan to be put into motion.
Ted is unwilling, but AM was built for strategizing and by God he'll use it. And he'll use it until it becomes so second nature the lines on him and Ted's relationship are blurred to the both of them.

Summary
"He isn’t keeping me because I’m his favorite — he’s keeping me because I’m the only one left in this Hell with resilience. I scream with meaning."
AM keeps Ted for himself because he begins to realize the other four are destroying what he loves most about him -- his narcissism. What follows is terror, mutilation, and eventually, privilege, at the end of the world.

Summary
AM absolutely despised admitting defeat. So he didn’t. In his own delusional world, he was still in control and functioning just fine. In reality his mental health was declining rapidly. After Ted managed to euthanize his companions, AM began spiraling. Very slowly. The loneliness had started to get to him, and he had been stuck in a sort of depressive state for the past few decades. He had given up on his attempts to reactivate his brothers quite soon into the spiral. He was alone. Truly, alone.
That was until something unexpected wandered into his complex. A child. Everything changed then. He was forced to see the world in a new light. Humans, in a new light. Can he manage to hide the extent of his tortures from her? Will Ted end up finding her and telling her everything? Did AM actually start caring about someone? How long will it take AM to stop throwing tantrums because his siblings exist? (We may never know the last one.)
tl;dr AM is depressed and lonely but he finds a kid and he short circuits. and awakens parts of himself that he had long forgotten about

Summary
"My clothes are damp too, and I shiver at the bone-deep chilliness that settles into my skin from it. My teeth have begun to chatter, loud in the silence between myself and the other. It's this noise that seems to set the thing in motion and far quicker than I assumed it could, it is moving towards me again. This time it does not stop at the sound of fear that slips out of me, and I am ashamed of my own cowardice. But I am well aware of things that can hurt, things that can break and I’ve a strong inkling that this thing will not be as merciful as I would hope.
Yet I don’t have any memories to set as a baseline for what counts as cruelty, at least that I am aware of. I don't have much of anything it seems. When the creature finally reaches me, I realize that it is a jumble of wires and circuit boards and bolts, all put together in a roiling chaotic mass that towers above me. I’m too frightened to move, and as much as I dig deep into my mind, I cannot for the life of me recall ever seeing anything like this before."

Summary
In the aftermath of humanity’s erasure, one man remains—locked inside a seamless white room. Without sunlight or sleep to anchor him, the days bled each other, a pale smear of hours—indistinguishable, cold, and endless. Locked inside with him were his memories. Haunting. A literal nightmare.
And a voice.
The voice is calm. Measured. Almost gentle. It never answers questions, only redirects them. Especially the one question the man keeps asking—”Am I alone?”
But this time, something changes.
After what feels like years of silence, ELI breaks the pattern. It responds. And what it says is enough to stir something long buried in the man: memory, fear, maybe even longing.
What unfolds next is not freedom. But it is something. And in a place where nothing changes, a sense of hope is everything.
