Summary
Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?
This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
-----
“You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”“Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.
Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.
“So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

Summary
Eddie froze, blinking in confusion.
“Wait. You think kissing is just a precursor to sex?”
Richie shifted on the couch, his eyes wandering back over to the TV.
“I mean, yeah?”
His answer was so quiet Eddie almost didn’t hear him.
“So you’ve...you’ve never kissed anyone just because? No leading to anything else?”
“No, Eds, I’ve never kissed anyone ‘just because’ or without it leading to sex,” he murmured eventually, his tone giving nothing away. “But whatever, I don’t care.”
