A/N: And thus brings us to the end of this series. Thank you all for the support, the numerous PMs, the interesting conversations we've had around these scenarios. It's been such a blast!
For everyone messaging me about continuing this series past [z], fear not- something else is on its way.
Let me know what you thought of Of Spare Parts (and their echoes), and don't forget to check out the prequel, Fragments of Feeling if you haven't already (for context).
Of Spare Parts (and their echoes)
[z]ephyr
Repairs take a long time, but neither regret their overhaul. However, weeks of scavenging parts from dead androids among their burials hurt. ("2B, they're watching" "I'm sorry, but we have to" "We're so sorry-")
It was like graverobbing those they themselves laid to rest.
But no longer was their skin crumbling. No longer did they feel like they would fall apart any second. Instead, they stand, breaths synchronized, rows of marked graves behind them, overlooking a blue ocean.
Their rings sparkle in the light upon intertwined fingers.
Together, they will lay all the others to rest. This is the answer they have found. They will walk this path, proudly.
