A novella-length pair of ''Anime/ArmitageIII'' fanfics, comprising ''How She Has Burned'' and ''From Blue to Red Again''. Unusual for being fics written in 2013 for a 1995 series that has about five fanfics total, the series progresses from personal drama to civil war as it continues the story of Naomi Armitage: a robot built to give birth to human children, but who discovers that her true fulfilment lies in saving her dying race. Saving said race turns out to involve a lot of harmful-to-humans actions, however, and since her partner is human... well, it all goes [[DownerEnding downhill from there]].
