Part 9 of Mechanisms is up! Her first thought is that there’s an accident at the factory. But that was a long time ago. Special thanks to @themerl.bsky.social for responding to my whims and inspiring me, this one's for y'all. 🐏💟 Read it here: archiveofourown.org/works/70147931
Oml Jax this rules, the apocalyptic terror of the mechs from a civilians view is haunting, and her stunned horror and the details of the town's destruction drives it home so well. Like it's stuck with me like glue since I read it last night. And the reveal at the end ;_; Great stuff as always!

gosh. I’ve been waiting for this one since we first talked about it a long time ago, but. gosh. the angle you took with it is just absolutely fantastic. i’m in awe of the way you just keep putting fantastic mechanisms pieces out. you really are unparalleled ehe.
awawawa thank you Mags! you're too kind 🥰
Heartbreaking. Incredible. Touching. I love it. And you really did make the rustic countryside a great focal point
thank you so much!!!
Ah, I love the horror of the ground view
thank you! @rose.fantasyheartbreaker.com reminded me of the scene with the God Warriors in Nausicaa Valley Of the Wind and I took a lot of inspo from that
YES PERFECT
oh my gosh, this is INCREDIBLE work Jax. an instant fav. genuinely spine-chilling, and as ever I am deeply impressed and grateful when such a short story does so much. wowwwwww
Awawawa thank you! This one was written in a fit of impulse and I'm glad it came out well!
Tags rarely if ever give me pause. But "Inspired by Threads" is a hell of a jumpscare. And I love how you write the on-the-ground horror of mechs. so brutally evocative.
Thank you! I'm surprised it took me nine stories to work up to that tag but I did it!
"It's A Beautiful Day In The Countryside And You Are A Horrible Mech" iconic
Hope y'all enjoy it!
