"Transgression," by BronxWench
What a wonderful piece. The sensory detail is exquisite. The plot is absorbing and has a great twist. The amount of world-building you accomplish in so few words is impressive. Five stars, BW.

As creative and surreal as always, IR. Although I for one wouldn't discount those rumors about rogue sex bots. :)

Well, I certainly didn't see that ending coming. Sorry, Lana, they can't put it back. :)
Now this was glorious! Nothing like a battle raging across the universe, and yet...

I am never, ever going anywhere near a pink bunny again. Ever.
I may avoid all people named Rudy just to be safe.

::looks at bowl of butternut squash soup and gently pushes it away:: I've never joined a sorority, or secret society, and I do think that might have been one of my wiser choices. Far better to spend my time stealing probability dice and playing D&D in the Student Union, fortified with cheap wine and Gitanes.

Horsemen indeed!
You certainlty painted a vivid picture and she gets a once in a lifetime memory to treasure.
Ah.
You defintely turned the honor a thousand fold.
I do feel like there might have been a wee bit of overreaction here. To give a fragile thing something you denied your other creations is a recipe for tragedy. When they are sapient things full of curiousity but not malice. This is exactly how a Fall starts.
For said punishment is a little too excessive mean spirited even.

Lana got a sibling. No more entitled single child syndrome. Hahaha!
