Summary
He thought he was above it all—the Cycle, that mortal strife. That he would never truly know the pain of his creators, only that which was unique to his own kind. Cursed with godly privilege, a life that would not yield before he had solved the unsolvable or eroded into dust.
It was not a relief to be proven wrong.
~
Pebbles gets Cycled. Faced with the inevitability of his death and rebirth, he forges a new path.
Far in the future, a lone courier grapples with an impossible mission.

Summary
To ascend is to find oneself untethered to this world and its attachments.
Why then do the Iterators, beings designed to seek means of ascendance for all creatures, find themselves tethered in both body and mind?Long after the Ancients are gone, the Iterators are left with only each other and their lonely, desolate cans. With one small change, their Cycles will spiral off into a new future where they may yet be freed from the burdens their creators left them with. Some will abandon their purpose, abandon the ideas that formed them, and seek a new purpose in the world left to them. While others will seek out companionship, family, and the freedom that has long be denied to them.

Summary
Five Pebbles was pretty sure his story was coming to an end, alone in the snow, covered by his collapsed superstructure with no way out.
The world, however, gave him a second chance in the form of a weird green thing that seemed to...
...Throw him back in time?
Now with memories of freezing cold and information on how to not only fix the rot, but also fix Moon as well, he promised himself he would do whatever he could to never have to relive this awful cold all alone.
The isolation, cold, pain, and hundreds of thousands of cycles worth of thinking made him dead set on never going through that ever again. Even if that meant ripping off his umbilical before that could ever happen.In the meantime... The rest of the local group is confused. After all, the Pebbles they knew was a pretensious jerk who killed Moon then cut all communications, but the one that came back to them was a paranoid mess who seemed to space out every few minutes.
...How odd.Series
