Summary
It is rare to find understanding in this world. It is rarer still to further your understanding of yourself through the lens of another.
What comes after the eucatastrophe? Freedom that was once beyond all of them slowly becomes commonplace, and the bounds of possibility that closed in over cycles of decay show signs of weakening once more.
With fragile hope, Seven Red Suns and Five Pebbles both intend to make the best of it. No matter what else might come their way.

Summary
Iterators cannot come of age. As this is an impossibility, Seven Red Suns does not expect that the twentieth anniversary of their awakening will be marked by anything in particular. To their curiosity, they find themself brought into a tradition that does not quite fit a being like them.
Yet, they go along with it. For many reasons: because it is important to their taciturn head administrator, because a god should not be so separated from their people, because they were built to admire such things.
And because an age from now, it will be all that remains of this fragment of their citizens’ lives.

Summary
No Significant Harassment and Looks to the Moon have known each other for cycles innumerable. That should make their relationship easy – sticking by her side came as naturally as breathing to him. But sometimes, he swore, it was as if the cycle itself was determined to keep them apart.
Fortunately, Sig hasn’t had any particular respect for the cycle in a long, long time.

Summary
SSaDC: And what about other concerns? The local facility is filled with Practical and Cultural Necessities— there is simply no space for a whole Iterator to sit, other than where Looks to the Moon is already situated. Unless you wish to suggest something drastic, such as removing the (Technically impractical, but highly venerated) True Anointed Citadel, then your proposal is Dead in the water before it can begin.
FDuGL: That is exactly what I am suggesting.

___
The political climate surrounding the proposal, development, and construction of Five Pebbles was a fraught one. There is no one without an opinion, including the Iterator himself, who has to contend with the rather irritating knowledge that this has all happened before.Series

Summary
After setbacks from every corner: from the hardware to the software to the political, Five Pebbles is finally online. The Administrators can rest, the Engineers can toil at their leisure, the Citizens can continue ignoring the new god beneath their feet, and the Iterators can get to know their newest member.
This, naturally, immediately veers sideways.

Doomed from the start? Let’s test that theory. by CisntCritter

Summary
Iterators, godlike in comparison to most creatures. They were simply made to be more than anything else that came before them in most ways. However, they still are living creatures caught in the cycles of their world. And, crucially, they are still people. As people, they break and suffer and lie and love. As people, they live and die… they still question.
Fivepebbles spent an excruciating amount of time sitting in his own dying body, waiting for the end as he lost more and more. In that time where he was both living and dead, he began to question.
Was he doomed to end this way form the start. But he ends up gasping against the feeling of it all returning to him and realizes he’s been sent back in time. He keeps his condition from going public and vows to change a few things- but can anything truly change his fate? Or is he genuinely that doomed by the narrative?
Aka- My take on the “Pebbles goes back in time/cycles” concept. Planned out about a year ago but rewritten (and/or written for the first time for at least half the chapters) but I decided it’s time to at least start sharing it. This will explore Pebbles as a character, fate, endings, relationships and change- hopefully for the better.
