ykmow what, you've peaked my interest
Explain Kc x computer to me, please
Im curious
OH BOY ANON DO I HAVE A TALE FOR YOU!
So, this specifically stemmed from my au with @polaris-stuff and @dragoncxv360 called Reset. We named the original computer AIs Ilo and Milo, and then cutely killed Milo off with old Moon. Technically, KC named them that, based off a game that Moon let him play that helped calm him down.
First off, the idea that KC could have a relationship with Moon’s computer isn’t too far-fetched—after all, KC's AI was housed in it at one point. What if there’s a mindscape within the computer where KC and the AI could interact? They get to know each other pretty well, so to speak. When KC finally gets his body, he’s still threading his claws through the computer’s hardware, just because old habits die hard. Suddenly, computer repairs become a lot more flustering.
Killcode doesn't just ditch either once he has his own body. It's not an ideal body, first off, just a spare moon model and he's not entirely comfortable in it. Second off, he's trying to figure out where exactly he belongs now that Moon has been reset, and he's got his own body, and this new Moon doesn't really. . . know him. Or his. . . particular needs. Several awkward conversations lie in wait, and the only person that KC can really rely on is the computer. He doesn't know what to do with himself, so he kind of hangs out until Ruin arrives on scene, and more or less forces everyone to shoo via blowing up the daycare.
Ruin resets the computer during that time and for the moment, bye-bye Ilo. Everything is explained once everyone is on neutral terms, but that takes a while to get to. Killcode ends up splitting off from the celestials during this time after securing a new body, and tries to make his own life. And he does do that, and shit works out for a while. And then the main plot of the AU happens, and Ruin's been outed, and shit is gone mad, and once things calm down KC confronts Ruin about deleting his computer husband.
They manage to restore both Ilo and Milo, and since there's already an AI in the computer, they transfer them to nanobodies for the time being. And Killcode helps them learn about the real world, and experience new things, and Milo is skittish as fuck, but Ilo is there to support him and encourage them, and then end up joining the poly that's happening over on KC's side of things after an adjustment period. Ilo was estatic to be able to be held by KC, Milo was. . . much less trusting. But alls well that ends well!
Also, this is severely compressed and summarized. I could rant for hours about them (and I will. When we write the book. Hehe.)
