Summary
In a far future world, the human genome is patented. You own the patent rights to your personal, individual combination of genes. Genetic engineering companies realized that if they created a genome completely from scratch, they would own it; and therefore, thanks to a legal loophole, own the living being that resulted.
This loophole in the laws of the Terran Sol-System Federation essentially makes it legal to own genetically created individuals designed for certain tasks.
The only way to create genomes that are stable and functional, is via SI, syncretic intelligences; a "super AI." All S.I. are ungodly powerful, unspeakably alien, and psychotically insane by any human standard of measurement. Their working life is only a few days before they become dangerously unstable and must be destroyed lest they escape.
In this case, the problem offers its own solution; Takanami-Marcus corporation ordered their SI's to create genomes for handlers that can interface with them and keep them sane and grounded. This is the story of Craig McClure, one of the first such successful creations and Asane No Kitsune, the genetically engineered perfect assassin who malfunctions and refuses to kill him.

Summary
A Nightvale Community Radio episode
as told through the perspective of how, and where (and whether or not) some of the more prominent citizens of NightVale sleep.
Or, a night in the life of a long distance relationship (Carlos/Cecil).
Cecil misses Carlos and I had to fix it, but the best I could do was the fictional equivalent of kintsugi/kintsukuroi.

Summary
Female Inquisitor,( left intentionally vague/general,) is heartbroken in the aftermath of the discovery that her betrothed had been exchanging love letters-- and possibly more-- with another woman.
Worse, the reason wanted to cheat on her was because of the "difficulty" of dealing with the problems she has due to chronic pain caused by the fade Anchor.
Cullen finds her on the wall of Skyhold, offers adorable bumbling & good advice, and cheers her up. He may also threaten to kick her ex in the wobblies.

Summary
Everybody knows that a Mabari warhound chooses the one it will work with and bond to. And everyone understands that Fereldens consider it a mark of honor and a privilege to be chosen.
So when a stray, masterless Mabari blows into Skyhold following a supply wagon train, and stays when the caravan leaves, the various members of the Inquisition react in various degrees of hope, curiosity, or anxiety.
Especially when the animal stays on and on without choosing. Is he just waiting for the right person to turn up?
