Disclaimer: Get out, Mark.
Summary: Mark Zuckerberg is the world's most powerful technopath and the creator of Facebook, the most sophisticated facial recognition program ever created. Eduardo Saverin is the world's most robotic human being and the person who's going to steal Facebook, under Sean Parker's orders. It's a love story, I swear.
Pre-Notes: I should probably tell you that at some point I decided to tell this story as converging storylines and that there is A LOT of html involved in this story. So if you want a really traditional, really straighforward story? This is not that story. (It should display correctly in most browsers, but use Chrome or Firefox for the best results. You should be using those if you're not already anyway. IE is so last decade.)
Anyway, at the very end of April, smack in the middle of my finals, I went "I want to write a story where Mark is a technopath and Eduardo is a cyborg for my wildcard square on this
kink_bingo gift basket. Mechanical/technological kink, that'll be fun!"
And then I blinked and suddenly there was 6k of fic and assorted notes/meta on my computer, all written in moments of extreme sleep deprivation and of varying literary quality. And I was like "well, fuck" and tossed it in a folder because I had to do my finals ahahahaha papers on Hemingway and shit. :| Robowardo was not particularly cooperative about being shoved into a folder, so there was about 8k of assorted stuff total before I ended my semester (which, if I wrote my papers at that speed I wouldn't ever need to worry ever). Then I got out of hell week, took a deep breath, and started writing and writing and writing and here we are.
So this is the actual fic
electricity is easy I'm told belongs in. If you read the comments on that fic, you'll recognize bits and pieces of this. We're still playing the cryptic answer game, by the way, so if you want a question answered and it not answered by the end of the fic, ask in the comments and I'll probably answer it.
You can thank
des_pudels_kern for making that game happen and for being part of the reason this fic got finished. Now that I've done this, there's another document called "you can't write a sequel to a fic you haven't finished" that needs attention.
Oops.
Other thank yous:
1st_eggokage for assuring me that this story looked okay,
teh_slush for telling me that it was actually readable for what it is,
twistedskylove for telling me that I might have a problem but it's okay because she loves me anyway,
Simon Curtis for making an album that inspired a universe that I wanted to roll around in forever,
750words for making sure I just kept writing on, and you. Why? Because you want to read it and that's exciting.
