Summary
When you're supposed to be a weapon, how do you find peace?
In Atlas, a lost silver-eyed girl is found hidden away like a buried treasure, her origins a mystery. She grows up in secrecy, training to be the perfect warrior and believing her destiny is to save the world.
(The second child of the Rose-Xiao Long family was killed in a tragic Grimm attack, and there was nothing left of the infant to bury.)
In Vale, a girl made of metal, circuits, and a soul that burns bright wakes up with no memory. As she learns to protect herself and so many others, she watches the stars and wonders what she was built for.
(Dr. Polendina's lifelong project was destroyed in an unfortunate incident, reduced to a few unidentifiable scraps.)
Neither Ruby nor Penny know what secrets they hold. But when their lives collide, together they will discover a future of unlimited possibility and love. The world will never be the same.
A Nuts & Dolts role reversal/switched at birth AU.

THIS IS NOT A FANFIC
I just had a moment. This is a rant/essay I suddenly felt compelled to write after hearing about incest shipping on twitter.
I cover Genetic Defects, Reproduction as a staple of romantic/sexual relationships, Family Dynamics, and Power Dynamics.
I also discuss the interpretation of Catra and Adora as adopted sisters, And at some point I go off on a tangent about a fanfic I never finished.Bookmarked by Dualight

Bookmarker's Notes
An interesting read, definitely makes a good point as to why it may be a good idea to reexamine why one has the responses they do, regardless of what that response is.

Summary
She rasps at him. “H... hua..”
“How...?”
A nod. “Luh...”
“Long...? How long...” The doctor sighs. “You’ve been through a lot, Summer. I don’t know how much you can recover--”
She shakes her head. “Nn! Nn.... Hua... luh... gugh?” Every fragmentary sound is a monumental struggle, and by the end of it she’s shaking, begging the man to understand her with her eyes. She has to know...
“...How long... were you gone?”
Summer nods, desperately.
“Hmmm.” The man takes off his hat. “I’d have to ask Yang and Ruby that to be sure, but... I would guess around twelve years.”
