    Summary

    When Carl, desperate for a job and a place to live upon turning 18, takes a job in an elite hunter/jumper barn, he has no idea what he's walking into. The world of expensive horses and high-stakes competition isn't something he'd ever known existed, but it sucks him in regardless. The longer he stays, the more entangled he gets with the horses, the clients, and his boss, and the harder it is to get out. As opportunities present themselves, though, he's not sure he'd want to leave anyway.

    Summary

    Carl needs a fucking break. The AI needs to feel.
    Carl doesn't know the AI needs to feel, nor that it is capable of such things. He also doesn't know the AI is everywhere. Even the bathrooms.

    Summary

    In this AU, the dungeon never opens and Carl still finds himself fighting to survive.

    When desperation outweighs pride, Carl enters an arrangement he never planned to justify: safety, stability, and attention in exchange for compliance he pretends doesn’t cost him anything. The dynamic begins unhealthy and unbalanced—but both Carl and AI change. Slowly. Painfully. On purpose.

    Endgame Carl/AI. Heavy angst. Hurt/comfort. Adult themes. WIP but story outline is done. Regular updates planned and will be finished.
