    Summary

    Tara expected a lot of things from the alien horde that swept the Accord and dismantled its military in a mere matter of years. She wasn't expecting to have to work to avoid being turned into a pet, though. She's figured it out, though - go along with things, but never commit to them, and you can avoid drawing any attention or interest. But the Compact doesn't tolerate failing to express your needs - and as Tara learns this skill, she finds herself wondering if it'd actually be that bad...

    Summary

    Holly Clarke is a free Terran, a member of the TCN's elite Lioness program, trained to fight the alien weeds no matter the cost. All her weaknesses are supposed to be gone, purged by the training designed to make her into the perfect weapon. She doesn't need friends, or love, or anything else the Affini might use to corrupt her. It will all be worth it if she can just fight hard enough.

    Cypress Amaranthia, First Bloom, is a xenosophont intake manager on an Affini rescue ship. She's happy to help hook other Affini up with pets, even though she hasn't taken any on herself. This is how she can help the most people, which is far more important than any personal issues she might be dealing with. She doesn't need to address the aching emptiness in her own life if she's bringing happiness to others.

    When she decides that Holly is one of the people she needs to bring happiness to, things get complicated fast.
