Summary
The Terminator, Uncle Bob, operates on a CPU; a neural net processor, a learning computer. He's not to do too much thinking. If one thinks, they are. One who is, lives. To live is to love. Love is pain. Pain is pleasure. Pleasure is his. His, not its. Humanity. Life. Love.
★ This work uses excerpts from Frakes' novelization. I have cited his work as a reference; these excerpts are in [brackets] so they are clearly distinguishable from portions I have written.Series

Summary
In the time between his near-death and your rebirth (that is, escaping Pescadero), the T-800, then called (Uncle) Bob, along with his only family — John and Sarah Connor — left Los Angeles for new horizons. In the span of five meager months, no longer just a learning computer, he learned, developed, and nurtured personality, humanity, and morality. This is a collection of insights into those moments and many others.
Anachronistic and time-skipping, but limited to the aforementioned five months — June to December 1995 — and still simple to follow and/or assume temporal settings of, as specific times and dates don't matter overall and often self-referential.Series

“It’s true, though: time moves in its own special way in the middle of the night" — such was the case on 8. June, 1995, and, unbeknownst to you, so will it be again on this, the last hours of Christmas Day, 1995, when someone, or something, like a ghost brings your fate to you. A precursor to T., Sweetness, and all of the works, past, present, and future of my female reader x T-800 series, Roses.Series

Summary
In 1995, you befriended Sarah Connor in Pescadero State Hospital; after her own escape, months later, she made good on her vow to break you out, and you began a life on the run and off the grid with her, her son John, and a very large and very handsome man who you quickly realized was not a man at all, not that it mattered to your heart. This is a collection of moments, scenes, and situations from that life and with that man.
Please see my other work, T.Too, for more moments and plots — less pinpointed by time and place, though still of the anachronistic and romantic nature — like those within.Series

Summary
Your first Independence Day with the Connors and the Terminator, T, is less a celebration of the American Dream and more an observance of what the world really is about: not performance or patriotism but humanity and humility – best enjoyed in one another's company, and, with T, more close than before.

It's the summer of 1996 – you're on the run with Sarah Connor, your friend, her son John, and the machine you call T; and from the moment you met him, not only did you know, that something about him was different, but something between him and you would come to be, too. The summer is spent in the Pacific Northwest, and it is growing hotter and hotter...Series

Part of a short and sweet series, intentionally so to be expanded at will, based on my fic "Sweet" itself, detailing the ending of that work and the surrounding circumstances.

Summary
"I just found out nobody cares. What a relief." There is no future war, no unyielding enemy, no crucial mission. When purpose is gone, where does it go, and what, really, is the humanity that would have been fought over? A brief glimpse into the benign, boring, and, somehow, beautiful.

Summary
When Sarah told you of T's most near-death experience — his would-be self-sacrifice — you felt more in awe of him, more fond of him, than ever. And yet part of you was filled with an indescribable pain. What if he truly did die? What will happen when his eventual demise must come, whether by sacrifice or shutdown? Nightmares of those very questions began to haunt you. Unable to share them, and yet unable to keep them to yourself, you wrote them down in a notebook upon waking; this is the collection of them.

Summary
A companion piece to my work, T., in which each chapter — exactly 800 words apiece — is more reflective in nature and untethered to a pinpointed time, moment, or place. In other words, a sort of omniscient diary of developments in the relationship between you and the T-800 you love. A modified summary of T. follows, as the overarching plot is the same; it is only the essence of the work that changes for this publication.
In 1995, you befriended Sarah Connor in Pescadero State Hospital; after her own escape, months later, she made good on her vow to break you out, and you began a life on the run and off the grid with her, her son John, and a very large and very handsome man who you quickly realized was not a man at all, not that it mattered to your heart. This is a collection of mental mementos, thorough thoughts, and other reflections and realizations from that life and with that man.Series
