• u/FeepingCreature:

  I don't understand why people always paint Culture minds as so violent in fanfic.
  

  • u/MugaSofer:

    To be fair, combat-focused Minds and Drones are heavily overrepresented in the books compared to their actual numbers, due to the focus on SC. And they tend to be rather ... memorable.
    

• u/immute:

  By the way, you can read the first seven Culture books [here][link]. In 1997, the year when this story takes place, the first five (through *Excession*, as I hint at in the story) have been published. Willow has read all of them, Xander some, and Buffy none.
