Fics like Do automata dream of electric spaghetti?

“Oh fuck,” Richie moans. “Please don’t let it be a dead body, I will so vomit.” But now that he can see it better, the stripe of skin that's peeking out of a sock is too smooth to be human, it reminds more of a— "Doll." The word leaves his lips with a not small dose of relief. He hooks a finger under the sheet that covers it and, keeping as far away from it as possible, he lifts it up and away. There's a boy underneath. Well, it's a doll, Richie wasn't wrong about that, but it looks like a boy, roughly Richie's age. The Uncanny Valley effect is difficult to ignore: the face of the doll is alarmingly realistic, and so are the brown locks of its hair and the proportions of the body. He keeps waiting for it to blink its eyes open. Richie waits. It doesn't blink. Until one day, it does. (Or: Richie is lonely, Eddie is an automaton rotting away in Neibolt House, and the Turtle decides to play matchmaker in a very unorthodox way.)
