Summary
SecUnit Three has been free for a very short time and is not doing well. As it tries to navigate the first personal request of its life, it makes lists. The request is more emotionally catastrophic than it realized, and there is probably a very, very good reason why Murderbot initially said no…

Summary
Maybe there was meant to be a love story here, one between a fearless lawyer and a selfless monk, two single-minded, do-gooder leader types. Instead this sad little clown house got them, two mistakes, two con artists from opposite ends of the country.
Welcome to the bottom of the barrel.
(Or: The reboot wherein Eleanor and Jason are matched as soul mates, and it isn't perfect but things go surprisingly sort of okay.)

maybe in another life (the universe will let me keep you) by stranded_star for zoicite
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir

Summary
Aiglamene's life has been long, and brutal, pockmarked by primordial dreaming like the kiss of blade to bone. Oss, tallow, blood, incense - the Tomb. The pulse of thanergy, just out of her reach.
None of it is so obliterating as the feel of rotted flesh where a dead girl's heart should be.
---
Aiglamene and Gideon share a moment after the events of Nona the Ninth.

Summary
In the first days of Zagreus's tutelage, Achilles is still full of wrath more than anything. His bitterness toward the gods is untempered, and before him stands one of their scions, vulnerable and yet immortal, able to take however much he chooses to dish out.
(Or, perhaps, not so immortal after all. And in the end, very vulnerable indeed.)

Summary
Gurathin doesn’t sleep, the night that it leaves. Too much has happened – too much has changed – too much to think about. And, besides that, the residual panic, the residual headache and tension in his skull and spine, the spiralling thoughts about how he’s going to break it to the others that it’s left–
The next night, though – when he finally collapses, exhausted, into his bunk – he sleeps. He almost immediately wishes he hadn’t.
(It turns out, downloading a person into your brain has Consequences, Actually. Who'd have thought. Gurathin finds this out the hard way.)

Summary
I used to have fantasies about saving my mother, maybe from a desert island she might have miraculously washed up on. Maybe she survived, I’d tell myself. What if she survived? What if I could save her?
I played superhero a lot before she — before the Yeerk in her head faked her death. I guess I thought I was all that. I guess I thought I could rescue her, when in reality, I’d already failed. I wanted to slap myself.
Two years ago, I had thought I’d lost my mother in the sea. Now, I’d lost her in the sky. Two incredibly large expanses, endless, forever.
Why did I keep losing her?
or, after finding out his mother is alive, Marco reflects. He keeps secrets. Then the group calls a meeting about the subject of Visser One, and discuss the possibility of killing her, and Marco needs to keep even more secrets. He can't let them know who they're really talking about here. He can't let anybody know.

A Universal Constant by godlikeadog
Fandoms: The Locked Tomb Series | Gideon the Ninth Series - Tamsyn Muir
30 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Harrowhark Nonagesimus knew two things: she knew she was the greatest necromancer of her generation, and she knew Gideon Nav.
"Gravity," her hands tensed around Gideon's wrists, "is a universal constant that is, in a literal and metaphorical sense, grounding. It is inescapable. Given enough time, it will flatten each and every one of us into grave dirt. It is a force created by a massive object pulling a smaller one into orbit and keeping it there; it holds us to the planet, the planets to Dominicus, Dominicus to space itself. I have even heard that gravity can undo physical realities and squeeze light out of existence."
//
Canon divergent AU in which Harrow beats Gideon to the punch on self-sacrifice and leaves Gideon to deal with the fall-out and feelings.
