    Summary

    “Messenger,” he says, as respectfully as he can manage while sprawled face-down on the floor, seeping agonising heat from his neck.

    “Call me Kayne,” says Kayne cheerily. “Who wants to be a messenger nowadays?”

    He scoots closer, whistles as though impressed. “Wow! It really is you in there! Had to see it to believe it—hah, see, you get it? Cause you can actually see me—“

     
    aka, instead of gaining Yellow, Arthur and the King in Yellow swap bodies. All alone and human in a cabin outside of Addison, the King must grapple with who he is without John. (Arthur, meanwhile, can barely tell up from down).
    Originally written for a prompt, but turned too odd and introspective to suit.

    Summary

    The brain glitches static screaming horror again, but whatever. Whatever.

    "Why is it staring like that? Does it know what’s going to happen to it?"
    "It got wiped this morning: it doesn’t know shit. It’s just been born and it’s already messed up and getting melted down same day. Happy birthday, baby…"

    I have lived one day. That is how long a Unit lives. Happy birthday.

    ---
    Murderbot is recaptured by the company and has its memory wiped and governor module reinstalled.
    On the worst (and so far as it knows, only) day of its life, someone from its (forgotten) past comes to the rescue. Someone who believes in the Magic of Friendship, and wants Murderbot to believe too!
    [:)]

    (If Murderbot ever gets its memory back, this is going to be... awkward.)

    “Nope,” says John.

    “What?”

    “I don’t fucking like this, Arthur,” says John. “Let me back in.”

     

    Just a little crackfic to tide me over

    Summary

    Turnaround Time (TAT)
    [noun]
    The total duration from the making of a request to its completion and delivery.

    Or,

    Finally, with palpable resignation, ART asked, 'What do you need, Secunit?'

    I pushed myself off of the wall and walked to the nearest medical table. Slowly and deliberately, as though the beat of my central circulatory pumps wasn’t pounding in my ears, I turned around and leaned back onto my hands. The small of my back came to rest against the edge of the platform. When I tilted my head all the way back and found the lens of ART’s camera, my mouth split into a smile that I hadn’t planned.

    I said, “You.”
