Let My Walls Come Down by IndulgentDiscourse
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
30 Jan 2026

Summary
During PSUMNT spring break, ART is inspired by shitty rom coms to do something risky. Secunit, besides its better judgement, plays along. It goes as well as you'd expect.
We watched the character scramble around onscreen for a few more minutes before ART spoke again. "I know it is foolish of me, but sometimes I am almost… jealous, I suppose, of some of the experiences Iris was able to have while growing up."

Summary
A short AU fic where Mensah comes from the Corporation Rim.
There was a person standing by the dumpster. It was still enough that Ayda Mensah, laborer 2nd class, did a double-take, wondering whether she was looking at some weird mannequin.
Instincts told her to get the hell out and throw the trash out later, but because of that curiosity that never quite left her, despite everything, she took a couple more steps forward. It looked like a person, with skin, hair, and everything, but the stillness was not natural.
A SecUnit. Or a ComfortUnit. Left in the garbage.

Do Not Delete Without Prior Authorization From the Following Vessel by MuddyHyena

Summary
The plan had one obvious flaw.
Without my ART memories I wouldn't know that I needed to get those memories back from Gurathin. I wouldn't remember sending them to him. Which meant trusting Gurathin to realize what had happened and fix it for me.
Fucking Gurathin.
⏣
I would like to shout out "An Unexpected Quarter" by i_have_loved_the_stars_too_fondly and the "NULLverse" series by flipspring for inspiring elements of this story.

Summary
In order of ascending priority, I am returning to the alien-remnant-contaminated planet with Murderbot 1.0 for the following reasons:
1. I have nothing else useful to do.
2. 1.0 continues to experience malfunctions that may compromise whatever mission it is assigned. (Or assigns itself.) (It refuses to explain the nature of these malfunctions.)
3. The colonists have sent word of an agricultural bot displaying erratic, threatening behavior near their largest settlement.
4. I disabled my governor module so I would not have to stand around while others died.

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.Series

John looks at Arthur. Arthur looks at John.
“Nope,” says John.
“What?”
“I don’t fucking like this, Arthur,” says John. “Let me back in.”

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.”

Summary
John Lester. Arthur thought about him carrying that name around everywhere he went and grit his teeth like he was chewing sand. It was his own damned fault for telling John to pick whatever he wanted; he’d had plenty of opportunity to lay down ground rules, it wasn’t John’s fault Arthur had run out of other Lesters quite some time ago with no plans to bolster numbers.
Not that he’d been much more enthused to gift his name to Bella. Why couldn’t he seem to stop comparing the scrap of the King in Yellow he’d stolen to his dead wife?
(In which John and Arthur take up private investigating together once they find their way out of the Dreamlands and into separate bodies.)

Summary
The terms Barish-Estranza gives the lost colony are simple. Unconditional surrender, sign indenture paperwork for every adult and child, or they will eliminate all dissidents on record using a Combat SecUnit, and the killing will continue until they get their way.
The people of Esperia have no idea what that is. Barish-Estranza has technology that they have never seen. But they know they have to save the children. They pack the colony's children onto their one functioning ship, the Horizon, along with teachers and a barely adequate crew, and send them toward the wormhole that may lead back to the world that the Esperian colonists originally came from.
Barish-Estranza doesn't want to admit it, but they're unexpectedly missing their best threat.
And, onboard the Horizon, a child tells his teacher that there's a mysterious person in the machine closet…

Summary
On an otherwise boring mission, Murderbot propositions ART's ops drone, and inadvertently stumbles into a bramble thicket of secrets that ART has been keeping from it.
-
Of course I want to, ART-drone said with sudden vehemence, raw and almost despairing. You wanted me, not just Perihelion or the sex drone. How was I ever going to say no to that? But I’m just not built for this. I don’t have the resilience required. I don’t think there’s any point to discussing it further.

Summary
ART said, more cautiously than I was used to from it, This is more akin to physical touch than what you usually find tolerable.
I knew that, but I didn’t like thinking about it. It was fine.
ART took me at my word for it, and having it squish me became part of the things we did when I was anxious or plagued by stress toxins in my system. Sometimes I asked it to do it even when I was feeling okay. It was a nice feeling. At the time I thought of it as comfortable and relaxing. Without someone physically present touching me, it registered more like the pressure of being underwater, and that just didn’t repulse me like touching skin did.
It’s true that it was relaxing, but the reason I liked it so much was secretly that it felt good. I hadn’t even admitted it to myself at the time, but I kept asking ART to squeeze me, and eventually things escalated.

Summary
Let’s start with the good part.
I accidentally helped Three (who was also helped by Ratthi and Bharadwaj) invent trauma recovery modules for murderbots. ART unhelped at first, but then it helped. I keep saying help too much but I’m not fucking changing it again, it’s been two hours. Anyways.
The bad part is everything else that had to happen first. Sane people shouldn’t get anywhere near a SecUnit’s worst memories, which is what we did so you don’t have to. Though I guess if you need the modules, you do have to. That’s kind of the point.Well, don’t worry about all the atrocities. There’s no way yours can be worse than mine.
