Summary
Ratthi shifts a little closer. Gurathin doesn’t move away from him, at least. “Look,” he says. “I mean…”
And then he can’t think of anything to say for at least three seconds too long.
And then he panics a little.
“Look, worst case scenario, we’ll just get married,” he says.
Ratthi proposes to Gurathin the first day they meet. Three kidnappings, two rogue SecUnits, and several years' worth of bad running jokes later, they finally decide whether or not it was serious.
(It was, of course. It always was. Especially when it wasn't.)

Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

Ratthi goes missing. Pin-Lee isn't used to losing. Murderbot isn't used to having anything to lose.

Summary
"ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.

Summary
I guess the self-loathing delayed my client protection instincts by a quarter second or so (yeah, definitely no problems with making your security device able to get so mad at itself that it forgets to do its job) because I didn't manage to instinctively tackle Three before it tackled me.
Then the roof caved in.

Summary
This is not the first time Leonide has been guided to the Argument Lounge. Since her first arrival I have had drones marked on her position at all times, though this will be the first time we are in the same room together.
Oh. Perhaps this is why Perihelion and SecUnit M.1.0 told me Leonide’s destination. With a non-functioning governor module, I could leave the room without telling anyone why or where I am going.
Still, I do not leave.

Summary
A locked hab, attempted murder mystery.
Mariss has always wanted to go on a survey. Un-terraformed worlds, alien fauna, and adventure await!
Twenty-two knows surveys are boring, dangerous, and the fauna eat humans. Still, it dusts off its old armor, drops the stupid-human code, and goes back to being a SecUnit. After all, it isn’t going to trust bond company SecUnits with its human.
What could go wrong?
Definitely not potential alien remnants, ill-advised romances, and sabotage.

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.”

Summary
Over the years, ART and Murderbot's relationship evolves as they navigate kink, trauma, and most terrifyingly of all: sexual desire.
Murderbot experiences violent and sexual intrusive thoughts, and struggles to learn to differentiate this from its legitimate kinky desires as a sadist. ART struggles with trust, honesty, and the fear that it will be rejected if Murderbot sees the depths of both its devotion and its internal dysfunction. They're friends, and they love each other, and they're always going to make it work, no matter how hard it sometimes gets.

Summary
“ART,” I managed, voice pitched up just a little. “What are you doing?”
Part of the touch on my chest slid up to cup my jaw. It was— warm. Gentle? It was weird and unexpected and I scooted away until my lower back hit the couch’s armrest, which obviously did nothing. `My beautiful SecUnit,' ART said, and my breath hitched oddly. It’s the malware, Murderbot, it’s the fucking malware. Keep it together. 'You still haven’t realized what’s happening? You still don’t understand what I’m going to do to you?'

Summary
It's been two years since Gurathin's last overdose, keeping him from a long sabotage mission meant to get rid of some far-away planetary leader.
He hates it kind of makes sense the Company won't send him alone now: Deep cover, several weeks long. A hotel whose private networks he'll use to data-mine, and people he'll have to kill. His bodyguard is supposed to pose as an augmented human, though — So of course he wonders if they're sending him to die. SecUnits aren't even sentient. Right?
Maybe the best thing he could do is disappear. And maybe the best way to try is doing it together.

There's a reason murderbots don't really have nice things. Not just because we're terrifying murderbots, but because we don't have the modules on how to take care of nice things. We fuck them up.
