Recovery Trajectory (emotions, yay) by QuintessentialShip
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
I had installed the mental health module but hadn’t toggled it on yet. Which is why I was now in my cabin arguing with a bossy machine super-intelligence over how many emotions I might be capable of having.
I had completed a total of one part of one step in the trauma recovery process and didn’t want to continue. Ever since we got the hell out of that system where ART got deleted and I thought it was dead, and I got contaminated and 2.0 sacrificed itself –
SecUnit.
I didn’t really want to revisit all that.
SecUnit, ART said more forcefully. Your stats are dropping.
Right. Get it together, Murderbot. It was probably too late to throw myself out the airlock.
----
For prompt 175: ART helps SecUnit navigate labeling its emotions for the Emotion Check module. -

Edwin and Charles, feeling lonely and heart tender after a difficult night apart, impulsively take comfort in each other.
Have some non-explicit smut with a sprinkle of angst.

Summary
It’s raining. Inside the office. Edwin is irritated. Crystal is irritated. Charles is just happy to be spending time with his two favorite people.
This is just a very silly little fic! Enjoy!

Summary
I love that the boys have this dynamic where Edwin holds out his hand and Charles just knows to give him whatever thing he needs. Except that sometime after Port Townsend, Edwin turns his hand toward Charles and Charles thinks he wants to hold hands.
They both get a little flustered.

Summary
It was just A Lot – to have never been held in that way, touched in that way, to have never had his layers removed in front of another. Edwin was acutely aware of his lack of experience. Every touch from Charles felt not nearly enough and yet completely overwhelming at the same time. But he so desperately wanted more.
So they were taking things slow.

Summary
SecUnit and ART watch a musical theatre performance involving two human-form bots that fall in love. SecUnit thinks romance is dumb, but it's cool to see media where bots can be such good friends, the way that it and ART are good friends.
ART quietly has a panic attack.

Murderbot doesn't realize how beloved it is. It's going to take a lot of convincing.

Mutual Rapport event fill! for the prompt:
"ART is always putting SecUnit back together, how about this time SecUnit needs to put ART back together? It's got to get into ART's walls or the floor or some kind of crawlspace and put it back together (think like an electrician or someone repairing your car type situation, lots of manual labour and wires of different colours)."- Language:
