    Summary

    Bucky wasn’t stupid. He knew he was about to face something that would be grueling and painful and might not have a happy ending. But he wasn’t going to face it alone, and that was something.

    Plus, facing it was his choice. And that was a bigger something.

    Summary

    Bucky blinks at him. "You’re sure your brain wasn’t damaged?"

    "Yes," Steve sputters. "Why do you keep asking that?"

    "I almost killed you," Bucky says, still with almost no emotion in his voice. It’s unclear if he’s questioning Steve because he can’t seem to string a sentence together, or because it’s crazy to tell Bucky he’s still a hero after almost being murdered by him, but it doesn’t matter.

    "You didn’t, though," Steve says firmly. "And you’re… here."

    --

    Steve has never forgotten Bucky Barnes. Not their childhood together, not the horror of the moment Bucky fell too far for him to reach, and not the way he's loved him all the while.

    Bucky has forgotten everything about Steve, at least at first. But there's still a feeling there, warm in his chest—and maybe now that he's found his way back to Steve Rogers and his sunny apartment, there's a chance it might turn into something more.

    Summary

    There's a place up north, they call it the Valley of the Waters, where villagers appear dead on their doorsteps. Despaired, hopeless, there is noone else to turn to but the king of Camelot. It's a three day ride to the valley, four days before the next person dies, and years of history between him and Merlin. It's on Arthur not to drown in it.

    Summary

    “It is not your concern,” ART said. “They are no longer your clients.”
    That was true. They weren’t my clients. But they used to be, and the thought of them going off by themselves to get chewed on by hostile fauna or whatever was doing funny things to my performance reliability.
    I didn’t say that out loud, but ART knew I was thinking it anyway, because it’s a monster.
    “For a construct that claims to hate its function, you are remarkably dedicated to it.” ART does this thing sometimes where it says something that sounds like a compliment but in such an obnoxious tone that it feels like an insult anyway.
    “Fuck off, ART.”
    “You fuck off.”
    So, I decided to go on the survey.

    Several years after they met on RaviHyral, Tapan and her collective contact Murderbot with a job offer. As their security consultant on a planetary survey, Murderbot must contend with malfunctioning equipment, hostile fauna, and an overabundance of human emotion, all while maintaining its increasingly fragile disguise as an augmented human.
