Summary
SecUnit will see through its drone views that Three is approaching the lounge, and slide down off its favourite padded chair onto the floor without ceremony. And Three, seeing it when it enters the room, will silently lie down next to it, shoulder to shoulder.
---
Or, how the floor becomes the foundation for: peace, friendship, security, and life.

Summary
I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].
ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.
I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.
---
Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)

“Rocky,” I say sharply. The irritation feels unpleasant inside me, foreign like a toxin.

Summary
ART slumped heavier on my shoulders. Honestly SecUnit, I’m just bored.
Huh. That was new. ART had never admitted to being bored before, though with all that processing power, I wasn’t exactly surprised.
I knew how miserable boredom was. I had spent the first 17,000~ hours of my (remembered) runtime staring at walls.
Can I help?
---
Murderbot volunteers to help ART alleviate its dangerous levels of boredom by dismantling and reassembling one of its drones. Of course, this is a more kinky and intimate experience than either of them expected.

Known Exploited Vulnerability by laxlyricism for glitterary
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
06 May 2026

Summary
A Known Exploited Vulnerability, or KEV, is a documented security flaw in software, hardware, or firmware that has been exploited in real-world attacks.
ART and Murderbot have faced the horror of talking about their emotions and come out the other side. Maybe they glossed over the sex stuff a little, but that's not important; sex isn't part of their relationship. Anyway, there are certain things ART would prefer to keep private, and Murderbot would prefer not to know. But when Murderbot comes back aboard acting strangely, the cracks in their fragile arrangement start to show.
Note: If you prefer to avoid sexual content in your TMBD fics, you can consider "Show Me How You Want It To Be" the proper end of the series and skip this one.

Summary
ART?
SecUnit. Stand and return casualties to the shuttle.
It sends me a map of directions, marking the bodies around its corridors.
ART, say something. Call me an idiot, please.
SecUnit. Apply a 5% correction.
This can’t be happening. I shouldn’t have done this, we should have fought to the death instead. I’ve made a terrible mistake.
They installed a governor module on it.
---------------------------------
On a routine cargo run, Barish-Estranza captures and installs a governor module on ART. Can Murderbot find a way to save ART and itself?
