The Care & Keeping of Augmented Humans by writingmonsters
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Murderbot (TV)
19 Oct 2025

Summary
From what I understand, the human brain is basically an electrical meatball. A very sophisticated meatball, to be sure, but still – organic.
That organic human neural tissue – unless very carefully cultivated under very specific laboratory parameters – doesn’t always play nicely with the non-organic bits. And even then, see example: me.
That wasn’t even including the fact that Gurathin had received his augments in the Corporation Rim and company equipment – see again: me – wasn’t exactly premium quality.
UPDATE 10/20/25: minor edits to chapter two

Totaled Doesn't Mean Irreparable by Scarlet_Tanager

Summary
When Murderbot gets (almost) fatally injured during a routine mission it has to deal with the emotional fallout from itself, all of its humans, one paranoid machine intelligence with enough power to make sure it never goes anywhere again, and the damage it does to one interpersonal relationship. Ugh, so many emotions.

Summary
"My name was Julian Alfred Pankratz. I was the Viscount's youngest son."
Like he hoped, the Warlord hones in on one thing. "Was."
"Pretty sure getting arrested for treason against Emhyr var Emeris, the mighty White Flame is enough to get me officially disinherited. Especially considering my parents turned me in themselves."
Jaskier saves the Warlord's daughter. Despite his family ties, he's allowed to stay in Kaer Morhen while he recovers from his injuries. Eventually, it becomes home.

Summary
They say cats have nine lives, but truthfully Jaskier has long lost count of his.
Jaskier has always been very good at playing pretend. It gets harder after Geralt’s harsh words on the mountain. It gets harder still when he has to save a rogue Wolf and his Child Surprise from Nilfgaard’s gathering forces.

Summary
Alastor doesn’t sleep, and Lucifer is increasingly concerned about the health – and sanity – of his prickly Radio Demon. Unfortunately, there is never a dull moment at the Hazbin Hotel and between Charlie’s press plans, Heavenly interference, the irritating machinations of the TV Demon, and Alastor’s own terrible self-care Lucifer has his work cut out for him if he’s ever going to get Alastor a good nights sleep.

pelt stewardship, and other signs of devotion by PenAndInkPrincess
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, The Witcher (TV)
21 May 2022
Tags
Summary
It’s hard, at times, to keep playing at ignorance when the intrepid little moron dumps out the entire bundle of his sleek, downy-soft pelt in search of a new quill, but if he isn’t going to bring it up, Geralt’s certainly not going to pry, even though he does have to prompt the bard surreptitiously more than a few times when the flighty little pest evidently forgets all about his pelt and moves to happily trot along on his way, his freedom left behind in the dust. It’s a fine line Geralt walks, playing dumb while hyper-aware of the situation, but he manages to hold his peace and remain silent even when he wants to scold the selkie to be fucking careful. The bard babbles along at length throughout the day enough without prompting; gods forfend Geralt give him any sign of encouragement for more.
Still, despite Geralt’s best efforts, he finds that the selkie–who has chosen Jaskier as his name of all things–is growing on him.
It is, in a few words, fucking obnoxious.
(Jaskier is a selkie who is absolutely HORRIFIC at keeping up with his pelt) (lucky, then, that he has a witcher to do it for him)

Summary
Supper secured and stuffed away in his trousers, he looks up to find the silver-haired stranger in the corner, the one person who hadn’t heckled him. The man is objectively gorgeous, with fascinating hair and a body that makes Jaskier’s mouth water a little.
Oh yes, he decides quickly, he will be climbing this stranger like a tree.
He’s a little wrong-footed when he works out that the stranger is a witcher with big scary swords Jaskier’s heard horror stories about, but after a quick moment of thought, he also thinks about how very many things the fae elders have been wrong about all his life and decides to ignore them once again. The witcher–Geralt of supposedly Rivia, even though Jaskier can tell from his accent that that’s a lie–tries to get rid of him, but Jaskier is nothing if he’s not determined, and he’s simply too damn interested to get scared off easily.
The witcher has clearly not realized that Jaskier is something to be hunted, and Jaskier, well, he’s never excelled at silly things like self-preservation.

Summary
"Fine," Lucifer decided. "How about a deal then?"
A spark of interest lit up Alastor's tired eyes.
"I came here to talk to you about Charlie. Seeing us fighting upsets her, and I don't want to hurt her if I can help it. So here's what I propose: for Charlie, we play nice. You can hate me, fight me, insult me in private all you want, but in front of Charlie? We're friends. If she ropes us into one of her redemption exercises, we do it, no complaints. If she asks if we're getting along, and some snide remark comes to mind, you hold your tongue. If anyone sees us arguing and it has even the smallest chance of it getting back to Charlie, we drop it. You do this, and I'll heal you." Lucifer stuck out his hand. "Deal?"

Summary
There is one element of his time at Kaer Morhen that remains a problem, however: his room is fucking freezing.
Jaskier sets his teeth and wraps his arms tighter around himself, curling inwards as if that’ll provide him with more warmth. He’s already beneath every layer he’s been able to gather, wrapped into a ball of sheets and blankets and furs. He’s even pulled on two pairs of thick wool socks borrowed from Kaer Morhen’s stores, but he can still feel the tingle of chill in his toes. He tries to think of warm things: hot toddies, mulled wine, summer sunshine, sharing beds with-
He cuts himself off.
(Jaskier is settling into Kaer Morhen, but he has a persistent problem: he's freezing in his room at night. unfortunately, he's also terrified of fire)
