Summary
When Gurathin sneaks away for a trip to the Corporation Rim that brings him right to the company's doorstep, Murderbot and ART don't hesitate to rush after him. Someone has to drag the idiot back home, after all. In the process Murderbot learns more about Gurathin's past than it ever cared to know—a past that quickly catches up with them, and puts them all in even more danger than anticipated.
Worst of all, Murderbot might find itself in the position where it has to admit that maybe it does like Gurathin. At least a little bit. Not in a weird way.

Summary
"I still don't get what the big deal is," Jon complains once Tim lapses into silence.
"Yeah, yeah," Tim says, turning in the booth to give Jon a lopsided smile. "I know. You're immune to this pesky thing called sexual attraction."
From someone else, this kind of teasing could easily rub Jon the wrong way, but Tim says it with such fondness that he simply snorts and says, "Damn right I am."
Tim throws his head back and laughs, and Jon grins, forgetting for a moment where they are. This kind of banter is familiar, established after years of being first co-workers and then friends in Research, and it's only when Sasha joins the laughter that Jon remembers it's not just the two of them. He freezes. Tim's eyes go wide. Jon wrenches his eyes away from Tim to look at Martin. The only one at the table who doesn't yet know that Jon is asexual.

Summary
I didn't mean to get attached to the human who'd fallen through the rift into my reality. But what was a terrifying murderbot supposed to do when that human was hurt, lost, and determined to search the whole universe for his favourite human?
Or: after cutting the tether and sending away the Fears, Jon wakes up Somewhere Else—without Martin by his side. Thankfully, a certain someone refuses to leave him to fend for himself. Really, humans shouldn't do their own security…

Summary
Martin has long been fed up with his family who's still trying to pair him off with a woman. When his cousin's wedding is coming up, Tim has the solution for him: he's going to pretend to be Martin's boyfriend. A foolproof plan, if it weren't for their feelings getting in the way. Feelings for each other—and for Jon.
Meanwhile, Jon is having some kind of emotion about this whole fake dating thing, but it isn’t jealousy. Certainly not. He couldn’t even tell you who he’s jealous of.
