  2. Summary

    A series of unrelated fics in which a SecUnit (usually Murderbot) is on company inventory and dealing with its governor module, or hiding its hack of its governor module.

    The fics are arranged semi-chronologically relative to Murderbot's timeline, but they can be read independently and in any order. All are a balance of angst with hope, except for everything, this, me especially which is more of a mix of fluff, angst and humor. And then there's to hide oneself in a corner as a way to seek refuge from reality, which is just a silly drabble featuring Lexicon.

    Stories by molecular_machine, with art and podfic by DoomNightAt12 and Kitsunebaba in The Junkyard Society of Discarded Robots.

  3. Summary

    A collection of unrelated post-canon short stories about ART and Murderbot sticking together during difficult times. All are sad, none are hopeless. Arranged in order from least to most sad (individual results may vary), with only the first fic being pretty gentle. Their relationship is portrayed as somewhere on the friendship/ partnership/ queerplatonic type spectrums.

  4. Summary

    Short works set in FlipSpring's NULLverse: The Bot-Construct Disaster Squad canon divergence series. Tone and content varies, so check individual tags and warnings. Context is provided in each fic, if you want to read these as standalones, although reading NULLverse is recommended because it is awesome. The fics in this series are all "NULLverse canon compliant" bonus scenes that are arranged in order of the corresponding inspired-by work.

    Summary

    “Peri,” he said finally.
    Yes, Captain Seth? Peri replied.
    “No,” he said. “I'm not talking to you as captain. Yet. You're talking to Dad.”
    Oh. It sounded hesitant, which was unusual. It had also paused a lot longer than he expected. Okay.
