    Summary

    "Yeah," Zuko laughs. "I'd say you got off pretty easy." It's a testament to how comfortable he is around everyone that it's so easy for it to slip out: "My first crush was a disaster." 

    "Ooh," Toph croons, "Zuko? A crush? This, I have to hear."

    Zuko abruptly hears what he just said, abruptly remembers the events he'd tried so hard to forget.

    ~

    The Gaang are on vacation, post-everything. One night, around the fire, Zuko gets a little too comfortable and lets something slip.

    Four times having a governor module fucking sucked, plus one time [REDACTED: FILE MISSING].

    (Or: Murderbot has Emotions for 8,000 words. ART tries to help. So does Dr. Mensah, but like, in a decidedly less assholish way.)

    Past Warranty by

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
    “Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
    “Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
    Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.
