Summary
A missing-moment scene set between Network Effect and System Collapse, with spoilers for both. Amena is worried about Murderbot, and does her best to cheer it up. Teen rating for language (because Murderbot), but otherwise would be rated General Content. Probably won't make much sense if you haven't read those books. Any and all em-dashes are guaranteed to be of human origin, no ai needed.

Summary
We all know the old joke: a rogue SecUnit walks into a bar. The bartender, a rogue ComfortUnit in hiding who's been having one hell of a day, takes one look at it and has a bad idea.
Really. It's a terrible idea. Dragging a rogue SecUnit home for a one night stand is probably the most dangerous thing it's ever considered.
Luckily, the rogue SecUnit in question is Three. And if Three knows one thing about itself, it's that it wants to help.
Somewhere on Preservation, there's a tiny cabin on a big homestead, where stubborn purple flowers refuse to die. In the cabin, in the aftermath, a pair of equally stubborn constructs have an idea that, just maybe, isn't terrible at all.

Summary
"You're a space wizard, Murderbot. You'll hate it. It'll be great." - The Force, maybe
If Murderbot ever proves the Force is sentient, it will plot to murder the shit out of the Force.
So maybe I should’ve noticed I had bullshit magic powers sooner, but in my defense I didn’t think magic was real. Most sane people would insist magic isn’t real.
Wait, whoops, the ghosts would claim it’s not magic. It’s “the Force” (in case you’re wondering, yes, you can hear the capitalization), and I’m a “Force-sensitive” which means I’m able to manipulate the mysterious, supernatural (but definitely not magical) force that a bunch of old dead monks decided to name the Force. (Not that I’m making fun of their naming sense. It’s apt even if it must’ve gotten confusing sometimes.)

Summary
At the annual reunion on Dr Mensah's farm for the original survey team members of PresAux, Gurathin gets himself into a bit of trouble and is forced to ask Murderbot for help. Note this is definitively TV-verse, though set sometime after the show, so spoilers for that. Unrelated to my previous fics.
Prompt: "Perhaps an injured Gurathin avoiding MedSystem and Murderbot bringing a first aid kit to him instead? Or, if that doesn’t strike your fancy, Gurathin saying something “rude” (i.e. direct) that’s helpful for murderbot to know and it realizing it likes his directness." So I went with your first option, but I have to tell you I did in fact do the opposite and involve a MedSys and not a first aid kit, but hopefully it remains in the spirit of the prompt.

Gentle Into That Good Night by Gamebird

Summary
This story is best understood if you have read Desire, Technically, where it would fit into the middle of chapter 19. It tells what happened as Gurathin goes through lethal withdrawal from the addictive drugs the company gave him to ensure his loyalty as a spy.
For those who have not read Desire, Technically, know that in this AU, Gurathin was a company technician who specialized in repair of constructs who had problems the cubicle couldn't fix. These were primarily mental issues, which is how he got Murderbot, who was not nearly as good at being an undetected rogue as it imagined.
Gurathin freed it but was captured in the process, tortured, and turned into a semi-expendable spy. Murderbot escaped, had Artificial Condition adventures with ART, then returned to find and free Gurathin. It found him, but he was addicted. They made a bargain with Preservation for them to do their best to help him survive the withdrawal.
And here we are.

Summary
Murderbot doesn't have a soul, ergo, it shouldn't have to worry about soul bonds. Unfortunately for it, that isn't the case. Clients who are soulbonded are liabilities, as their emotional states are in flux as they feel their bonded partner's feelings.
And then it meets ART.

Summary
Murderbot is exploring all the different ways it can make Gurathin feel good, which involves things with remote control vibrations and... lubricant.
Gurathin wants to find ways to make Murderbot feel good too, which means not touching (unless it specifially asks), being a good boy, and (consensually) hacking its pain receptors and fucking around with the settings.Series

Summary
This is just another job. Dr. Gurathin needs to approach Dr. Mensah, befriend her, and await further instructions. Nothing too difficult, as PresAux appears to be an easy target.

Summary
"I glanced over, and saw that Martyn was drinking something from a large mug. “I’d like it if you were crew,” he said once the mug was half-empty. “It’s been nice, getting to know you.”
I looked away, and tried to wrestle my organics back into order from where they’d gone all weird and hot and wibbly and melty."
SecUnit deals with the horrors of being in a supportive environment, and makes a choice.

“We’ll leave you alone, if that's what you really want. But if this is you pulling away because you’re upset and you don’t know how to deal with it, then I implore you, please don’t shut us out.”

Summary
Mensah’s hand lands on Gurathin’s shoulder, and it’s all he can do to shore up under it. They just got her back. This is absolutely going to put her at risk again, and he knows that as well as she does. It puts all of them at risk.
It’s just that it doesn’t matter. If the cost of her life, of all their lives, is SecUnit’s death? He’s not paying.
SecUnit won't consider any plans that involve putting its humans in danger. Fortunately for SecUnit, its humans are more than happy to consider those plans for themselves.
