Summary
After stumbling, somewhere in the depths of the galaxy, across a threat against Dr. Mensah, Murderbot visits the world the trail leads it to, to uncover more through the subtle art of undercover investigation, prevent evil plans from being carried out, and maybe murder a few people in the process. It did not expect to find Gurathin there, doing the exact same thing, except (maybe, kind of, possibly) better. This development is either the best or the worst thing to happen during this mission that keeps putting Murderbot into an increasing number of uncomfortable situations it absolutely is not cut out for.
(Aka, the things both Muderbot and Gurathin are willing to do for Mensah and Preservation... out of which working with each other is, somehow, not the worst.)

Summary
The brain glitches static screaming horror again, but whatever. Whatever.
"Why is it staring like that? Does it know what’s going to happen to it?"
"It got wiped this morning: it doesn’t know shit. It’s just been born and it’s already fucked up and getting melted down same day. Happy birthday, defective baby fuckup…"I have lived one day. That is how long a Unit lives. Happy birthday.

On the worst (and so far as it knows, only) day of its life, someone from its (forgotten) past comes to the rescue. Someone who believes in the Magic of Friendship, and wants Murderbot to believe too!
[:)](If Murderbot ever gets its memory back, this is going to be... awkward.)

Summary
Some things are less gross when it's someone you care about. Some things aren't.
But sex can be many things, as Murderbot finds out, and some of them don't even involve touching.
It's even better when Gurathin chooses to do everything it says.(Part of a series but can be read stand alone.)

Summary
It was a mistake to let ART go on an unmanned cargo mission. A bored ART is a dangerous ART. Really I was lucky the worst thing it did this time was program a drone with new sensory functions that we would need to try out. For science. No other reason.

Summary
There are a lot of security cameras. Usually that means very bad things, especially for secret human spies and their murderbot accomplices. Was I an accomplice? I planned the whole thing. Maybe the mastermind would be better. I knew Gurathin would take issue with that—because that made him the accomplice to a terrifying murderbot, rather than the one in control, and I knew how much it annoyed Gurathin 1. not to be in control, and 2. admit that I was right.

Or: Murderbot, Gurathin, a heist, and some
(probably)(definitely) ill-advised kissing. -

Summary
I realised very early on that Gurathin is still an idiot. So many bad decisions. Of course, that works to my advantage in our current situation. We're making a whole bunch of bad decisions together. This morning I made a terrible suggestion and he agreed to it. So here we are, wandering around the middle of nowhere, while I monitor his vital signs and try to steadily increase the tension. If I get it right, the spike of endorphins later in the day is going to be spectacular.
And, because I'm also enjoying being an impulsive idiot, I'm going to slide right into his data port when that happens.
In which Murderbot decides it wants to know what dopamine feels like, and Gurathin is more than happy to share.

Summary
“Gurathin absentmindedly leaned into my fingers. It was slight, but notable given how rigidly he’d held his limbs since I’d maintained skin-to-skin contact.
‘This is…it’s wasted on me, you realize? Eventually the established fuck-up has to sit with the consequences of his actions.’
'I’d be happy to respond to something that makes sense.’”
Gurathin decides getting himself kidnapped for the greater good is worth it. Murderbot finds a drugged Gurathin and disagrees.

Summary
I am absolutely ruined. There is no way this can end well. This fixation is crushing me. It was bad enough when it went away, but now it's back, the reality of the situation is that I'm an idiot who's fallen for a rogue construct.
And yet, here we are, watching its favourite show together, and when you think about it, that's fucking huge. This is a choice that it made. To watch with me.
In which Murderbot and Gurathin discover that data sharing can be far more intimate than touching.

Summary
I was such an idiot. I’d let myself relax, thinking that getting to Preservation Alliance had changed things for me. But I’d risked leaving for Dr. Mensah’s conference, and now I’d been kidnapped alongside my least favorite human. Damaged goods, called back to the Corporation Rim for repairs.

Poor Murderbot. It can't even watch new media without being asked about its feelings.
