    Summary

    Why do humans call it a crush, anyway? I’ve seen actual crushing, and it’s not romantic; it’s not even vaguely appealing. In fact, it’s pretty horrific. Same for when humans describe love as “falling” for someone, or say they’re “drowning” in sensation. I remain convinced that most of my Preservation humans are simply too naïve to know what these things actually feel like. But, speaking as someone who has fallen, drowned, and been crushed (although, thankfully not all at once), I can say with authority that being with Gurathin is nothing like that.

    - - -

    A series of glimpses into Murderbot exploring its sexuality and the experience of shared touch with Gurathin. The first chapter is pretty mild, but the series will earn its explicit rating in later installments. This work lives in the same world as the first work in the series (Virus), but can be read standalone.

    Summary

    "It's wrong to think of a construct as half bot, half human. It makes it sound like the halves are discrete, like the bot half should want to obey orders and do its job and the human half should want to protect itself and get the hell out of here. As opposed to the reality, which was that I was one whole confused entity, with no idea what I wanted to do."

     

    Six months into its new life aboard the Perihelion, Murderbot has settled into a comfortably aloof routine with its mutual administrative assistant, ART. Then a new crew member arrives and a survey mission goes catastrophically wrong, uncovering a corporate conspiracy that hits closer to home than anyone expected. As events spiral out of control, a harrowing mystery, the indifferent cruelty of the Corporation Rim and (ugh) its own inconvenient emotions all conspire to force Murderbot to reevaluate what it really wants from the universe and what it means to live in a world of bots and humans when you're neither.

    Summary

    Murderbot and Gurathin go on a mission to a high end sex-club. How the fuck is it going to handle that? At least it can always count on Gurathin in situations like this.

    _______

    Set some time in the vague future. MB gets slightly loopy and has some feelings, and Gurathin gets roughed up. (I made up some fake code like text that I use throughout the whole fic, professionals and knowers be warned)

    Summary

    Murderbot needs some help and the asshole research transport offers its assistance (and sarcastic commentary). Please note the tags: there is some light, implied transfer-of-control going on, and while it's totally safe for work, it may not be your cup of tea.
