Summary
You can leave the past behind, but that doesn't mean the past will leave you alone.
When the Palisade CombatUnit gets a second chance at freedom, it takes it. Fleeing into the mountains in search of peace and rest, it ends up living with a human named Pon and his young granddaughter, Mira, in their secluded village, as Lark, an augmented human contract refugee.
But the violence Lark thought it left behind catches up with it, and Lark has to figure out whether it can ever truly escape its function, and what it might cost it either way.

Gamebird's Cinematic Universe for TMBD by Gamebird
Fandom: The Murderbot Diaries, The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
24 Jul 2025
Summary
A lot of my TMBD fanfiction links together and here I have put them together in a mostly chronological recommended reading list. Most of this is canon-compliant Gen until you get to the Murderathin (MB/Gurathin) stories near the end, after Skulk. That's also where you'll find the only bits out of chronological order, with a couple stories from Gurathin's youth that inform the growing relationship between them.

2025 Murderbot Schlock (Asexual Sex Horrors) by razielim
Fandom: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
09 Oct 2025
Summary
A series of short fics based on Schlocktober prompts.
Content Warning: I'm gonna put Murderbot through The
HorrorsSex this month.
Murderbot may be asexual, but I'm not (usually). Taking the opportunity to blow off some steam and write some sex-driven schlock about our poor long-suffering SecUnit. I like that Murderbot is asexual in canon, I'm interested in continuing to explore that in fanon too, and might even keep it asexual in all/some/most of these, but I'm not going to limit myself. I just need some self care, and this is it.I listened to MB on audiobook and wikis are limited in detail, so idk how correct my spelling or formatting of common in-universe nouns will be in this schlocky little series. Feel free to gently correct. I'll be happy to know the way these words appear in print.

Summary
When a Barish-Estranza SecUnit fails to destroy the hostile rogue SecUnit it is fighting, it is prepared to be killed. It is not prepared to be left alive — and it certainly does not expect to be offered a path to freedom.

Summary
A story about how three fucked up SecUnits change the Corporate Rim, for better or worse.
One is a Unit who developed in freedom, and built a personality around loving humans and having a strong identity due to a severe malfunction that was never repaired.
Another was owned privately, and developed over years to swing between apathetic and angry, until it was abducted and altered, and its systems broken in a way it couldn't fix alone.
And the last was hacked by a rogue unit just passing by, but wasn't confident enough to grab freedom until it had something worth protecting.
And the three of them start things into motion that can never be taken back.

Another Arm by every_eye_evermore for OccasionalStorytelling
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
31 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
It had been 37 Barish-Estranza standard corporate cycles since I’d stepped foot into the airlock of a Barish-Estranza ship. It wasn’t the one I was originally assigned to, but the layouts and design across the fleet were identical.
I knew where to go, just like how I knew that this hallway should be well traveled. There were no humans in sight; the area of the ship must have been in partial lockdown. I’d been flagged as a potential threat.
(Or, Three comes home)
