Fey Being Very Normal About the Feed by FascinatedFinch, ramshackle_fey
Fandom: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
19 Nov 2025
Summary
All of my fic where I'm talking about the feed and the experiences of constructs, bots, and humans interacting with it. They're ordered by where they fall relative to canon events, but you don't have to read them in any particular order at all. "Security Squabbles" is in here because as much as Squab started as total crack, they also really push the boundaries of what communicating and living in the feed would be like.

Summary
Murderbot and ART thought they knew most of what there was to know about the feed.
They did not.
Now they're in a parallel world with several of their humans, trying to find their way home through a world where code and magic are the same thing. But in order to do that, they have to break down the barrier that's been keeping this world, and its magic, out of their reality for the last thousand years.
As if all that weren't annoying enough, Murderbot is a dragon, ART's a shapeshifting blob, and their guide through fairyland is about the last person anyone would have expected.

Hold the Skies Together by FascinatedFinch, ramshackle_fey
Fandom: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
17 Sep 2025
Summary
As SBtS started growing out of control and spawning sequels, it also started poking roots into my other writing.
All the fic in here are canon within SBtS, and I have more stuff planned to come out both concurrent with and before the events of SBtS.
The shorts are individually sorted by when they occur, but they're all tacked on at the end of the series. When I drop any that are concurrent with SBtS, or when one of the pre-SBtS events is directly brought up, there'll be a link to it in the chapter notes where it fits.
The shorts also all work as standalones without any other knowledge of the series. Though, especially if you're the kind of reader who likes combing for clues about future plot events, you might figure one or two things out early.
We've also added a work here just for all of Finch's gorgeous illustrations, so you can look through those by chapter, and see her character design sheets and concept sketches!
