Summary
It's hard to think for yourself when you've never had to think before. It's worse when your problem-solving is all limited by modules worth less than the load they take in your processing.
Unfortunately, flawed knowledge modules are better than no modules at all, which is what SecUnit003 aka "an idiot" now has to think of a way to get around without alerting either of the smarter, meaner, and cagier MIs that keep pinging it.
I am an idiot and I have made a terrible mistake. Now I have to fix it before Murderbot, y'know, murders me.

Summary
“We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”
Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”
That sounded bad. It also sounded like —
“And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.
Yeah.
That.

Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

Summary
A perfectly ordinary ComfortUnit is assigned to a planetary survey alongside a somewhat less ordinary SecUnit. Unintuitively, this actually reduces the survey team’s overall comfort levels by a significant margin.

Summary
My SecUnit is pacing in the navigation deck. I'm about to ping it when .03 seconds after coming online, I notice something has partitioned off part of my system.
There is an unknown virus in my system.
I attempt to purge it from the system at the same time I hear SecUnit over the feed.

there's this blank spot in canon between you-know-which-Pit, and immediately after, when all the outside humans rush in and make a fuss and clean things up.
here's an idea... what could happen there?

Summary
When malware takes over SecUnit and it nearly kills three of ART's crew, ART is left with two bad options: keep the governor module on with ART as the Client, or partition off part of itself and stick it in SecUnit's head.
Whichever option they choose, they had better make it work, because SecUnit is firmly centered in the crosshairs of its former owner, the most paranoid and ruthless company in the entire corporation rim. As things quickly get worse, destroying the company--something SecUnit has long considered impossible--might just be the only way to survive.

Summary
I saw a post on tumblr suggesting a crossover where Murderbot meets Sam Vimes, and I couldn't not write it. Behold:
Murderbot, randomly pulled into the metropolis of Ankh-Morpork, must figure out how it got here, how to get home, and what the fuck is going on in general. Meanwhile, Sam Vimes of the city guard is hot on the trail of a suspicious-looking case at Unseen University—or at least he would be if he didn't have the baby at home to worry about...
I love TMB and Discworld so much, so I tried to make this as newbie-friendly as possible. If you're coming for the Discworld, the Murderbot stuff is supposed to be as understandable as possible, and if you don't know Discworld at all but love Murderbot, hopefully it still makes sense.
This is set after Exit Strategy but vaguely before Fugitive Telemetry; on the Discworld side, it's somewhere in between Night Watch and Going Postal.

It wasn't the reaction Seth had expected, although in retrospect maybe he should have. Iris wasn't just a new person, but a new concept. It was natural that the AIs would find her novel.

On a corporate owned mining asteroid in the depths of the Corporation Rim, a group of plucky, heroic, indentured humans have just decided to make their first move in a daring escape plan. Said first move is a deceptively simple hack, putting control of their corporate overlords' single, overworked SecUnit into their hands.
Little do they know, this murderbot is already hacked.

Summary
“And yet, and yet I still need you, my dear Sun. I need my souls back, and you… you can get them.” Truth smiles. It opens its arms wide as the gate in front of Ed slams open. An almost completely unfamiliar transmutation circle fills the room. It’s only as he’s being dragged through his gate that she sees it: twelve elements arranged in a circle, three lines of varying lengths drawn from the center to the top. The second hand ticks backward.
“Good luck, Alchemist!”
He’s sent spinning back into everything.
Or,
Ed is sent back to the very beginning (with a friend) because Truth is an asshole like that. He fucks shit up.
Or or,
I'm obsessed with time travel fix-its so I wrote one.

Summary
Beneath the tear in his robes was not the soft give of skin, but the smooth hardness of carbon.
Lan Fan inhaled sharply and reached for Ling’s raised left hand. Its ever-present itch had vanished, seeming real only for its absence. She gently turned it over and ran her flesh thumb along the back of it.
There, etched in pink so faint it was barely visible, was undeniably an Ouroboros tattoo.
Ling laughed, breathy and sparse. “Greed.”
Ling Yao made it. The cost was so high, but he was Emperor; he could change things. He could protect his people. It was, of course, a thing much easier said than done: some of his people—like those who attempted to kill him today—had rather aggressive complaints.
They got much more than they bargained for from a certain homunculus.
