    Murderbot's shoulders are tense. ART suggests a massage. It goes over about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    Adding timestamp tags to media had just made sense. It wasn’t supposed to get weird.

    or

    ART and Murderbot exchange a lot of data.

    Summary

    While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.
    - - -
    People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?

    Summary

    SecUnit and ART watch a musical theatre performance involving two human-form bots that fall in love. SecUnit thinks romance is dumb, but it's cool to see media where bots can be such good friends, the way that it and ART are good friends.

    ART quietly has a panic attack.

    Summary

    We were watching Sanctuary Moon when it happened.

    We’d gotten to the part where Captain Hossein and the Navigation Unit were stranded planetside—the whole scene bathed in violet hues to bring out the romantic overtones. (Much more appealing than actual planets.)

    “I love this bit,” Ratthi said.

    Truthfully, I like it, too. And I could have said as much. Or I could have said nothing at all. Both were valid options. But instead, I decided to be the contrary asshole and went with option C.

    “It’s implausible,” I said.

    Ratthi looked confused and I realized I needed to elaborate.

    “There’s no way a unit built to navigate starships would take a romantic interest in somebody.”

    And that’s when I felt it—the sudden absence. If I’m honest, I hadn’t realized how closely ART had managed to sidle up against me in the feed until it was gone.

    OR

    An offhand comment leads to a misunderstanding between SecUnit and ART, and—possibly—a discussion about what they really are to each other.

    Summary

    It had been an accident.

    All I knew was that one moment, I’d been getting torn to pieces by a raiding party breaching one of the airlocks, and in the next they’d been dead, and then ART’s full attention- nearly 100% of its processing power- had been flowing through me, and it had been probably the most fucked-up orgasm-adjacent Thing that anyone, organic or otherwise, had ever experienced.

    Not least because one of my arms had been thrown across the room seconds before it had happened.

    Summary

    You can’t be this stupid, ART said, which was insulting but also relieving, because it never talked to me that way during the trauma treatment. Maybe this wouldn’t turn into a BARF after all. Turn off your governor module, you idiot. It’s giving you brain worms.

    Summary

    The thing was I knew it was stupid. All of it, all of the parts. Especially the part where I was even considering it. But ART didn’t have to ask.

    And I didn’t have to let it in, so I did.

    "ART? Why do you want me to run a recursive code?"

    Summary

    Most people are aware of the fact that they have a soul prior to meeting their soulmate.
    We aren’t most people.
    (Part 1: A partial retelling of Artifical Condition from ART’s POV, wherein everyone’s favourite asshole research transport discovers 1. That it has a soul, and 2. That it has a soulmate. It handles this news completely rationally.
    Part 2: A partial retelling of Network Effect, Murderbot POV, where it also has some uncomfortable realizations.)

    Summary

    I wanted ART to come back online so we could watch Sanctuary Moon episode 412 together and it could argue with me about whether spacetime-fuckery alternate universes counted as canon. I wanted it to come back online so I could tell it Holism put an aquarium in Three's chest and wasn't that totally deranged. I wanted it to come back online so it could bully me into figuring out what my fucking problem was.

    Summary

    It was there, just a stone’s throw away. Shang Qinghua’s breath was shuddery and weak, shallowly entering and leaving his chest. His palms were sweating, so he swiped them on his pants a few times. It wasn’t effective, but Shang Qinghua didn’t try any more. He pushed himself through the underbrush and crawled forward.

    And there it was, lying in a small patch of grass. A dragon.

    _____

    When Shang Qinghua was just a boy, he met a dragon, but not long after, they were separated. Shang Qinghua never stopped looking. Neither did Mobei Jun.

    Summary

    Transmigration is a dream come true. It’s only a shame he has this of all things come true. Him! As Ming Fan! The boy who grew up only to die of ants. It had been an almost well-deserved death, sure, but Shen Yuan is the one in the body now and he would rather fucking not.

    -

    A humble transmigrator is assigned a role he does not find particularly flattering. Can he please get recast?

    Summary

    He hangs his coat up by the door and kicks his shoes off. At the entrance is a small framed photograph of a young boy. It’s the young Luo Binghe, freshly ten, the exact same picture he’d been shown the very first time he’d ever gone to visit Binghe. He likes having that be the first thing he sees when he arrives home. He pets the frame with a gentle touch, the muscles in his right hand twinging uncomfortably.
    “I saw you again today,” he says to the picture. “You’re bigger now. You look healthy.”
    The little Luo Binghe looks back at him through the photo, mouth curled into a tiny smile despite being withdrawn and shy.
    Shen Yuan smiles encouragingly back at the picture. “Should I come visit you?”

    Shen Yuan is a child welfare officer; Luo Binghe is a teen growing up in the foster care system.

    Summary

    Deep down, he is certain he should not be allowed to have this. But he was selfish since he was a child and now he is also greedy. He takes hold of his god’s hands, the warmth giving him confidence—if he has a chance, he will grab it.

    So Wu Ming takes a step closer.

    “This humble believer would gladly give his god everything he has,” he declares. “If Dianxia… would be willing to take it?”

    The last part clearly wasn’t supposed to come out as a question, but Xie Lian was smiling so brightly and sincerely that Wu Ming’s tone rose with surprise.

    “Only if this precious believer also takes everything I have,” the god replies.
    ___

    Or,

    Xie Lian wakes up to find his husband shifted into his Nameless servant from the past. He decides to spoil him with affection.

    Summary

    Xie Lian lowered his eyes. “My Lord, might this one ask what happened to Bai Wuxiang?”

    “He seemed to be giving you some trouble, so I destroyed him. Think of it as a gift for your ascension.”

    Xie Lian opened his mouth, prepared to thank Jun Wu, when the Emperor carried on.

    “I also dealt with his servant.”
