Snakes on a Planet by Ololon for feurio
Fandoms: Murderbot (TV), The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
Last of a series of mini bonus fics for readers of Trapdoor Function. Set in TV-verse, but very obliquely referencing book events.
Prompt: "Ratthi's "snake planet" bluff was inspired by real premium quality entertainment. I'd love to see him watch it together with MB, Gurathin (and maybe ART)."
Yeah, I might have missed the "premium quality" bit on this prompt.

Daily affirmation by Ololon for Sholio

Summary
Third of a series of mini bonus fics for readers of Trapdoor Function. You don't have to have read that to read this. Set in TV-verse, but very obliquely referencing book events.
Prompt: "MB being protective over Gurathin or vice versa, either works, or both of them being protective of each other. Physical or emotional or whatever, it could be someone treating MB like an object or someone being cruel to Gurathin or a field situation where one of them has to defend the other from danger or gets hurt, anything like that would delight me!"
I went more for the emotional side of things for this fic, since I'd already done MB being protective over an injured Gurathin in the previous one. Hopefully you still like it!

Summary
At the annual reunion on Dr Mensah's farm for the original survey team members of PresAux, Gurathin gets himself into a bit of trouble and is forced to ask Murderbot for help. Note this is definitively TV-verse, though set sometime after the show, so spoilers for that. Unrelated to my previous fics.
Prompt: "Perhaps an injured Gurathin avoiding MedSystem and Murderbot bringing a first aid kit to him instead? Or, if that doesn’t strike your fancy, Gurathin saying something “rude” (i.e. direct) that’s helpful for murderbot to know and it realizing it likes his directness." So I went with your first option, but I have to tell you I did in fact do the opposite and involve a MedSys and not a first aid kit, but hopefully it remains in the spirit of the prompt.

Planet of the fluffy fauna by Ololon for aadarshinah

Summary
This is the first of a few mini bonus stories I promised various people as a reward for guessing one of my favourite lines in my fic Trapdoor Function, posted rather criminally late (but I didn't forget!) These are standalone pieces and you don't need to have read that to read these.
Prompt: Planet of the fluffy fauna. I took you literally at your word.

Trapdoor Function by Ololon
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Murderbot (TV)

Summary
Ratthi persuades Murderbot and Gurathin to go on a survey trip to a planet with the ominous nickname of Spider Planet. Soon, troubles with corporates and the local fauna mean that SecUnit is earning its currency cards, but nothing SecUnit can't handle - until it can't.
"I’d like to say that at least things couldn’t get any worse, but whenever someone says that in the media things inevitably do get worse and that seems to be one of the things media actually gets right. Oh right. I just remembered how this gets worse: the only person who could help me was Gurathin."

Plus One by Sholio for scioscribe
Fandoms: Murderbot (TV), The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
10 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
I had a limited number of my humans to choose from for this. The only ones of my humans available in this particular instance were Mensah, Arada, and Gurathin. Of the options, I selected the one who would never, ever want to talk to me about it later.
I enabled my "act like a human" code in full as I descended on Gurathin. The only warning I gave him was an abrupt Look natural in our private feed before I -- ugh -- put my arm very suddenly around his shoulders.

Summary
“How high is your regard for me, Watson?” He asked abruptly, his eyes still trained on the fire. “If I were to confess my darkest secret would you leave? Would you abandon me here to my melancholy?”
A case forces Holmes to reveal the truth to Watson and risks both their reputations and their liberty. Just how understanding is John Watson?

The Best And Wisest Adaptation I Have Ever Known: The Granada Holmes Rewatch by PlaidAdder
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle, Granada Holmes - Fandom, Sherlock Holmes (1984 TV)

Summary
This is a complete collection of episode reviews for the Sherlock Holmes series filmed and broadcast between 1984 and 1995 by Granada Television (now ITV Granada) starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Burke & Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. I re/watched the whole series in the summer of 2017, because the entire world was on fire and I needed a diversion. I have been reading Holmes and Watson as a couple for at least 30 years now, so that perspective informs all of these reviews. There are occasional comparisons to what happened with Sherlock. Also, I usually discuss the canon story on which any given episode was based. As with all the other rewatches posted here, I am critical, but always from a place of love.
All of these reviews were first posted to tumblr and will be cross-posted more or less intact. There may have to be slight adjustments made depending on whether AO3 treats the GIFs properly. Enjoy them again, or for the first time!

The Care & Keeping of Augmented Humans by writingmonsters
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Murderbot (TV)
19 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
From what I understand, the human brain is basically an electrical meatball. A very sophisticated meatball, to be sure, but still – organic.
That organic human neural tissue – unless very carefully cultivated under very specific laboratory parameters – doesn’t always play nicely with the non-organic bits. And even then, see example: me.
That wasn’t even including the fact that Gurathin had received his augments in the Corporation Rim and company equipment – see again: me – wasn’t exactly premium quality.
UPDATE 10/20/25: minor edits to chapter two
