Summary
I had been incredibly skeptical when Ratthi had sent me ‘Midnight Eclipse.’ I knew what fanfiction was, I had seen it in the more niche entertainment feeds before. Never specifically for Sanctuary Moon, but I'd assumed it existed. That didn't mean I had any actual interest in it, though. When I had first looked at them, I hadn't liked them. The quality varied too much and a lot of them weren't finished, or were really short, or really out of character. And I hated that. I really really hated that.
This one was different.

1.0 can be challenging to work with, but when it comes to genuine security concerns it is not usually so uncooperative.

“Please,” it begged, “I don't want to die.”
“I know,” I said.
I hit it for the last time.

Summary
Murderbot is a Security Unit. Not a sexbot.
A seemingly innocent interaction in the hopper reminds it of a client who didn’t care about that distinction, and it becomes a whole thing.

Summary
(I had a bit of a moment there, but I think I deserved it. The governor module, as ever, disagreed and its warning zap had me reviewing the last few seconds of video to formulate a reply before the pain set in.)
“This unit has never been designated ‘Rin’ in the past, but will now answer to that as per client request.”

Tags
Summary
In an effort to improve security training for its humans, Murderbot decides that controlled memory wipes are the only way to give the authentic 'chased by a dangerous SecUnit' experience. It really wishes its humans would stop complaining about the idea. It knows what it's doing, alright? This isn't a serial ruled by dramatic irony. Nothing's going to go wrong.
(Something, inevitably, goes wrong.)

Five Times ART Gives Me a Present and One Time It Gives Me a Breakdown by OccasionalStorytelling
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
29 Jul 2021
Tags
Summary
ART is REALLY good at giving its crew presents that improve their well-being. It is less good at doing this for its SecUnit, but Murderbot isn't going to say anything about that. Up until the "huh, my mutual administrative assistant is trying to turn me back into a company SecUnit" anxiety gets to be too much to handle, that is.

Summary
“I don't remember what I did,” I said, rallying enough to try and sound annoyed, despite the fact I was completely shaken. “So can I go back to my bunk and let you yell at me when I know what you're yelling at me about?”
If you try to leave this room before we have had this discussion, ART said, its voice barely able to stay even, Three will shoot you. Nonlethally. But it will shoot you.
I paused for three whole seconds.
“Okay,” I said.

Summary
It's not unusual for supervisors on contracts to decide that watching their SecUnits fight is more fun than watching media. It's just that sometimes, that's a lot worse than other times. Like when the SecUnit you're fighting is from the same gene batch as you.

Finding Your Way In an Unfriendly Universe by IHopedTheredBeStars
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
15 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
I find the character of SecUnit 03, a.k.a. Three, intriguing from a storytelling perspective. It is ‘tabula rasa’ in ways that Murderbot is not and cannot be. This takes place during the little-described period of waiting at the end of Network Effect, and will almost certainly be non-canon after System Collapse comes out.
Heed the tags. Three will find its way in the end (because that is how I roll), but it has not escaped the Corporation Rim unscathed. There will be pain, fear, self-doubt, depression, and one very bad decision as Three stumbles its way out of the past.
