    Summary

    "SecUnit has told Senior Indah it is open to further work, but only if the work is really weird. When a research transport from an unfamiliar non-corporate political entity called Trellin arrives at Preservation Station and starts throwing strange errors within seconds of contact, SecUnit is tasked with figuring out what the hell is wrong with that ship. (A lot. A lot is wrong with that ship. One, it’s not ART. Two, it’s kind of an asshole anyway. Three, it has feelings. And morals. And that last one might be the worst.)

    Set post-canon for Time to Orbit: Unknown, between Fugitive Telemetry and Network Effect for The Murderbot Diaries. HEAVY spoilers for TTOU - if you haven't read it and don't want to be spoilered on some very major developments near the end, you should get on the normal spaceship before reading this story. Spoilers for TMBD are lighter - mostly what position SecUnit is in between book 6 and book 5. Lighter sci-fi than TTOU, about TMBD level."

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Steve Rogers is being haunted by the ghost of Bucky Barnes.

    “Folk songs are meant to be changed; that’s how they live, Peggy. Change the genders, change the names, change the tunes, change the meaning -- it’s the act of singing that makes it real, not any particular specifics. That’s what my Ma taught Buck and me, and that’s what I know to be true.”

    Summary

    Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).

    But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

    Summary

    It's a little troubling how familiar this has become, possibly. Kakashi is very aware of what he's doing. Risking. Has risked, past tense, what should probably be an alarming number of times, now. There's a reason he doesn't let any of the other halfway tolerable patrollers accompany him on these paper-thin 'scouting' trips. A reason apart from the way they'd start dropping hints that he's not being safe, being reckless with his life again.

    Ha. Hm. No, after giving it appropriate analysis, mostly he's…curious.

    Call it an on-going experiment.

    Summary

    Laios speaks first. He looks a bit nervous for the first time since this topic took over their meal. “You didn’t kill me when Marcille was Lord of the Dungeon, or when you knew I was going to become that myself, though. You… you said you wanted to be my friend. Why?”

    Summary

    “How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.

    “Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”

    Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”

    “No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”

    “So…what?” asks Izutsumi.

    “Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”

    “You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”

    Laios smiles.

    “You know what?” Wei Ying said. “I think we should be friends.”

    “Vulcans do not have friends,” said Lan Zhan. He was staring very determinedly at the screen in front of him.

    Wei Ying frowned at him. “That can’t be right.”

    Summary

    Song Lan’s shadow finds him on the fourth floor of the art museum, in the airy galleries filled with turn-of-the-century art where he’s taken his boyfriend Xue Yang to see the works of his favorite painter but finds himself staring at his suppressed desires straight in the eye instead.

    There was a box on the top shelf of your wardrobe. It contained a set of leather restraints, a ball gag, a flogger, a pair of black leather gloves, and other toys you’d used with other men before meeting Xue Yang. You imagined the restraints around Xue Yang’s wrists now, the leather gloves on your own hands. Your fingers prying his mouth open.

    Summary

    Being responsible for the security of two separate groups of humans is hard enough when SecUnit knows and likes the ships they are travelling on. But once its humans arrive at the incredibly normal space station in orbit of Trellin, SecUnit finds their potential new allies to be much more difficult to deal with than most hostiles. To do its job, it must navigate local privacy customs, dead and/or naked humans, experimental biomes full of planetary fauna and, worst of all, the helpful local HubSystem, which happens to be a) very friendly, b) totally useless at security, c) really fucking creepy. Can SecUnit keep its humans safe and not be driven absolutely beeshit by argumentative social scientists, HubSystem or human, along the way? It’s about to find out.

    Direct continuation of The Worst Movie Night. Story is complete and edited, posting Wed/Fri/Sun.
