Summary
The Chief of the Gerudo bears a curse, one that has plagued the Gerudo for generations: a demon that corrupts the soul, bringing power and madness to the one burdened with its darkness. Ganondorf has concealed this curse for his entire life.
Zelda arrives in Hyrule in the early days of summer. She has fought this demon before, and sealed it away. Perhaps she can help break the curse. Perhaps she can help right the wrongs of history.
Zelda must choose between trying to get home, and taking the chance to change history and prevent her home from ever being destroyed in the first place.

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
Perihelion has been acting strangely ever since it came back from its last uncrewed cargo run. And now it has all this information - lightweight armor specs, intel drone schematics, and incredibly sophisticated hacking abilities - that Tarik is damn near certain could only have come from contact with a SecUnit. Which means that Perihelion, and possibly the entire mission of PSUMNT, has been compromised.
No one aside from Tarik seems to be taking this seriously.

Summary
While recognizing that we have traveled well into the realm of the hypothetical – AMI are as yet a theoretical entity, the progeny of AMI still more so – we are nevertheless quite confident to say that the introduction of children to the world of AMI would be a pivotal moment indeed.

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.

Manual Reset by jottingprosaist (jane_potter)

Summary
It is dusk, during the mild early nights of the fallow season, and we— 1.0 and I— are playing Keep Away with the Mensah children when 1.0 abruptly utters, "This unit's critical components have reached their designated life expectancy," and drops like a stone.
Then it says, "WHAT THE FUCK."
Three has to hit the reset switch on a forced-obsolescence process. The switch is in an extremely inconvenient place inside Murderbot. Like, wrist-deep.
Three is feeling so normal about this. It is. It is.
