    Summary

    An alternate take on the end of Rogue Protocol in which SecUnit has just enough time to give the core cutter to Miki before the combat bot breaches the hatch of the shuttle.

    This small change has a big impact, so now Murderbot has a friend with a core cutter to help during the dock fight from Exit Strategy.

    Summary

    A lot of my TMBD fanfiction links together and here I have put them together in a mostly chronological recommended reading list. Most of this is canon-compliant Gen until you get to the Murderathin (MB/Gurathin) stories near the end, after Skulk. That's also where you'll find the only bits out of chronological order, with a couple stories from Gurathin's youth that inform the growing relationship between them.

    Summary

    The way Neal says it, though, amused and dismissive, is almost insulting. Of course Peter would never do such a thing, Neal's tone implies. Absurd notion.
