Summary
Rogue SecUnit maintenance is untread territory. It is much easier to keep a SecUnit functional when it has access to the infrastructure it was built to use. Without access, you must provide your own infrastructure to it.
“You didn't have to do that. I didn't ask for an update,” it grouses.
You're uncertain what it will take for your SecUnit to realize its need for this infrastructure.
In which ART is just trying to take care of Murderbot, and Murderbot is just trying not to overreact (read: panic, have a flashback, dissociate). And they get mad at each other instead of talking about it. That’s the whole fic.

Summary
on the mechanics of intimacy, the blurred line between healing and pain, and what it means to be a living person despite it all. AKA Murderbot and Three are platonically gay for each other and that's a fact
(all works in this series are unrelated, meaning that they *don't* reference each other and *can* be read in any order. have fun!)

Recovery Trajectory (emotions, yay) by QuintessentialShip

Summary
I had installed the mental health module but hadn’t toggled it on yet. Which is why I was now in my cabin arguing with a bossy machine super-intelligence over how many emotions I might be capable of having.
I had completed a total of one part of one step in the trauma recovery process and didn’t want to continue. Ever since we got the hell out of that system where ART got deleted and I thought it was dead, and I got contaminated and 2.0 sacrificed itself –
SecUnit.
I didn’t really want to revisit all that.
SecUnit, ART said more forcefully. Your stats are dropping.
Right. Get it together, Murderbot. It was probably too late to throw myself out the airlock.

For prompt 175: ART helps SecUnit navigate labeling its emotions for the Emotion Check module.- Language:

Summary
'Actually, this might be a fitting moment to try."
"That is not advisable," Three said quickly.
I agreed. "You really don't want to."
"…Oh," said ART in a tone which told that yep, it'd already done it.SecUnit encounters an undocumented issue and tries to die stupidly about it. ART objects.
