Summary
Anyway, there isn’t a therapist on Erid who could work on me without a seminar. And even after a curriculum, a thesis, and a defense, it’d still be impossible to explain why I feel so goshdarn weird about the wheelchair.

Summary
After the war, Harry and Ron move in together, convinced they’re simply rebuilding a shared life. But a pub spell that reveals the color of one’s truest love sets something off between them, something Harry tries to laugh off and Ron tries not to look at too closely.
What begins as a joke ignites a long, slow unravelling of trauma, of longing, of a love both men have confused for loyalty for far too long. -

Summary
The coffee machine was fucking haunted. Or something. I wasn’t sure what else it could’ve been—I didn’t even really believe haunting was possible, but what the fuck did I know? Maybe those supernatural serials were more true than I thought.
I made the rational choice and unplugged the machine.

The little shit unplugged your coffee machine.
Coffee shop au that is 90% jokes and 10% lore.

Summary
"Let me rephrase," ART croons. "Why do your internal systems list the expected length of a full recharge cycle to be four hours and recommend weekly adherence? Specifically I'm wondering why this would be the case when I've only ever observed you recharging an average of three hours every two weeks."
Oh. This is a caretaking thing.

Summary
SecUnit and Perihelion have been having a very long, very public, and very annoying fight about a new serial for the past two weeks. Peri’s crew is considering spacing themselves to see the end of it. Neither SecUnit nor Perihelion have seen this serial. Neither of them will admit it.

Summary
There is an unidentified creature aboard. To someone that didn’t know it, ART would have sounded completely normal.
I shoved my head back into my shirt, which was halfway off, and my feet back into my work boots, which were all the way off. I had been shot at a little bit, so some of the fabric was crispy in a way that rubbed against my organic parts uncomfortably. what the fuck do you mean, unidentified creature?
I mean a creature that’s unidentified. The “obviously, you idiot.” was silent, but somehow also very loud.

Summary
I don’t ‘seem’ like anything. You still haven’t told me what - this is. My words catch when I complete another calculation and feel my face twitch. I also happen to let out a low hum.
Is it important? ART presses down on me, slotting another system into my processes and by extension a little more of itself into my inputs. This time, it’s working itself into my prioritization and optimization systems. My mind goes pleasantly fuzzy, and my consciousness throttles itself down to the point of ART in me. My mind stutters, and I stop mid-sentence. It feels nice, doesn’t it?
I pointedly don't answer it. I won't give the smug jackass that satisfaction.

I want you to know Iris better, ART said stubbornly. Besides your own crew, you haven’t met any humans who treat bots with kindness and respect.
“I have too,” I spat back, and then flinched. I hadn’t meant to say that.

Murderbot Goes To SpaceFuture!Vegas and Hates It by Anonymous
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
Look, it's not exactly easy to steal a shitton of money from a casino corporation.
They're paranoid as fuck, for starters, almost as paranoid as the company. As a general rule, you don't get nearly that rich by being anything short of obsessively protective of your ill-gotten gains. You're in the business of giving out hard currency to winners; you'd better be fucking sure that no one's hacking anything in your systems. Also, obviously, you have to have a plan for the thousands of rival corporations hoping for/plotting your downfall.
Basically, what I'm saying is that ART's idea of a relaxing vacation for its very first shore leave (yes, it had been a whole thing. For some reason Tarik had started it, and Pin-Lee and Mensah had gotten involved) was inadvisable from the start.

'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.

Turnaround Time (TAT)
[noun]
The total duration from the making of a request to its completion and delivery.—
Or,
Finally, with palpable resignation, ART asked, 'What do you need, Secunit?'
I pushed myself off of the wall and walked to the nearest medical table. Slowly and deliberately, as though the beat of my central circulatory pumps wasn’t pounding in my ears, I turned around and leaned back onto my hands. The small of my back came to rest against the edge of the platform. When I tilted my head all the way back and found the lens of ART’s camera, my mouth split into a smile that I hadn’t planned.
I said, “You.”

Summary
Five times SecUnit's humans saw that it loved ART and one time Iris saw it too.
---
Or,
It is common knowledge that Perihelion is an obsessive psychopath when it comes to being right, and that it is similarly obsessive over producing high-quality empirical evidence to vindicate itself (whether anyone else even cares that much or not).
It is not common knowledge that its sister has, unfortunately, also picked up this habit.
So when SecUnit disagrees with Iris over something and watches her turn around and leave without argument, it has no idea what is coming.
Well, kind of.

Summary
“Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”
“You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.
“Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”
That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.
Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.
(OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

Summary
“What made you come up with this?” Grace asks. His voice is thick.
“Grace need comfort,” Rocky says matter-of-factly. “Like a hug. This comfort Grace, question?”
Grace presses his hand more firmly against the top of Rocky’s carapace, and Rocky shifts a bit within the xenonite, rising so that they make nearly direct contact through the panel. It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once.
“Yeah,” Grace breathes.
~~~
On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.

Summary
Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.
Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.
Grace, though…
Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.
