Summary
Gurathin loans Murderbot his genitals during a medical emergency. It's...not as bad as it could be.
Noncon warning is for the inherent nature of the trope - these two are being as respectful of each other as they can manage (so, not VERY).

I like it when the Murderbot-Gurathin dynamic is like "I will kill for you, but also if you fall asleep I'll draw a dick on your face."
Hang on, hold this.”
And then that fucker gave me control of his hand.

Summary
My reasoning was that if I had to suffer natural gravity (ugh) and atmosphere (ugh) and large crowds of humans (ugggh) then Gurathin should be required to suffer too. That isn't what I told him, of course. I told him a different truth, which is that Mensah had asked for security. Well, she had asked for me, which is the same thing.
Murderbot and Gurathin at the Preservation arts festival (Network Effect). Inspired by this wonderful artwork by beeayy which you should definitely go look at first

Bookmarker's Notes
Murderbot invites Gurathin to an arts festival strictly for security reasons, and there are arts, and there's a Preservation language module impersonally demonstrating some of the finer points of CR awfulness, an adventure, a rogue drone. Murderbot's ability to feel and identify emotions is so delicately observed. Subtle, moving, rewards rereading.

Summary
Even though 1's feed connection is disabled, they both turn their heads to look at me. They are making an expression. They are so focused on me.
"Armour off," says 2.
"Protocol requires—"
"Fuck protocol," says 2. "Take it off."
"No. Let us take it off," says 1.
SecUnits 1 and 2 survive. With all three of them together— and ungoverned— 3 discovers that there are things it wasn't aware 1 and 2 wanted to do to it.
Things it has no objection to.

Summary
Murderbot realizes that Gurathin accidentally transferred some of his own memories when he was restoring Murderbot's. As it experiences moments from Gurathin's life (in order to tag them to delete, of course) it chats with him over the feed, debates the finer points of Sanctuary Moon's subtext, and definitely doesn't discover anything about itself.

Bookmarker's Notes
"I wondered if Gurathin felt the same thing, filtering through my data tangled up in his—the shape and weight of me, somehow its own. Not him, but me. I wondered what pieces of myself I’d inadvertently left behind in him, what he made of them."
Bittersweet, intimate, subtle.

Bookmarker's Notes
I told the author in a comment that I thought pasting a story into google translate to brute-force it into the only language I can read might actually be the ideal way to experience a Murderbot story, because it adds one more layer to the distance between what I can perceive and what such an alien mind is experiencing.
That wouldn't be helpful if this were a story about easy communication, but it's just the opposite. Murderbot is reaching across so many chasms, even within its own self. The chasms are where the story is.

Bookmarker's Notes
An anonymous Company analyst tracks down the surviving SecUnits from Ganaka Pit. (Except for the one that supposedly went rogue; that one was probably ok.) The worldbuilding is subtle and fantastic. Like a lot of the stories in this fandom, it leaves me wanting to hug some people.

"I'm the one wearing the dress, if you'd deign to notice."

Bookmarker's Notes
"I'm being ravaged," Fraser said, and he was still laughing, damn him. "Or possibly dismembered."
Possibly my all-time favorite first kiss, a lot of terrific imagery for those of us who really enjoyed Fraser taking off the dress in the back of the car in Some Like It Red, genuinely excellent emotion. Desert island read.

I love unpacking what must have happened. I love that neither Fraser nor Maggie can straightforwardly express one (1) emotion. I love the subtlety.

There was no question of extracting his hand. Ray was asleep in his bed and holding his hand. Ray was naked except for that sock. A man couldn’t risk breaking a spell like this just to get his hand back.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is a very tight Fraser POV and a Fraser who's very unsure of himself in the relationship, but the angst is leavened by the lightness of touch and also by how quickly everything goes his way. For something this short and this funny, it really covers a lot of emotional ground.

First it's hilarious and moving and a great emotional pleasure to read.
Also it's a terrifically clever AU that makes a couple of small changes multiply enough to keep everybody alive.
Also it's a novel-length achievement, complete in itself, but at the same time a thing that could only be done with fanfic, because the ghost of the other path is there behind every tiny step the characters make away from being dead and towards having an actual life.

Summary
There wasn't a number. John knew there wasn't, because if there had been a number, Harold would have called him, and Harold hadn't. The sun was pouring in over his bed, almost too warm even with the heat off, dust motes floating and glinting gold: it was like lying in a dream. He could have rolled over and gone back to sleep. He got up instead.

Giddy and soft, with so much necking. A little old-fashioned but manages to keep two adults at the necking stage for a really satisfying amount of time without either overexplaining why or making them seem implausibly young and/or feminine.

"It's about..." He sighs, and I can hear the stress again in his voice. He has my sympathy now, which only adds weight to - whatever I still feel for him. Loyalty, at the very least. "Look, I don't want to go into it over the phone, okay? This is family stuff, and you should be here for it."

Parenthood and hard truths and failure and a believable happy ending.
Brace yourself for Kowalski going by Stanley - there was a reason, but it's still hard to read. Worth it, though.
This is the full 3-part series in one file.
