Summary
"I had another memory glitch, didn't I."
...Yes.
ART was reluctant. It got even more reluctant when I asked it to show me the false memory. Given the subject matter of the scene that initiated your shutdown, I am concerned that showing you would only cause it to re-occur. Eventually I persuaded it to tell me instead of showing me. Apparently it had been a corrupted version of the same clip, but instead of the show characters I had [REDACTED]
Yeah. Yeah, I know. Just give me a fucking minute.

Summary
ART knows that it can never reveal its intense, bewildering desire for SecUnit. So it generates a virtual playground where it can satiate its disturbing needs. And it creates a simulated copy of SecUnit to be its plaything.

Four times having a governor module fucking sucked, plus one time [REDACTED: FILE MISSING].

Summary
What if GrayCris had visited PresAux first instead of DeltFall?
At this point, Bharadwaj and Volescu have encountered the worm, the group discovered and visited the missing map sections, and an attempted download was made to control SecUnit. However, that's it. Murderbot is still masquerading as governed. PresAux never lost contact with DeltFall because GrayCris visited PresAux first.
No relation to my other TMBD works.

Summary
I was barely sobered up when Gurathin reached out over to feed to explain what had happened.
It doesn't have the fat, muscle, organs, or blood volume to handle something like this. It only has neural tissue, blood, and a few glands. What's a normal dose to you, Ratthi, is one hundred doses for it. On top of that, it doesn't have the filtration we do to quickly clear out or decompose a novel organic compound like this on its own.
My gut felt like it fell through the floor. None of this was supposed to happen. SecUnit had been there to keep me safe and I'd endangered it. What can we do for it? Can't the medical center do something?
They might if it would go to the medical center, but that's not happening. There was enough in his tone to let me know they'd attempted that and failed. Right now it's trapped itself in a corner of the mall. I need to get it out of there before it gets upset. I'm going to see if I can get it back to my quarters. Security has cordoned off the area for now, but if it's still out here when the morning rush comes, we might have a very serious problem on our hands.
Oh no.

Gentle Into That Good Night by Gamebird
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Murderbot (TV)
25 Oct 2025

Summary
This story is best understood if you have read Desire, Technically, where it would fit into the middle of chapter 19. It tells what happened as Gurathin goes through lethal withdrawal from the addictive drugs the company gave him to ensure his loyalty as a spy.
For those who have not read Desire, Technically, know that in this AU, Gurathin was a company technician who specialized in repair of constructs who had problems the cubicle couldn't fix. These were primarily mental issues, which is how he got Murderbot, who was not nearly as good at being an undetected rogue as it imagined.
Gurathin freed it but was captured in the process, tortured, and turned into a semi-expendable spy. Murderbot escaped, had Artificial Condition adventures with ART, then returned to find and free Gurathin. It found him, but he was addicted. They made a bargain with Preservation for them to do their best to help him survive the withdrawal.
And here we are.

Summary
It had been 46 corporate standard cycles since the first time ART had performed what we had been calling routine maintenance on me, and I was no closer to being ready to acknowledge the schedule proposal or the hundreds of articles, surveys, and heavily-redacted sexual education modules it kept sending me.
I was starting to get a headache about all of it. It was annoying. And it was even more annoying because it was all my damn fault.

Murderbot and ART finally negotiate their 'routine maintenance' schedule.

I can’t believe you’ve talked me into this, ART-Drone grumbled darkly as it located my wiring harness and the blackened, melted wires which had fried from the projectiles piercing my systems. If this hurts, you know who to blame.
Then it yanked roughly at the wire connecting my left leg, and I saw stars.

Summary
“But I want you to know this stuff,” SecUnit said, frustrated. It dragged a hand through its hair, a new gesture it was experimenting with, and then frowned when its fingers caught on a tangle. “I’m just—you know what I’m like. I’m never going to say it.”
I don’t mind if you never do, I said.
“Well, I do,” it said, irritation and a hint of shame seeping into the feed. “I want you to hear it. I… I want to tell you. I just—can’t.”

Summary
“ART,” I managed, voice pitched up just a little. “What are you doing?”
Part of the touch on my chest slid up to cup my jaw. It was— warm. Gentle? It was weird and unexpected and I scooted away until my lower back hit the couch’s armrest, which obviously did nothing. `My beautiful SecUnit,' ART said, and my breath hitched oddly. It’s the malware, Murderbot, it’s the fucking malware. Keep it together. 'You still haven’t realized what’s happening? You still don’t understand what I’m going to do to you?'
