Summary
I woke up in a cubicle.
This was normal, I knew.
I couldn't remember the last time I had been in one, or the first time, or any of the times in between. This, I suspected, was deeply ab-fucking-normal. My head was aching. The organic parts of me felt like they had been scraped over with wire wool. I couldn't remember anything.

I admit I was distracted when the bottom of the crater where Volescu and Bharadwaj were working exploded. To be fair, I don’t think any of us expected a fully fledged dragon to pop out of the ground and take a bite out of one of the humans.
Exploring a Fantasy AU for Muderbot for the events at the start of Book One: All Systems Red.
Created for the Murderbot Reverse Big Bang and including a story, two pieces of art, and a podfic!

Summary
Someone is screaming.
The sound is coming from near my head, and it's cutting through me like a mining drill, jagged and sharp and hurtful. It rises and falls in peaks, louder, quieter when the oxygen starts to run out. Sobbing, broken sounds, a body in terrible distress.
Or SecUnit and Gurathin share a moment. Episode tag for episode nine, All Systems Red.

Summary
Preservation tradition is to lodge a sedoretu in one bedroom, with four separate beds pushed together as custom and arrangements allow. In a larger house, perhaps two bedrooms with two beds in each. But mostly, they mimic the Pressy in their layouts, pushing mattresses together to sleep in twos or separately. Their privacy, now that the Pressy has landed and her people are not bound to small cabins, is the four small rooms attached to the bedroom, in which no others come without invitation.
Or, the unusual ways Drs. Arada and Ratthi, of the Morning moiety, and Overse and Solicitor Pin-Lee, of the Evening moiety, manage their relationship(s).

Summary
I was sort of still there, but I could tell I was hovering on the edge of a systems failure. I had flashes off and on. The inside of the little hopper, my humans talking, Arada holding my hand.
