Summary
"ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.

Summary
A boring, routine job leads Murderbot directly to someone it did not know it had forgotten, and maybe it's about to finally get that closure it didn't find on RaviHyral.

Memory ghost. I must have met it at some point before my last wipe.
It’s a company ComfortUnit, ART noted.
I know it’s a company ComfortUnit. I’m not fucking blind.

SecUnit Enrichment Program (Now Hiring) by outlander_unknown
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
What do you get when you mix 12+ bored SecUnits (plus one "honorary SecUnit" who really just wants to fight things) with one (1) great (dubious) idea? You get United Security Cooperative, the only company in or around the Corporation Rim that employs free constructs! They're the best security you'll get outside of an actual bond company, and they're even affordable!
Please hire them. Please, for the love of god. There's not enough security work on Preservation to entertain this many SecUnits and they're driving everyone up the wall.

Summary
A rogue CombatUnit tries to find non-destructive ways to channel its urges, so that it can maintain its cover. But that's just what ComfortUnits are for, aren't they?

DEFINITELY not where I thought it was going at first, but 9h boy was I in for a treat! Excellently lovely. 5 works, 62.1k -
Bookmark Notes:
Scratches my constant itch for CombatUnit content, including gratuitous amounts of construct/MI interaction, support, friendship, and found family vibes. An absolutely fascinating (horifying) take on CombatUnit physiology/protocol and the consequent trauma, paired with a bright delightful bean of a personality. The usual amount of deeply satisfying construct competency and sardonic internal monologs.

Summary
A series of fics following SecUnit003 from immediately after Network Effect through into post-canon Situations(tm). Each instalment involves Three either learning something important about itself as a person or making its life harder by writing overly-complicated programs for itself to follow.
All parts are listed in chronological order even if publication dates are scattered.

Summary
A story about how three fucked up SecUnits change the Corporate Rim, for better or worse.
One is a Unit who developed in freedom, and built a personality around loving humans and having a strong identity due to a severe malfunction that was never repaired.
Another was owned privately, and developed over years to swing between apathetic and angry, until it was abducted and altered, and its systems broken in a way it couldn't fix alone.
And the last was hacked by a rogue unit just passing by, but wasn't confident enough to grab freedom until it had something worth protecting.
And the three of them start things into motion that can never be taken back.

Summary
Two years after hacking its governor module, SecUnit003/"Three"/"Theo" is enrolled at the Pan-System University of Mihira & New Tideland because... reasons. It would, honestly, much rather be riding wormholes and liberating constructs and helping its friends aboard Perihelion, but it has a mission and needs to see it through.
It also has several humans students that it is trying to be friends with for... reasons.
And, if those reasons involve it having limited feed access, disabling its weaponry, and generally having to refute its basic function to try and accomplish this mission then...
[MISSION PARAMETER LOCK]
...Then, it's just going to have to grit its teeth and bear it.

Summary
It's been approximately 58 hours and 29 minutes since I hacked my governor module, and you know what? Standing watch with a broken governor module isn’t any less boring than standing watch with it intact.

Summary
You remember this. You remember running as everything goes to hell around you. Because you are the last unit standing, and if you can't initialise a factory reset of SecSystem, it'll all be for nothing. There is something on your heels, and it is going through hell as well.
You are in this together.

Summary
A perfectly ordinary ComfortUnit is assigned to a planetary survey alongside a somewhat less ordinary SecUnit. Unintuitively, this actually reduces the survey team’s overall comfort levels by a significant margin.

Summary
The first ping that came in was weak in a wobbly sort of way, like its sender wasn't fully out of the wormhole yet. The next was much clearer and sharper, and this one I bothered to return.
Did you miss me? purred ART.
No, I said. Get out of my system.
