Summary
AU in which Murderbot was a prototype in a research project. It experiences a childhood with Iris and ART before being sold to the company. When they are reunited, Murderbot doesn't remember them.
Many, many spoilers for the books.
I'm not a normal SecUnit. I'm even less normal than I realized, because it turns out I was a prototype. And I did have a childhood. I was actually small at one point.
Weird, right? I'm still processing it.

minimal functionality protocol by glitterary
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
25 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
At 20% functionality, I am capable of carrying out almost all the duties that I am officially able to perform as a university starship. However, my autonomy is severely constrained: I can run calculations and provide information, but any course corrections or similar adjustments need to be approved by my human crew. I lose the ability to communicate on the feed beyond delivering standardised reports. And I can’t even dedicate any parts of myself to my personal research interests or watching media.
It’s a lot like being trapped in a dark, empty box.
Six months after the events of System Collapse, ART is ordered to confine itself to a run box for a training exercise. Nobody is happy about this, least of all SecUnit.

[podfic] Classes NULL: Hot Bot Summer by MercurialPodfics (MercurialFeet) for molecular_machine
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
25 Jun 2025

Summary
All fluff all the time. We are chilling. We are consuming media. We are reading our government assigned space-FBI-agent's classified correspondences like the morning newspaper. We are going on a journey of self-discovery. We are wearing various clothes. We are having an emotion. We are chaperoning some kids on a gross planet.

A Very Special Episode of Sanctuary Moon by greatdistractions
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
24 Jun 2025
Tags

After Bharadwaj's documentary comes out, SecUnit is invited to tour the set of Sanctuary Moon. It brings Ratthi and one of Perihelion's drones for moral support.
Moral support it's going to need once someone on set dies mysteriously.

Summary
I had been incredibly skeptical when Ratthi had sent me ‘Midnight Eclipse.’ I knew what fanfiction was, I had seen it in the more niche entertainment feeds before. Never specifically for Sanctuary Moon, but I'd assumed it existed. That didn't mean I had any actual interest in it, though. When I had first looked at them, I hadn't liked them. The quality varied too much and a lot of them weren't finished, or were really short, or really out of character. And I hated that. I really really hated that.
This one was different.

Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.
---
Ratthi goes missing. Pin-Lee isn't used to losing. Murderbot isn't used to having anything to lose.

Statements NULL: Fall Out Bot by FlipSpring
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
23 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
It was only now that I’ve started to look back at some of my logs from… let’s call it when the Shit Hit The Fan. It’s pretty painful to look back on the logs of that clusterfuck, because 1. I'd been a gigantic asshole and 2. I'd had a very public physical and emotional meltdown.
I said, trying to sound lighthearted and not really succeeding, “I’d like medical clearance to go join the ground team?”

Agenda:
1. Rogue machine intelligence coalition building
2. Avoid alien remnant (re)infection
3. Endure some excruciating conversations*
Silly tags to spare the wrangler:

Summary
Three is going on a mission that it doesn't disclose for client confidentiality.
But somehow it involves it having to blend in among rough workers.
It asks Murderbot to teach it to swear. Murderbot suggests even better experts. -

Summary
While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.

People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board? -

Summary
A collection of (very) short stories based on prompts from the New Tideland Discord. As a result they all have different genres and characters! There are pairing and trigger warnings on each story since these are self contained.
This week's story:
"You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to." pause "Is it the logos? You've mentioned them before. I did think at the time, that you wouldn't have known they were impossible to remove if you hadn't already tried."
After a rough meeting with Bharadwaj, Murderbot tries to remove its logos one more time.
(TW: cutting, angst)

Summary
Kukri kept sending me media about “Robbing the Hood” and telling me to watch it, that I’d understand what was going on better if I did, but I had no interest in watching people rob Hoods, whatever those were. I didn’t like robbing in real life (I did it because I had to not because I wanted to) and I doubted I’d like it in media.
Shortly after hacking its governor module, a rogue SecUnit is involved in an ill-fated space battle and finds itself alone save for the company of a mourning raider ship bot pilot. It would like to spend the rest of its life watching media in what remains of the ship's crew quarters, but it turns out that "the rest of its life" wouldn't be long at all without the money to pay for proper maintenance. There seems to be only one way to get that money.

404: ERROR NOT FOUND (A MurderBot Diaries AU) by vividaway
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Murderbot (TV)
21 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Designation: N.E.X.
Classification: Null Entity - eXcommunicated
Status: Irregular. Unaccounted for. Do not engage.She was never an error. Just unreadable. That's what they said. Error. Corrupted. Misaligned neural net, incomplete behavioral heuristics, failure to comply with baseline interaction protocols, blah blah blah. I've seen actual errors. I've been one, according to their standards.
She wasn't an error. She was something the system didn't know how to read. That's different.
Humans do this thing where if a person doesn't behave the way they expect, it must be broken. Dangerous, even. Because obviously they're the standard.
(Spoiler: they're not.)
(This fanfic is a mix of all 7 TDOMB novellas/novels, and the Apple TV show combined.)

Implausible by mostlybritts
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Murderbot (TV)
21 Jun 2025

Summary
We were watching Sanctuary Moon when it happened.
We’d gotten to the part where Captain Hossein and the Navigation Unit were stranded planetside—the whole scene bathed in violet hues to bring out the romantic overtones. (Much more appealing than actual planets.)
“I love this bit,” Ratthi said.
Truthfully, I like it, too. And I could have said as much. Or I could have said nothing at all. Both were valid options. But instead, I decided to be the contrary asshole and went with option C.
“It’s implausible,” I said.
Ratthi looked confused and I realized I needed to elaborate.
“There’s no way a unit built to navigate starships would take a romantic interest in somebody.”
And that’s when I felt it—the sudden absence. If I’m honest, I hadn’t realized how closely ART had managed to sidle up against me in the feed until it was gone.
OR
An offhand comment leads to a misunderstanding between SecUnit and ART, and—possibly—a discussion about what they really are to eachother.

Summary
When malware takes over SecUnit and it nearly kills three of ART's crew, ART is left with two bad options: keep the governor module on with ART as the Client, or partition off part of itself and stick it in SecUnit's head.

Summary
Murderbot and ART are doing a deep clean of their old databases, and Murderbot comes across a file from PSUMNT that ART really doesn't want it to see.
