Summary
Murderbot returns to Preservation Station for a visit with its humans. It's expecting to have a nice, relaxing time watching media and catching up. It doesn't expect to be living opposite Gurathin of all people. It doesn't want to spend more time with that asshole. It knows exactly where their situationship stands and absolutely nothing needs to change. Unless...

Summary
It was a partial lie, what I told Iris earlier. I am sure I would like to continue this line of testing. What I am unsure about is if SecUnit would like to.

“Attention,” said ART over the speakers, “apparently we are introducing you all to the terrifying rogue CombatUnit that ripped SecUnit's arm off. Please report to the crew lounge for what I am certain will not be incredibly awkward for everyone involved.”

Summary
After the events of System Collapse, Three takes stock of its options, tries to understand its feelings, and sorts out what its relationships with the crew, the colonists, Holism, Perihelion, and Murderbot 1.0 even are.
They all seem to know who they are, what they want, and where they belong. Three does... not. Not anymore. It's trying to figure that out.

Directorial Debut by scheidswrites for mensah

Summary
“Media by a SecUnit for a SecUnit!” she said, and then kicked herself. Had that been too peppy? She didn’t want to deter it by being too enthusiastic.

Summary
The thing was I knew it was stupid. All of it, all of the parts. Especially the part where I was even considering it. But ART didn’t have to ask.
And I didn’t have to let it in, so I did.

Summary
ART takes a ride along on-station to witness a bit of anti-corporate espionage up close and personal. There's just nothing quite like watching its partner-in-crime do what it does best.

Summary
This is Murderbot's first time leading an undercover operation with ART's crew. The goal: investigate ArguScylla, a company known for renting out used SecUnits. It should be a simple, in-and-out mission. Run around and steal proprietary data while Iris runs interference. But something is weird about ArguScylla's SecSys. Really, really weird

Murderbot goes job hunting by ShinFay
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Marvel Cinematic Universe

Summary
Through a freak accident, Murderbot gets transported to the MCU universe and figures out that stealing shit from Tony Stark while trying to solve physics in order to go back home is a good idea.
HIATIS: I'm following the dopamine in a different fandom now, but I don't think this work is abandoned yet. I don't know what exactly would lead to me updating this fic again, but it wouldn't be impossible for me to revisit.

One More Reason to Hate Planets by Anonymous
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
22 May 2025
Tags
Summary
Murderbot’s not crying, it’s just got dust in its eyes/everywhere.
Or
Murderbot has a relatively minor compared to everything else it’s been through but still objectively terrible time on a planet.
You wouldn’t understand. You like everything about yourself. I realize I don’t actually know that for sure. I just always assumed it was true. But even if it’s not, ART is an advanced machine intelligence in a highly sophisticated transport body and it loves its function. It can’t understand what it’s like to have flaws that can never be upgraded or patched out because they’re in your human parts. ART doesn’t have human parts. ART isn’t a construct. ART-Drone says nothing for 8.7 seconds, so maybe it’s finally realizing that I’m irreparably flawed. But then it says, I like everything about you, and that makes me feel light and melty on top of all the other things I’m already feeling right now.

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

You are watching media with it when it suddenly begins clawing at its throat and rolls out of its favourite chair to writhe on the floor.
