Murderbot fic recs

I've been going down a real rabbit hole with Murderbot fan fiction recently and wanted to share some of my favorites. Here they are, loosely organized by primary relationship:

MB and its humans

Tells by Polyhexian

“It’s reading a book right now, I don't want to bother it,” Ratthi dismissed. “I'm what?” burst SecUnit.

(Third) Dorm Mom by BoldlyNo

"The one drawback to listing Secunit as one of the emergency contacts on her PSUMNT admissions paperwork is the possibility that someone might actually contact it for an emergency someday."  Amena's—and Secunit's—collegiate careers in twelve snippets.

Child Instance by IDisNull

Set between Fugitive Telemetry and Network Effect, Murderbot inadvertently finds itself responsible for the welfare of a house full of children.

MB and ART

Sensory Data by polyhexian

I asked, What are you feeling so good about? I was expecting it to suddenly be aware that it wasn’t being snarky, and start being snarky. Instead, it just said, That feels nice.

Digital Storage and File Sharing by RJam9

WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL SANCTUARY MOON DISCUSSION FORUMS! The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon is a long-running serial documenting the various characters of the newly established colony “Sanctuary Moon” and the challenges they must face and overcome. We welcome fans to come join us on the official discussion forums! (This discussion forum is unaffiliated with the actual Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon and all content here should be deemed non-canon to the show. Also, please stop breaking our language filters.)

vacation protocol by shamoosh

In a shockingly accurate imitation of the voice ART uses to talk to humans, Iris intoned, “The vacation protocol is now in effect.”

I wish you could try by laxlyricism

ART wants me to punch it in the face? It made itself an entire human-form drone so I can punch it in the face? Why? You want me to punch you in the face. I don’t say it as a question, but it’s a question. No, you want to punch me in the face. It sounds… happy? Proud of itself? Risk assessment spikes a little higher. I’m just offering you a chance to try. That is, if you think you can manage it.

I Wish I Could Punch You In The Typeface by glitterary

‘I’m not illiterate,' I said, defensively. ‘I can read.’ I know you can read, said ART. We read One Hundred Light-Years of Solitude together last week and your analysis was very insightful. It paused. It just did not occur to me that you might be unable to generate written messages in hardspace. It's Iris' birthday, and everyone really wants SecUnit to sign her card. There's just one small problem with that.

ART and its humans

cognitive development by torpidgilliver

Iris==small. Seth bring Iris closer. It wasn't the reaction Seth had expected, although in retrospect maybe he should have. Iris wasn't just a new person, but a new concept. It was natural that the AIs would find her novel. A newly sentient ART meets a newly born Iris.

MB and Three

Unacceptable Topics of Conversation by mensah

Murderbot gives SecUnit 3 a haircut. They discuss the governor module.

Unsteady Foundations by platyceriums

Three is growing frustrated with Murderbot's refusal to offer support in the terrifying ordeal of being a newly rogue SecUnit.

Hey did you know there's a tell all book about the behind the scenes of Meta and the author is forbidden from promoting it?

The good news is however that it's already published and can't be stifled and whoever didn't sign the NDA can promote it as much as they want.

Farewell online privacy

[sofablob]

as an aroace person with limited sexual experience, no interest in watching porn, and poor sex ed as a teen, there IS something simultaneously funny and vaguely tragic about being 28 adult years old and realising how extremely tiny your frame of reference is for genitalia and deciding you should expand this to better understand bodies (yours and others). and then you're just there like "okay so what the fuck do I even google right now, anyway"

[sofablob]
