    Summary

    on the mechanics of intimacy, the blurred line between healing and pain, and what it means to be a living person despite it all. AKA Murderbot and Three are platonically gay for each other and that's a fact

    (all works in this series are unrelated, meaning that they *don't* reference each other and *can* be read in any order. have fun!)

    Summary

    Environment=secure & hostile presence=null, Three reminded me. You are safe. Then it brought up the situational improvement parameters it’d sent. Query: enact?

    I hesitated. Three waited. The thing was, these “improvements” weren’t necessary for the maintenance process. In fact, they were probably going to emotionally compromise one or both of us and make everything harder than it had to be. The smart, logical, reasonable thing to do would be to answer a negative and proceed with maintenance in a more standard/efficient way. Weirdly, though, that idea dropped my performance reliability by a whole percentage.

    So maybe I wasn’t feeling very smart/logical/reasonable. I told Three Confirm before I could talk myself out of it.

    ————————

    nothing to see here, just two deeply traumatized living weapons inventing new forms of weird physical intimacy in order to inflict tenderness on each other

    Summary

    An unfortunate error caused PreservationAux to start their survey late, and Murderbot found itself rented by a different survey crew. It ended up on the same shitty planet anyway.

    Summary

    Deathstroke's son is dead and he demands an apprentice to pay off the blood debt--Robin, specifically.

    While the already-grieving Dark Knight's investigation devolves into a self-destructive spiral, Dick clings stubbornly to his ideals...and somewhere along the line he might end up accidentally befriending his dead brother.
