    Summary

    Percy has been told, over and over, that names have power. But he didn't expect his worrying over Estelle's first words to have such a big impact on his sense of family - and his sense of self.

    Summary

    “I’ll drink to that.” He raises his cup to the sky – to the rough location where, a few hours ago, the Death Star had exploded into glittering fragments in the heavens. “The monster’s dead. He’s rotting in hell and the galaxy’s a brighter place for it. Bottoms up, huh?”

    He drinks to it. Luke says, steadily, “He was my father.”

    Han snorts a laugh into his drink. It’s only as he raises his eyes, smirking, to Luke’s face and sees the look on it that his laughter dies away.

    The look on Luke’s face is calm. Steady. Stony, almost. He says, slowly, “You’re not kidding.”

    “No,” says Luke.

    He thinks, I’m too drunk for this.

    Summary

    “Has anything strange ever happened in your house? Like some houses get really cold for no reason, or people hear things banging about when there's no one there.”
    “That sounds terrible,” Elliot says, “I'm glad it's never happened where I live.”
    ~~
    When Elliot develops the ability to see the ties that bind ghosts to their living hosts, he is recruited into a government program to train future paranormal investigators. The problem? Elliot lives in a haunted house, and no one wants the ghost to leave.

    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

    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.

    Whichever option they choose, they had better make it work, because SecUnit is firmly centered in the crosshairs of its former owner, the most paranoid and ruthless company in the entire corporation rim. As things quickly get worse, destroying the company--something SecUnit has long considered impossible--might just be the only way to survive.

    Summary

    As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.

    Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.

    The entirety of Artificial Condition, from ART's POV.

    Summary

    Círdan, who was once told his would be the last ship to leave the rounded world (though it was not rounded yet), seeks out the last person who might accompany him. Maglor has a decision to make, and not much time left in which to make it.

    --

    “I thought I was the only elf left in the round world,” said Maglor, last son of Fëanor, who had loomed large in history and died so very young.

    “Save one,” Círdan said, and by the hurt on Maglor’s face then, it was clear he had not really thought that after all, even if he pretended to. It was a terrible thing to be the last of your kind.

    Summary

    “Find Medusa?” Percy spluttered, trying and failing not to sound indignant. “Nobody wants to find Medusa. You run into Medusa while trying to retrieve your uncle’s stolen lightning bolt and then mail her head to the gods after she keeps talking about how your eyes are like your father’s.”

    From behind him, Piper raised a single finger. “When you mail what to whom?”

    Percy glanced over his shoulder to give her a shrug. “Don’t worry about it. I was twelve,” he said before turning back to where Gabe was still fighting against the ropes binding his hands together. “Do you have any idea what to do with him?”

    Nico leaned over, craning his neck to better peer at the hot sauce that still stained Gabe’s face despite the years of statue-ification. “Um, we could see if your dad wants to turn him into a fish or something?”

    Percy grimaced. If Gabe Ugliano was a fish, then he’d be forced to hear the man’s voice in his head for years to come. But also, he could maybe mount him on a wall, so perhaps it wasn’t an entirely terrible idea.

    Or

    Medusa’s sculptures are mysteriously coming back to life. Percy doesn’t think murder is an unreasonable action given the circumstances.

    Summary

    Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.

    There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.

    They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

    -
    or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.
