    Summary

    With Networks VOID/Networks VITAL, NULLverse is narratively Complete. But I keep writing anyway. Cuz it's fun.

    Consider this series if you like: feral shit, disaster, continuity of identity+memory, societies of people with divergent needs/wants, chaos, robot creation ethics, violence vs security, suffering, healing, bad puns.

    Canon Divergence AU:
    - At the end of Exit Strategy, the Combat SecUnit succeeds at capturing Murderbot
    - Murderbot is subjected to Palisade's construct research lab
    - The Combat SecUnit is A (Problematic) Character
    - Disaster ensues

    Series has its ups and downs regarding angst, dark comedy, and trauma recovery themes. Plus some whack worldbuilding speculation. We like to multi track drift here. It’s crack it’s angst it’s fluff? We have the RangeTM

    Some installments are skippable if u so prefer. Reading order is suggested but not strictly necessary if u are a flexible type. Mix and match if you want. Go crazy. I know I am.

    Hope you have fun!

    Summary

    "ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
    I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."

    A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.

    Summary

    What if Stede Bonnet was driven mad by his childhood tormenters. Driven to become the greatest pirate the world would ever know. Driven to take all the fine things in life away from the silver spoon milksops who didn't deserve them.

    What if Edward Teach was driven away from violence after brutally murdering his abusive father. Driven to become a pacifist pirate and captain to the misfits no other pirate would take. Driven to believe he deserved nothing but a chance to keep his crew alive for just one more day.

    What if these men met and fell in love at first sight.
