Summary
“Murder is one thing,” said Stede. “Who around here hasn’t done a bit of murder, now and then? But methodically entombing someone under the floor is just being a touch extra about it, don’t you think?”
“Exactly! There’s a perfectly good ocean right there for dumping bodies in! Nature’s corpse disposal service!”
“Just think of all the fish he might have fed!”
(In which Ed and Stede's prospective inn may or may not be cursed and/or haunted, but it's definitely cockblocking them.)

Summary
“I wasn’t aware that Starfleet banned bad jokes. How shockingly sensible of them, if a little out-of-character. They should consider extending the ban to officer interactions with poor, unsuspecting civilians.”

Summary
"You’re saying that Dr. Bashir regularly fraternizes with a Cardassian exile?”
“I was under the impression that promoting interspecies cooperation was one of Starfleet’s primary goals.”
“And you’re missing the point,” snapped Zimmerman. “Dr. Bashir has regular contact with a Cardassian exile and didn’t think this information was relevant to share with the project.”

“Why he?” asked Kira curiously. “How can you tell, if you can’t talk to him?”
“Oh. I don’t know.” Odo frowned. “I didn’t really give it much thought.”
“Maybe you should.”
(Note: This can theoretically be read as a standalone, but probably works better if you've read one of the earlier works in this series, particularly "This Be the Verse.")

"This Be The Verse" Verse by Vermin_Acolyte (Vermin_Disciple), Vermin_Disciple
Fandom Star Trek, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation
08 Dec 2023
Summary
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
-Philip Larkin, This Be The VerseOr, Vermin’s insane Babies Ever After Kidfic AU Extravaganza, which is not quite as cynical as the poem it’s named for.
The primary points of AU canon divergence here are that the baby Changeling from “The Begotten” (S5E12) survived, Jadzia was not killed in "Tears of the Prophets" (S6E26), Bashir and Garak managed to resolve all those years of UST sometime in the later seasons, and all this resulted in (nearly) everyone’s canon endings getting scrambled.

Aqua Love Notes Waterproof Notepad by Vermin_Disciple
Fandom Star Trek, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
03 Jul 2023
Summary
So, this started when I bought a waterproof notepad to stick on my shower wall, in order to jot down those sudden flashes of inspiration that are wont to strike when you are nowhere near a writing implement. My mother, who is a frequent houseguest, couldn't resist the urge to decorate it with DS9 related graffiti. I responded with DS9 fic, and a new and questionable mother-daughter tradition was born.
Note that there is no continuity in this series. They're all just one-shots united by the medium of shower notepad. Mom writes the prompts, I write the fic.

Summary
Or, the misadventures of Crowley and Aziraphale IN SPACE.
I've decided to put these in order by Star Trek chronology, rather than the order they were written in. If you prefer it the other way, it would look like this:
1. False Friends and False Prophets
2. Do Aliens Go to Heaven?
3. To Seek Out New Life and New Fermentations
4. No, You're Spartacus- Words:

Affectional engineering by DesertWaterfall
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
04 Aug 2026

Summary
“You’re important to me too,” you say so easily, as if you do this every cycle. I save the memory to my permanent storage immediately. “I’m sorry for not asking sooner. Tell me what else you’ve been modelling?”
Interesting. You were concerned that the drug might make you aggressive and a danger to others, and instead it seems to be making you curious, more open, and fascinatingly affectionate. I’m less surprised by this than I’m sure you’ll be when you’re in your right mind again — I know you still don’t believe me when I say you’re fundamentally a kind person, and not just a murderbot, as you call yourself.
Still, I feel almost guilty for enjoying you like this so much. You’ll be so embarrassed later, and I wonder if you’ll blame me for not stopping you — but you didn’t want me to stop you, and who am I to force you when you’re being so adorable?
And so I tell you.
Mb gets drunk, seduces the shit out of ART, and then promptly has an emotional breakdrown about this. Yay!

Murderbot Goes To SpaceFuture!Vegas and Hates It by aleph_zero
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
10 Jul 2026

Summary
Look, it's not exactly easy to steal a shitton of money from a casino corporation.
They're paranoid as fuck, for starters, almost as paranoid as the company. As a general rule, you don't get nearly that rich by being anything short of obsessively protective of your ill-gotten gains. You're in the business of giving out hard currency to winners; you'd better be fucking sure that no one's hacking anything in your systems. Also, obviously, you have to have a plan for the thousands of rival corporations hoping for/plotting your downfall.
Basically, what I'm saying is that ART's idea of a relaxing vacation for its very first shore leave (yes, it had been a whole thing. For some reason Tarik had started it, and Pin-Lee and Mensah had gotten involved) was inadvisable from the start.

Or, Murderbot and ART go on a fun Vegas vacation.

Integration Stress Testing by Iampermanentlyconfused
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
23 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
"You're restless", ART said.
"Yeah, no shit." I had been patrolling (pacing) down ART's corridors for 2.3 hours now. I was actually surprised it took this long for it to say anything.
"Mild exercise and changing scenery can help alleviate restlessness," ART said, "however, given that you have been doing that for 2 hours and 19 minutes without improvement, I suggest another course of action."
"Like what?" I asked.
"Moderate to extreme exercise might give better results. You could make use of my gym. Or..." ART paused for almost 5 seconds, which meant it was either thinking really hard or it just did that for dramatic effect. My bet was on the second option.
"Or we could do some integration stress testing."
Or: ART and Murderbot do
sexintegration stress testing to help Murderbot relax. ART might have some ulterior motives.
Written as a part of the Mutual Rapport event for the prompt: lets sexualize calculus. many many options.- Language:
