    Summary

    Something funny was happening to my organic parts. I felt… strange. Strange in a bad way. Strange in a sick with dread way, no matter how stupid that was. Its owner wasn't coming back.

    ART pinged me. I ignored it.

    The fauna had been left behind, just like the furniture, just like all the other human things. And now it had gone rogue, outside what it had been allowed to do before, in an effort to survive. 

    And okay, yes, maybe these were dumb conclusions to come to, and a SecUnit shouldn't be projecting anything onto a domesticated fauna.

    But it had been abandoned.

    Summary

    He searched for “dissociation” in his recently accessed files, but most of the results were treatment manuals or technical reports on research studies. Funny how he knew that, but didn’t remember how to use them or where to go from here. He felt his face scowl and his throat clench. He was fine.

    Summary

    Why do humans call it a crush, anyway? I’ve seen actual crushing, and it’s not romantic; it’s not even vaguely appealing. In fact, it’s pretty horrific. Same for when humans describe love as “falling” for someone, or say they’re “drowning” in sensation. I remain convinced that most of my Preservation humans are simply too naïve to know what these things actually feel like. But, speaking as someone who has fallen, drowned, and been crushed (although, thankfully not all at once), I can say with authority that being with Gurathin is nothing like that.

    - - -

    A series of glimpses into Murderbot exploring its sexuality and the experience of shared touch with Gurathin. The first chapter is pretty mild, but the series will earn its explicit rating in later installments. This work lives in the same world as the first work in the series (Virus), but can be read standalone.

    Summary

    Living on Eden instilled Simon with a very utilitarian view of sex and pleasure. There was never any time for more than quick and quiet fumbling in the dark, chasing release before you got caught. Even on the Hail Mary, they just didn't have the time, energy or resources to draw things out in the rare event things got heated.

    But now, with time, energy and resources in abundance, Ryland Grace insists on treating Simon. Taking his time. And taking full advantage of their newfound privacy. Simon might lose his mind.
