    Summary

    "Why do you keep doing that?" I asked.
    "What?"
    "Since we came back from our last mission, you have touched your data port on average once every 44 minutes, excluding the times when you were asleep. That isn't normal."

    After Murderbot had to hold Gurathin down and rip out his data port on a mission, they both have to contend with the fact that they liked it more than they probably should. Maybe they even liked it so much that they want to do it again.

    Summary

    TL;DR: Murderbot accidentally discovers Gurathin’s native language gives it robo-ASMR and proceeds to torture him about it. Also, there are chickens.

    Submitting as a WIP for Day 4 of Murderbot Maladies Event 2026, minor malady: "Accidentally saying something embarrassing in a foreign language"
    (The major malady here is colonialism, I suppose, but that wasn’t on the list)
    (Also Gurathin’s entire life is a malady, so)

    The fic is inspired by the book line about Gurathin saying something that Murderbot could not understand, but it doesn’t follow the books' canon. Set some months after S1 finale, after Murderbot comes to Preservation.

    Summary

    I had slipped from one group of disembarking travelers to another, fully planning on getting a new set of clothes (you could never be too careful and the concept of shopping was still a novel one), when the message pinged into my semi-public feed.
    I see you, SecUnit.
    Not the most threatening message I had ever received, but by far the most ominous one.

    or: a chance encounter between a CombatUnit and a ComfortUnit alters the course of both their lives

    Summary

    The rogue SecUnit that calls itself Murderbot is on a boring contract when something goes very wrong. It ends up stuck with a kid, hunted by a corporate alliance that wants the kid dead, and reluctantly allied with an asshole research transport that claims to have its best interests in mind.
