    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.

    Summary

    I can move within the feed, pouring more of myself into parts, like waves on an incoming tide. And if I am the ocean, then perhaps you are a lighthouse. I must rise towards and around you, the physics of gravity unrefusable, yet you are a small presence that refuses to be moved.

    Written as part of the Murderbot Diaries Mutual Rapport.

    In which the author was given a NSFW prompt but accidentally focused more on worldbuilding the construct and bot omegaverse lore

    Summary

    No, it said. Original crew twenty-three. Now is only me.

    Wh- “Twenty-two of your people died?” It wasn’t just cynicism that made me wonder if it had killed them. How else did only one being survive the death of almost two dozen others? But then again, what were the chance of two murderers being the only hope of two civilizations’ survival?

    No. Twenty-three die.

    What.

    “You’re saying… everyone died.”

    A full octave lower: Yes yes yes.

    My first, admittedly stupid, thought was of that one haunted station episode in Farland Star Roads. Was this the ghost of a crew member? Was it the reanimated corpse of a crew member? Was this the vengeful, supernatural, demonic killer of-

    Nope, that was stupid. I needed more information.

    Summary

    The coffee machine was fucking haunted. Or something. I wasn’t sure what else it could’ve been—I didn’t even really believe haunting was possible, but what the fuck did I know? Maybe those supernatural serials were more true than I thought.

    I made the rational choice and unplugged the machine.

    The little shit unplugged your coffee machine.

    Coffee shop au that is 90% jokes and 10% lore.

    Summary

    In one sci-fi universe, humanity’s first effort at interstellar exploration leads to a colony ship, the Courageous, flying long beyond its intended mission to escape the influence of the political forces which financed its construction. In another, Earth is a long-forgotten memory and people of good will have to fight simply to avoid being devoured by the sprawling, decrepit, yet powerful political entity known as the Corporation Rim. Now, I ask you this: what if the people of the Courageous and the people of Preservation Alliance had that universe and its problems in common?

    Or: that one time SecUnit meets the other most ace construct in the universe who likes rescuing people and things immediately go sideways.
