After Hacking by Gamebird
Fandom The Murderbot Diaries, The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
15 Sep 2026
Summary
A series of short stories to the prompt: pre-canon but post-hack, Murderbot is owned and deployed by the Company. Emphasis on it facing painful, difficult choices, where it has to “choose” to obey, has to “choose” to act governed Or Else, where Murderbot has to look like it’s following callous, cruel, or profit-oriented orders, but still does what it can to reduce harm.
Please note that given the constraints of the prompt, Murderbot continues working, doesn't gain substantial allies or abilities, or make big changes in the world. Its gains are incremental and mainly self-discovery, so there's not a big, happy ending like with most of my fics. Murderbot is still learning some of the abilities it takes for granted by the time we meet it in ASR, including hacking, vocabulary, and social skills (yes, it has fewer social skills here than it does in ASR!)
These scenarios are arranged chronologically with several set within the same assignment, taking place within the first year after it hacks the governor module. I imagine these as incidents it discusses with Dr. Bharadwaj at some point post-NE, as it talks about early times when it recognized its own agency.
Thank you to horchata for helping me brainstorm!

Gamebird's Cinematic Universe for TMBD by Gamebird
Fandom The Murderbot Diaries, The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
18 Sep 2026
Summary
A lot of my TMBD fanfiction links together and here I have put them together in a mostly chronological recommended reading list. Most of this is canon-compliant Gen until you get to the Murderathin (MB/Gurathin) stories near the end, after Skulk. That's also where you'll find the only bits out of chronological order, with a couple stories from Gurathin's youth that inform the growing relationship between them.

Bricks in the Wall - means2bhuman by Gamebird, means2bhuman for Gamebird
Fandoms: Heroes (TV 2006)
02 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Technically not my first posting.
Spin off of possible More Between Us scenes in some alternate universe that may yet be woven back in; related to Sexual Tension (cowritten), but continuations of my versions of "bricks" from Gamebird's original Bricks in the Wall - after all, walls have two sides to them ;)
More Between Us Than a Wall (MBU) and Bricks in the Wall (original) and Sexual Tension are posted on Gamebird's account, some also on my Livejournal (Chapter 7 here, master link).
All mistakes are mine. Assume explicit sex/concepts, some darkness, trauma, triggers, M/M.

Summary
There was no going back from here. They’d let Evar in the door— into the cavern of mysteries— and nobody stepped out again who was not an initiate. He had seen the murals on the ceiling, the statues of the spirits, the ritual objects in gold and steel waiting to be anointed. He wouldn’t be allowed to leave until he’d been broken in.
