    Summary

    “Human book recommends relaxing bedtime routine. Listen to soothing music, sleep in a cool, dark quiet room. Stick to regular schedule.” Rocky recites what he read. “Schedule is good, room is dark and quiet. Soothing music, question?”

    “Not a bad idea,” Grace stretches his legs a little. “I’ve shown you lots of music. You remember the soothing ones. Why don’t you sing for me?” He asks, jokingly.

    “Good good good!” Rocky chirps excitedly, wiggling around inside his ball. “Yes, Rocky will sing. Grace will listen. Grace will sleep easily.”

    Summary

    Grace knew that there were going to be cultural differences between Eridians and humans.

    Rocky knew this, too, but no matter how foolish humans could be, even the densest of them knew this was courting, right? Right??

    -
    AKA Grace keeps doing things that Rocky percieves as courting (per Eridian traditions) and is entirely clueless about it

    Summary

    ART doesn't respond for 7 seconds (a really long time, considering no humans were listening).

    "...But we do have a relationship."

    I feel my face do something weird and I am suddenly very glad it waited until I was in my room to have this conversation.

    -

    Or, something witty and insightful about defining your own boundaries and what intimacy and love means for you.

    Summary

    "ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
    I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."

    A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.
