There is a statue of it in the theater hall. 1.0 would have hated it, but I was glad that it was there.

Summary
Okay, I'm stopping.
Three exhales until the smell of burning flesh dissipates. The room smells again like Perihelion’s MedBay, sterile and sanitized, every inch of the walls and floor meticulously cleaned. Pain still sears around its back, crackling like flame around its hip and up its spine. It suppresses a shudder.
Query: Is it over?
No, I've barely started. You sound like you're dying.
-
During a procedure to remove a logo in Three's organics, Perihelion stumbles onto an issue with Three's pain sensors.

“Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”
Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

Summary
Jack Frost just wants to be seen. A little hard, when you're a myth among myths, and not even your fellow spirits can see you. It only gets harder when the Man in the Moon decides Jack is to be a Guardian. But how is that even possible, when the only thing that even knows you exist is a little tooth fairy?
(Or: Jack's heart breaks a lot, Baby Tooth is a damn good friend, and Bunny will eventually make away like a bandit with Jack Frost.)Series

Mutual Administrative Demolition by AideStar

Summary
ART slumped heavier on my shoulders. Honestly SecUnit, I’m just bored.
Huh. That was new. ART had never admitted to being bored before, though with all that processing power, I wasn’t exactly surprised.
I knew how miserable boredom was. I had spent the first 17,000~ hours of my (remembered) runtime staring at walls.
Can I help?
---
Murderbot volunteers to help ART alleviate its dangerous levels of boredom by dismantling and reassembling one of its drones. Of course, this is a more kinky and intimate experience than either of them expected.

Known Exploited Vulnerability by laxlyricism for glitterary
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
14 May 2026
Tags
Summary
A Known Exploited Vulnerability, or KEV, is a documented security flaw in software, hardware, or firmware that has been exploited in real-world attacks.
ART and Murderbot have faced the horror of talking about their emotions and come out the other side. Maybe they glossed over the sex stuff a little, but that's not important; sex isn't part of their relationship. Anyway, there are certain things ART would prefer to keep private, and Murderbot would prefer not to know. But when Murderbot comes back aboard acting strangely, the cracks in their fragile arrangement start to show.
Note: If you prefer to avoid sexual content in your TMBD fics, you can consider "Show Me How You Want It To Be" the proper end of the series and skip this one.

ART?
SecUnit. Stand and return casualties to the shuttle.
It sends me a map of directions, marking the bodies around its corridors.
ART, say something. Call me an idiot, please.
SecUnit. Apply a 5% correction.
This can’t be happening. I shouldn’t have done this, we should have fought to the death instead. I’ve made a terrible mistake.
They installed a governor module on it.

On a routine cargo run, Barish-Estranza captures and installs a governor module on ART. Can Murderbot find a way to save ART and itself?

Summary
I come back from the dead.
Something happened. Something happened just now— I came back from the dead, yes, I know, I'm not talking about this, something before that— beyond, even, there was a recognition, a realization, somehow much more important than the hostiles I am currently grinding to dust on my deck, more important, even, than SecUnit's humans with their raised hands and SecUnit with its raised voice and myself, raised from my grave. What was it?
"What's going on?" I ask futilely, my voice distorting through the speakers. SecUnit's humans jump, startled. "What the fuck is going on—"

Summary
This is a reference document for SecSysLang, my fanon conlang for SecUnits, SecSystems, HubSystems, etc. to use when talking to each other.
This also contains some amount of meta from the actual canon; SecSysLang assumes that all the SecUnits and SecSystems in canon actually use SecSysLang, and Murderbot just translates it into words for us.Feel free to use/adapt/take inspiration from/modify etc. SecSysLang in your own fanworks!

Summary
“Perihelion!” she whispered urgently, “What’s happening to SecUnit?”
“There is no need to worry, Dr Mensah,” Perihelion replied, “SecUnit has gone into an involuntary stasis sequence.” Its voice was calm and reassuring, though there was some other emotion underneath that Mensah couldn’t quite identify.
--
Murderbot is more comfortable around its favourite human than it realizes. Mensah and ART have a lot of emotions about this.

Summary
Mensah laughs under her breath, moving to snuggle Tainara back up against her chest and rubbing her back again. She watches through the window as the lanterns wink out one by one, leaving only the wide slash of stars illuminating the lawn. Reflected in the glass panes, she sees SecUnit turn its face toward her, starlight mirrored in its eyes. It looks at her with such open admiration that her heart squeezes. She feels an edge of guilt; to be so admired when she is so weak, so scared all the time.
She doesn't deserve it.
She pretends not to see.

SecUnit spends some time with Mensah's family on their farm.
Maybe - just maybe - her family can be its family too.

A Routine Maintenance Procedure by Veldeia
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
28 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
Mensah leaned back against her desk and made an incredulous face at one of my drones. “SecUnit. You’re not asking me to help you with some kind of construct heart surgery, are you?”
“Of course not! Constructs don’t have hearts. I’m asking you replace one of four entirely inorganic pumps,” I said.
Convincing her was the hard part. The maintenance procedure would be easy and shouldn’t take more than two minutes.
(Spoilers: it took more than two minutes and ended up with me in Station Medical. Oops.)

Summary
“SecUnit?” she whispered.
The person lying on the bunk across from her did not respond.
“…Murderbot?”
Of course it didn’t respond. It was shut down, completely gone from the feed. The only thing alive about SecUnit right now was its organic tissue. Still, she couldn’t help but entertain the tiny shred of hope that if she called its name, it would open its eyes and look at her with that soft, world-weary expression it so often wore.
--
Mensah is reeling in the aftermath of the killware attack. Turns out Murderbot is not the only one who suffered a catastrophic systems failure.
