Summary
"It was more like a SecUnit than a bot, so much so I wondered if it was a construct, if there was cloned organic brain tissue buried in its systems somewhere."

Summary
ART said, more cautiously than I was used to from it, This is more akin to physical touch than what you usually find tolerable.
I knew that, but I didn’t like thinking about it. It was fine.
ART took me at my word for it, and having it squish me became part of the things we did when I was anxious or plagued by stress toxins in my system. Sometimes I asked it to do it even when I was feeling okay. It was a nice feeling. At the time I thought of it as comfortable and relaxing. Without someone physically present touching me, it registered more like the pressure of being underwater, and that just didn’t repulse me like touching skin did.
It’s true that it was relaxing, but the reason I liked it so much was secretly that it felt good. I hadn’t even admitted it to myself at the time, but I kept asking ART to squeeze me, and eventually things escalated.

Summary
The ship says that it is my client.
---
The ship that Murderbot hitches a ride with in Rogue Protocol decides it wants a SecUnit friend of its own, and manages to acquire one, with Ship itself listed as the client. With no humans on board, there's nothing to stop them from watching media together until the contract is up.

Summary
I had been incredibly skeptical when Ratthi had sent me ‘Midnight Eclipse.’ I knew what fanfiction was, I had seen it in the more niche entertainment feeds before. Never specifically for Sanctuary Moon, but I'd assumed it existed. That didn't mean I had any actual interest in it, though. When I had first looked at them, I hadn't liked them. The quality varied too much and a lot of them weren't finished, or were really short, or really out of character. And I hated that. I really really hated that.
This one was different.

Totaled Doesn't Mean Irreparable by Scarlet_Tanager

Summary
When Murderbot gets (almost) fatally injured during a routine mission it has to deal with the emotional fallout from itself, all of its humans, one paranoid machine intelligence with enough power to make sure it never goes anywhere again, and the damage it does to one interpersonal relationship. Ugh, so many emotions.

Summary
ART tries to kill itself -- completely out of nowhere and over something entirely innocuous. Or was it simply the last straw?
Pause. Roll back the tape. Let's see how we got here. And after that, let's figure out how to go on.

Summary
“Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”
“You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.
“Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”
That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.
Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.
(OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

Summary
In 2028, the Department of State approaches Elijah Kamski about developing a unique, dangerous android to meet their specific needs. It's not on any record book at CyberLife, and as far as anyone knows, after Kamski's death a few years later, the project falls out of development entirely.
In 2033, Connor Stern joins the DPD as a detective. He works with Hank Anderson, and they orbit each other for years. They become friends, and then they fall in love. They decide their relationship is worth the risk to their jobs, and that they can hide it until Hank retires in 2039.
But something is happening in Detroit. It builds slowly, but their world is about to change.

Summary
He stops three feet, four inches away from Hank. He looks the same as he always has, which isn’t surprising. Part of Connor thinks the whole world should seem different now that he’s deviant. He was too distracted, too overwhelmed to think about it when he saw him in the CyberLife warehouse, but now he finds it somewhat surprising that Hank is the same.
Of course, it’s not the world or Hank that’ve changed. Just Connor.
Or: Connor discovers emotions. Hank teaches him.

Summary
Connor nods at Hank’s drink anyway, almost empty, and says, “Can I get you another?”
“Oh,” Hank says. “You don’t have to...”
Connor blinks at him - he’s sort of intense, actually, Hank thinks, especially for someone with such good puppy dog eyes. “Were you going to get yourself another one?”
“I mean...yeah, probably.”
“Then let me,” Connor says, and Hank must be gaping at him in complete confusion, because Connor shrugs and leans in closer to him. “I think you’re hot,” he says, like they’re sharing a secret, “in case that wasn’t obvious.”
~~
In 2036, while Hank is in Chicago on business, he meets Connor for the first time, and he can't stop thinking about him after. There's a magnetism between them that keeps pulling them back together, and it's easy to fall in love with him.
But Connor has secrets, and Hank has a few of his own, too.

Summary
Jaskier's start in life was unfortunate, but sadly not unheard of. He was put in a sack, less than an hour old, and chucked in the river. For many in his position that would of been the end of it, but the Yaruga heard his cut off wail and swept him into her loving embrace.
Less than an hour old and Jaskier had already died and been reborn as the newest child of Mama Yaruga.

Hank had to remind himself that he didn't really deserve that little skip upward in his chest when he came home, again, and Connor was still there, again. But Connor kept wearing his coat and walking his dog and touching his hand.

Summary
Hank was at work. Connor should be at work. He frowned from the sofa, staring at his jacket across the room. He liked that jacket. His favorite part of being woken up after uploading to a new build was when he put the jacket on and fixed his tie. He was mad that it had betrayed him, become something that marked him as less-than-a-person.

He was made to be a killing machine.
He wasn’t made to be domestic. Wasn’t meant to clean or cook or take care of a dog.
But he’ll try. He’d be damned if he didn’t.
He wanted to be more than what he was programmed to be.

Summary
After the android uprising, Connor becomes a permanent fixture in the DPD. That’s fine. Gavin can accept that. The dipshit’s more human than he used to be, and a decent detective to boot. Gavin can deal with him being around.
What Gavin cannot deal with is Connor’s replica; prissy, cold-eyed, and with a mouth that Gavin doesn’t know whether to punch or take between his teeth. The RK900 model has been assigned as his partner for the foreseeable future.

Summary
The installation finally hit 100%. A small chime sounded in Connor’s CPU. On the side, the holopad chimed in union, a small ‘Congratulations!’ flashing over the hard-light screen.
Connor's ordered biocomponents arrive and he is overwhelmed by the opportunity to explore his sexuality and appetite. Hank is a little bowled over, and not so sure.
