Summary
The point was, two miners, who were probably bored and/or angry about something, had just summoned one of their SecUnits, who had to do everything they said, to an empty hallway far away from the other humans.
There weren’t a lot of reasons to do that, and none of the possibilities were things I was particularly excited about.
Of course, I didn’t actually have to do everything they said, but I sort of did anyway, or they’d report me to the company and I’d get memory wiped and they’d either fix my governor module or just melt me down. And I wasn’t particularly excited about those possibilities, either.
So I kept walking. What else could I do?
~~
In the middle of a shitty assignment, dealing with performance reliability dips and occasional system failures, Murderbot is summoned by a couple of bored, angry clients. It knows how these things go.Series

Summary
Cobra's face became more serious, then, and he leaned forward, his hands folded on the table between them. “There is one other thing we should discuss. One other way you must… prepare yourself to rule this country.”
Vivi frowned, leaning forward to match him. “Of course,” she said. “What is it?”
“It isn’t good to lead alone,” her father said, “and you must take care to decide who will sit beside you.”
~~
The Straw Hats are gone, and Vivi is starting to step further into her role as the future Queen of Alabasta. But when her father brings up a specific responsibility, it's time for Vivi to make yet another difficult decision. -

“Sol,” she said again, and her hand was cool and soothing on his wrist. “Are you okay?”
Sol swallowed hard, lowering his gaze and focusing on Callie’s hand instead of her face. “I can’t sleep,” he admitted. “And, um, Calder used to help me, because being cold makes me feel tired, and I thought, since you’re a winter eladrin now, maybe…” He trailed off.
“Did you and Calder used to cuddle without me?” Callie asked, and she sounded offended, but Sol looked up and saw a smile dancing across her face.
~~
They're only a couple days into their journey through the mountains, and Sol can't sleep. Callie's not okay, either, but she does what she can to help. -

Summary
“Tobias?” Rachel asked, keeping her voice quiet, staring at the ceiling.
"Hm?" His thought-speak was distant, distracted, listening to her but not really listening.
She breathed in, breathed out. “Is there anyone else in the house?”
~~
It's been almost a week since the David incident, and Rachel isn't quite coping. Tobias listens, and helps, as best he can.

Taking a very casual approach to whumptober this year- filling prompts that inspire me, when they inspire me! Will be jumping around the prompt list and likely not posting a full 31 works, but any that I do complete will be slotted into here.

Summary
I woke up in a cubicle.
This was normal, I knew.
I couldn't remember the last time I had been in one, or the first time, or any of the times in between. This, I suspected, was deeply ab-fucking-normal. My head was aching. The organic parts of me felt like they had been scraped over with wire wool. I couldn't remember anything.

Summary
In which it is a truth universally acknowledged that Azune Nayar is bad at self-preservation but good at taking orders, and over the years many of the people who hold him dear have used the second fact to their advantage.
*
That seems to be the end of the conversation as far as Azune is concerned, but isn't for Hal. He cannot sit peaceful with the idea that a momentary careless gesture on his part could have Azune walking into the fire, figuratively or... not.
"Not exactly what I am used to," Hal tries. "You've met my children, my family, and I work with actors. Any person I have tried to give an instruction to in my entire life has argued back."
"I will not do that," Azune promises, like it's nothing. Given the circumstances, it is one of the least reassuring things Hal has ever heard.

Summary
The door opens behind them and slams shut. Leia storms in, giving Luke a dark look.
“Do you know how much work it’s going to take to find that guy?” she says. “You didn’t get a name, Luke, and even if you had, Mandalorians don’t have names. You can’t just go around asking after the Mandalorian.”
“Grogu can tell me about him.” Sort of. He doesn’t get exact words from Grogu so much as feelings and impressions. Right now he gets the feeling of lightness from where he’s sleeping on Han and Leia’s couch, so it must be a good dream. “I know he’s a bounty hunter.”
“Well, that’s just great.” Leia folds her arms. “We’ll just go around and knock on every bounty hunter’s door and say excuse me, have you seen a metal man? We don’t know how tall he is or anything else about him, but my brother here has described him effectively as ‘shiny’.”
Luke didn't actually tell Din everything he needed to know when he found Grogu. Han works to remedy that.
