Summary
“You know, when I told my mother that I was seeing a turian, she told me that I’d never get the emotional and physical intimacy that I could expect from a human.” Shepard commented, seemingly at random, and directed the comment at the dozing turian with his head in her lap. “I think maybe that was false advertising.”

People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?Bookmarked by switch_vale

Summary
Spidey hadn’t made it to patrol since getting that text message. As much as Wade valued their time together, he could understand that sometimes, too much Deadpool left a really bad aftertaste in one’s mouth. It had been a perfectly reasonable assumption that the webslinger was doing his own thing on the opposite side of the city, and he’d come crawling back to Wade when he needed a good laugh or a midnight meal, or both.
Wade should have questioned that logic. Three days wasn’t a long time to take a break from someone like Deadpool, but it was a long time to be missing.
There was a small, folded-up square of paper alongside the costume. Wade felt like he was cracking open a fortune cookie, only instead of some vague shit that applied to everyone and no one at the same time, it was two words scribbled in thick sharpie.
‘FIND ME’.

Summary
Monoco’s station was just as it had always been, Gommage or no. The painted curves of it flowed and trailed, one long brush stroke after another. The snow stayed, and so did the grandis, the gentle petals of iron, the curve of playful trains.
Only Monoco had left. Only they had changed. And then they’d returned, and for what? To scavenge the chroma of corpses long gone to rest? To scrape the paint from a hundred abandoned creations?
Verso was tired.
“Yes,” he said, “I could have saved him.”
Or: Maelle brings Gustave back, and accidentally ties his soul to Verso. This changes things.

Bookmarker's Notes
When you find a fic that has all the things you wanted to see in the game ending and even then the author over delivers. Absolutely adored this read. Might be one of my favorite fics I've read. 💕

Summary
After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.
OR
The time period between the end of Artificial Condition and the end of Exit Strategy, from ART's POV.

Coming from the man that coerced a pilgrim, a kid, that he just met into promising him the ocean, who he's known for a handful of days and somehow drunkenly married in some Old Villedor version of a shotgun wedding.
Fuck, he’s pathetic.

Summary
“I don’t want your stupid word,” Aiden continues, thrashing violently enough to force himself from Hakon’s grip and throw himself against the door to his room. His unlatched door, of course, meaning the younger man has successfully fallen forward to the floor, fingers gripping the doorknob just to keep upright. “Your word, your word – what has that ever done for anyone?”
Or: Hakon makes a habit of avoiding the elephant in the room, and Aiden has had more than enough of this little song and dance.

Summary
ART was unhappy with my decision to return to Preservation Station. “Unhappy” was putting it mildly. In a word, ART was pissed, and if we didn’t have Preservation humans aboard (who wanted to go home and would probably consider themselves kidnapped if they ended up anywhere else) I was pretty sure I would be kidnapped by now. Instead, I was enduring the long trip home (is Preservation “home” now?) with a Pissed Off Research Transport (PORT?) who was alternating between moody silences and strategic attempts to manipulate me into staying.

Summary
Everything about Arthur's hospital stay is terrible, but John holds a certain fear at night. When all the lights go out, it is only John with his thoughts and what he can see in the dark. One night, however, he sees a strange creature: one that lights up all on its own, providing some meager comfort to what John fears most.
It's not weird to talk to a bug.

Summary
ART is finally scheduled to return to Preservation, but Murderbot has no idea what to do. Should it confront ART about the vivid hallucinations it’s been experiencing (hallucinations that appear to actually be ART's fantasies)? Murderbot doesn’t want to jeopardize its relationship (ew) with ART, but it’s also not sure if things can ever be the same.

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.
