    Summary

    In the cosmic joke that is Kon-El's life, the universe pulled one final prank. The multiverse had itself a do-over, and decided to reset itself without Kon-El. It reset, and everyone he loved now lived a whole life without him. They remember a world where he never existed, never made an impact in their lives. It all would have been fine and dandy, too, if the universe had actually done the thing properly.

    But Kon's still here, somehow. A ghost in the machine, carrying all the ghosts of his old timeline with him. Maybe it would be easier if he stayed away from all the people wearing his friends faces.

    ...Kon's taking the universe reset just fine, why do you ask?

    Summary

    SecUnit allows for a silence of about two seconds, before saying, “It’s me.” The simplicity of the statement, and its almost comical pointlessness, is enough to kickstart Ayda’s brain.

    “Yes, I see that.” She flattens her lips, though whether to fight a beaming grin or a boiling meltdown, even she isn’t sure.

    -

    When SecUnit disappears from its hotel room, Ayda doesn't expect to see it again. Then it turns up in her office.

    Summary

    The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :)

    Now with bonus chapters!

    -

    The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem.

    Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.

    Summary

    SecUnit Three is just a little overwhelmed by its newly found existence as a rogue and turns to Murderbot for help. Murderbot wants none of it. After all, SecUnits are not friends.
    (In which Murderbot remembers just how wrong that statement is.)

    Summary

    During a diplomatic trip to the university's home system to better establish the newly-formed treaty with the Preservation Alliance, Three tries to figure out who it is. Between exploring new hobbies and its sense of fashion, it attempts to figure out what its relationship with Murderbot 1.0 is, precisely. (Murderbot 1.0 ignores this, until it doesn't).

    Summary

Objective: Find out why.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
    “Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
    “Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
    Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.

    Summary

    The whole thing took 3.7 minutes. It was impersonal, efficient, and streamlined, just the way the corporates liked it. Oh, and the new construct was screaming the whole time.

    Bharadwaj is sent a packet of video files from the Corporation Rim as part of her research for her documentary. When viewing one clip in particular, SecUnit's human friends learn something new about the lives of constructs.

While chaperoning at the dance, the Doctor accidentally lets slip how deep his feelings run and Martha at first pulls away, not knowing how a relationship with the Doctor would affect her ever increasingly complicated family dynamics.

    Summary

    Aged 19, the Doctor elopes with his law professor after an explosive affair. Twenty-five years later, he and the Master are trapped in a dead-end marriage of cruelty, infidelity, and coercion.

    Even leaving the Master may not be enough to change that now.


    Or, as Derek Jacobi described it: “Well, in this day and age they could end up married!”
