I shoved its hand up under its chin and took the pressure off its weapon. It had a split second to try to abort that fire command and it failed. (from All Systems Red)

Summary
I admit I was distracted when the bottom of the crater where Volescu and Bharadwaj were working exploded. To be fair, I don’t think any of us expected a fully fledged dragon to pop out of the ground and take a bite out of one of the humans.
Exploring a Fantasy AU for Muderbot for the events at the start of Book One: All Systems Red.
Created for the Murderbot Reverse Big Bang and including a story, two pieces of art, and a podfic!

Hold the Skies Together by FascinatedFinch, ramshackle_fey
Fandom The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
01 Jan 2026
Summary
As SBtS started growing out of control and spawning sequels, it also started poking roots into my other writing.
All the fic in here are canon within SBtS, and I have more stuff planned to come out both concurrent with and before the events of SBtS.
The shorts are individually sorted by when they occur, but they're all tacked on at the end of the series. When I drop any that are concurrent with SBtS, or when one of the pre-SBtS events is directly brought up, there'll be a link to it in the chapter notes where it fits.
The shorts also all work as standalones without any other knowledge of the series. Though, especially if you're the kind of reader who likes combing for clues about future plot events, you might figure one or two things out early.
We've also added a work here just for all of Finch's gorgeous illustrations, so you can look through those by chapter, and see her character design sheets and concept sketches!

Fey Being Very Normal About the Feed by FascinatedFinch, ramshackle_fey
Fandom The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
08 Jul 2025
Summary
All of my fic where I'm talking about the feed and the experiences of constructs, bots, and humans interacting with it. They're ordered by where they fall relative to canon events, but you don't have to read them in any particular order at all. "Security Squabbles" is in here because as much as Squab started as total crack, they also really push the boundaries of what communicating and living in the feed would be like.

Summary
While recognizing that we have traveled well into the realm of the hypothetical – AMI are as yet a theoretical entity, the progeny of AMI still more so – we are nevertheless quite confident to say that the introduction of children to the world of AMI would be a pivotal moment indeed.

Summary
“i dont want to be a pet bot.”
I think I fucked up my memory rebuild somehow. If I was smart, I would have told someone. A soft reset might have prevented this, or maybe a system rollback, or something. But I wasn't feeling very smart at that moment. I was just scared.
“We know, SecUnit. That won't happen.”
Five times Murderbot saw Miki again, and one time it didn't.

Summary
Something is wrong. ART said over the speakers.
This was alarming, as you might imagine, for a variety of reasons. Most being that ART hated admitting anything was wrong.-
ART is having issue with the feed. Murderbot and Three have to go deep to find the source of the problem. Featuring: convoluted references to low-level computer systems, abstract descriptions of artifical intelligence, and the most goddamn incredible art I have ever seen in my life.
