Summary
Part 1:
"No. Not interested. At all. Ever."
"You haven't even let me describe my newest accessory."
Alastor sighed dramatically. "Listen. I know how unreasonably proud you are of... switching out your sausages. But I've had the unfortunate pleasure of seeing the inside of his work briefcase"—he jerked a thumb over his shoulder toward the fluffy pink dancer on the nightclub's main stage—"and so I can assure you, there is nothing you could have wired to your groin that is either novel to me or appealing to me. Enjoy your evening." Alastor spun on one foot and trotted off.
"It's a microphone."
Alastor stopped five steps away. "What kind."
Part 2:
“Would you look at this masterpiece! The granddaddy of the greatest microphones in the world. That elegant, dramatic design—"
"Ohhh god," Vox groaned, spreading his knees wider. "I seriously underestimated how hot this was going to be."
Alastor raised his head from between Vox's thighs to glower.
"Well?" Vox smirked. "Go on. Call me ‘granddaddy’ again.”
"You're making it very hard to get into this."
"Do you know what you're making ‘very hard’—"

Summary
Charlie thinks it'll reflect badly on the hotel if Alastor follows his usual Halloween tradition: terrifying strangers into letting him crash their parties and pilfer their snacks. What if he does something different this year? Like hang out with friends?
She wants him to hang out with friends? All right. Sure. He can hang out with friends. On Halloween night, the Radio Demon is going to be EVERYONE'S friend. (Spoilers: this is a threat.)
(Also spoilers: people die.)

Gender is a Construct But This Construct is Not Gendered by heavyshadows

Summary
We had (somehow) survived GrayCris. There was just one problem. My humans kept calling me he now.
I didn’t know what to make of this. It made me feel like they weren’t quite seeing me. Like at the beginning of the survey, when I first saved Bharadwaj and they started acting all team-y around me. But from the way they had talked, it was clear they didn’t understand what a SecUnit was. Instead, it was like I was their pet bot. It wasn’t until I blew LeeBeeBee’s head off that they realized they had been trying to befriend a murderbot. They saw me for what I was; a killing machine.
When they said he, I hated it. It made my organics flinch. My performance reliability dropped a percentage each time. And it felt like the pet bot incident all over again; like they weren’t seeing me, but what they wanted to see. I didn’t want to be their pet bot, but I didn’t want to have to act like I was human either. Especially not some human man. Is that how they saw me? Is that what I would have to be now on Preservation?

In which Murderbot struggles with stupid human assumptions about gender, has a heart-to-heart with its favorite human, and submits to the mortifying ordeal of being known.Bookmarked by FoiblePNoteworthy
