Summary
“Sounds like astrology for maths majors.”
“Maths doctorates,” says Q, which is an interesting revelation, if only to imagine him in a classroom with a stick of chalk and a blackboard, tracing some A Beautiful Mind-style formulae for a crowd of perplexed undergrads. Perhaps these days it’s all on screens, though. “Obviously, the idea of prophecy via hidden numerical interpretation is bunk. But there are some extremely interesting ancient applications in the works of Greek philosophers, and even some early Bible scholars.”
In the darkness Bond closes his eyes, and considers the preferable option: silence, or Q’s esoteric dissertation.
“Tell me more,” he says.

Summary
Gurathin missed his chance to make his apology on Port FreeCommerce. He’s not going to make that mistake again, even if he has to do it in the middle of a hostage negotiation.
Of course, Murderbot would rather he shut the fuck up and preferably never speak again.

Summary
A series of works exploring Pin-Lee's
friendshiprelationshipmutual administrative assistancewith Dr. Gurathin. Working together, socializing, mutual goading, all those kinds of things.Starts from their first meeting in Preservation and goes until... well, we'll see.
Title is a reference to chapter 3 of "Indelible". And it's not that kind of hopeless. No actual whump here. But never forget that the Corporation Rim is terrible.
(I am removing my note about number of works planned because the number just. Keeps. Growing!)
Timeline ranging from 6 years pre-canon until All Systems Red/Season 1 of the show for certain.
I have also started writing alternate points of view / missing scenes for these works! You can find them in Just in Case or else use Case by Case for recommended reading order.

Summary
Looking at things from (my take on) Gurathin's perspective. Pre-canon, during canon, way off-screen during canon, potentially even post-canon. It's all fair game.
He is a cranky wet cat of a human who desperately needs a hug and will be going through it.
There's some fluff, too.
