Summary
The trolls are old enough for Ascension Day, when they would normally either be culled or join the Fleet. This time, though, the Fleet never shows up. Supply shipments start running low before they stop entirely. Alternia is thrown into chaos.
Then the aliens show up.

Summary
I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].
ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.
I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.

Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)

Summary
Perihelion has a secret it keeps buried deep in its memory archives, something it only takes out to appreciate when it's completely alone. It has been content to keep this memory private, but then SecUnit comes home one day covered in dirt and oh fuck, they're going to have to have The Sex Conversation, aren't they. Shit.
TL;DR ART developed some very specific kinks as a young bot when it was undergoing repairs and SecUnit falls face-first into said kinks, much to both of their horror. Featuring HOT technician LAYING DOWN CABLE for GIANT NERD XXX CLICK NOW.
Now featuring chapter 2 aka mb getting all up in ART’s brain and bullying its drones.

Poor ART, it had no idea what it was getting into.

Summary
ART said, more cautiously than I was used to from it, This is more akin to physical touch than what you usually find tolerable.
I knew that, but I didn’t like thinking about it. It was fine.
ART took me at my word for it, and having it squish me became part of the things we did when I was anxious or plagued by stress toxins in my system. Sometimes I asked it to do it even when I was feeling okay. It was a nice feeling. At the time I thought of it as comfortable and relaxing. Without someone physically present touching me, it registered more like the pressure of being underwater, and that just didn’t repulse me like touching skin did.
It’s true that it was relaxing, but the reason I liked it so much was secretly that it felt good. I hadn’t even admitted it to myself at the time, but I kept asking ART to squeeze me, and eventually things escalated.

Summary
Rogue SecUnit maintenance is untread territory. It is much easier to keep a SecUnit functional when it has access to the infrastructure it was built to use. Without access, you must provide your own infrastructure to it.
“You didn't have to do that. I didn't ask for an update,” it grouses.
You're uncertain what it will take for your SecUnit to realize its need for this infrastructure.
In which ART is just trying to take care of Murderbot, and Murderbot is just trying not to overreact (read: panic, have a flashback, dissociate). And they get mad at each other instead of talking about it. That’s the whole fic.
