Mensah and SecUnit weren’t the only people in the room with him; there was Ratthi, Pin-Lee, Arada, Overse and… himself? Gurathin sta
Heat/Stroke
by Rosewind2007
Murderbot and Gurathin are stuck on a planet, lost in a desert: their hopper downed by a sand storm…It’s very hot.

We were 'playing' again.I don't really know why Gurathin called it that, except I guess it covered a range of sex and not-sex activities. I liked that ambiguity. Sometimes I changed my mind halfway through.Gurathin had never made a 'thing' of it.I liked that. Sequel to Control

Fanart: Ill-Advised Murderathin Doodles
by verilyvexed
A catch-all for random doodles. Some of these are WIPs that may be finished soon! Thank you to the unhinged Discord servers. You know who you are.
It’s Panto Time!
by Rosewind2007
Discussing something else altogether in the New Tideland Discord (how chimpanzee ‘smiles’ are fear or threat displays) led to a discussion of how if we growled or hissed at people who annoy us it’d be a satisfyingly clear form of communication… Which obviously led to me deciding SecUnit would love t
Sand Rust
by Voyager_DenAce
In this barren wasteland, golden from erosion and devoid of life, there’s no real way to hide from the ever-present sun, which hangs in the sky like an all-seeing deity.

Fine. Be that way, asshole.
[Podfic] Reclaimed My Pound of Flesh
by sisi_rambles
“I... like this.”SecUnit sounds guarded, and Gurathin smiles.
[Podfic] A Rose By Any Other Name
by sisi_rambles
He doesn’t look like Gurathin in that first nanosecond of processing; he looks more like a character in my media—one of the sappy serials I let Ratthi convince me was almost as good as The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon (it wasn’t.)
[Podfic] Socially, We Have Four Left Feet
by sisi_rambles
“Embarrassing? Perhaps. But give Seccy a little more credit than that! At worst, it’ll totally ignore you and then pretend it never happened.”“That isn’t better, Ratthi.”
[Podfic] I've Done This Dance Before
by sisi_rambles
Unrequited is a well-worn coat fit perfectly to Gurathin’s measurements.
[Podfic] Walked Right Into This One
by sisi_rambles
“Letting me stand is not letting me try, SecUnit.”“And collapsing immediately is not indicative of being able to walk, Dr. Gurathin.”
