Summary
Distantly, Gurathin remembered the union snipers on the upper floors, the drone clouds they'd all coded in case of emergency. The dull ache of his body, sharper on the side of his head, was fighting the painkillers he'd gotten loaded on beforehand. His feed was a panorama of warnings and the empty boxes of blocked ads.
He was cannon fodder with no actual conviction, an indentured systems engineer with expensive augments. The SecUnit advancing over his sprawled shape hadn't come for him - Not really.

Straight- up Vampire/Secunit porn, including pretty art of said porn. And Murderbot has an orgasm without a hardwire hookup?? 🤯 I now understand why the Murderathin community on Tumblr was absolutely going insane over this fic.

Perihelion, Gurathin, and Murderbot precariously negotiate a “threesome” (not as dirty as it sounds), with Ratthi acting as ref. I was flailing my arms the entire time I was reading this. I am a tornado of emotions.

Summary
Murderbot is returning to Preservation Station after a mission with ART. It probably involved espionage, and canon typical violence, and lots of unrealistic media. Meanwhile Ratthi is concerned.

Ratthi correctly predicts Murderbot crashing out upon discovering Three and Gurathin acting all chummy. Mainly I just love that Ratthi and Secunit are a little anxious for Gurathin’s attention.

ART helps Murderbot process the confusing reality that someone is in love with it, and that Murderbot is loved precisely for its unique, asshole self. In other words, we all need a wise, beautiful mutual admin assistant like ART.

Inspired by Down the Rabbit Hole by Gamebird. I love it when Murderbot fanfic writers collaborate. In this fic, the roles are reversed, and it turns out Murderbot is the one who's really into life-saving kissing.

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic spins TV Gurathin's addiction backstory into a poignant source of connection between him and Murderbot- in other words, Gurathin doesn't want to live without Murderbot's presence in his augments (can you blame him?) And Murderbot doesn't hate it either (surprise, suprise!) Brain intimacy is my favorite trope, yessireee!

Summary
Dr. Gurathin is a company technician who works alone on the SecUnits who have problems a cubicle can't fix. It gives him a lot of time to fuck around with them, and this time, to find out. Although perhaps not in that order.

Bookmarker's Notes
Murderbot will do almost anything for more media. A morally grey Gurathin takes advantage of that, but catches feels (and some ethics?) in the process. Characters are a tad OOC, but obvs this AU was written precisely for Murderathin shippers, and I’m 100% here for the ride. I alternatively call this fic, “The Gooner Gurathin AU”

The premise put me off a bit, because the whole Preservation team dying except Gurathin is not something I want to imagine. But it’s well-worth the read, despite the sadness. Very poignant, thoughtful fic.

Summary
Murderbot returns to Preservation Station for a visit with its humans. It's expecting to have a nice, relaxing time watching media and catching up. It doesn't expect to be living opposite Gurathin of all people. It doesn't want to spend more time with that asshole. It knows exactly where their situationship stands and absolutely nothing needs to change. Unless...

A fic in which Murderbot is a petty, domineering asshole, and Gurathin is a hot mess that is happy to be domineered. Lucky for Gura, Murderbot is just as affected 🤣

Summary
Ratthi persuades Murderbot and Gurathin to go on a survey trip to a planet with the ominous nickname of Spider Planet. Soon, troubles with corporates and the local fauna mean that SecUnit is earning its currency cards, but nothing SecUnit can't handle - until it can't.
"I’d like to say that at least things couldn’t get any worse, but whenever someone says that in the media things inevitably do get worse and that seems to be one of the things media actually gets right. Oh right. I just remembered how this gets worse: the only person who could help me was Gurathin."

In the process of reading... so far, so good! And a little spider horror is perfect for the unholy month of October. UPDATE: holy shit, I think I found my new favorite Murderathin fic author.

Summary
Vellum Systems rewards structure, obedience, and loyalty—especially when no one’s watching. But someone is always watching. And Dedra Meero has started to notice.
A slow-burn modern thriller of quiet obsession, subtle control, and the blurred line between attention and intrusion.

Over the feed, Gurathin asked it, Is something wrong?
It said, No. Then, Define ‘wrong.’ Then, These adolescent humans are well over the Preservation standard recommended limit of intoxication for their ages and body compositions.
***
Some of the teenagers at the Mensah family farm ask Gurathin to chaperone them down to the lake. Obviously SecUnit needs to find out what they're up to.
