    Summary

    Azkaban was not merely cold or bleak. It was saturated with emotion: the residue of fear, hatred, despair. The dementors might well have been removed, but their influence remained - some said it will likely last for generations. Hermione remembered her single visit there, years before, for a legal inspection: the air itself felt wrong, heavy, as though grief floated in it like fog. She had lasted forty minutes before her hands began to shake - and it had taken nearly two hours afterwards to steady her breathing.

    She pictured him there. Confined among hundreds whose every breath carried terror and regret - and feeling it all. Not metaphorically, but actually feeling it - as a deafening sound. As physical pain - without pause, without shelter.

    The thought made her stomach clench.

    Summary

    No two days are alike in Hermione Granger’s Ministry. One week she’s throwing off pureblood conspiracies, the next she’s shaping a new Triwizard Tournament, with never a dull moment between. In her shadow are two people: A journalist writing a profile about the Minister, and a certain Death Eater. Totally reformed, of course. Completely declawed. A good boy, now, pinky swear.

    Summary

    It's eight years after the war and Hermione Granger has taken a break from her career at the Ministry of Magic to compile an oral history of the conflict. She's interviewed just about everyone she can get her hands on but she wants to be thorough. And that means getting in contact with a very unwilling Lucius Malfoy.

    - - - - -

    "For your information, I'm not shopping it around yet because I still don’t have access to all of the sources I need.”

    “You’ve got to be joking. You must have interviewed every living person that was even tangentially connected to the war.”

    “Not everyone,” Hermione said, turning in her seat to reach up for the mug of tea she’d left on the kitchen counter.

    “Who’s left? The trolley lady from the Hogwarts Express?”

    “Your father.”

    Malfoy opened his mouth and then closed it again with a click of his teeth, shaking his head. “You don’t want to do that, Granger.”

    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.

    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."

    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...

    Summary

    'Can you know you don’t like something without trying it?' I'd texted Ratthi.
    He responded, 'Sure! But trying things out is always a good idea :D' which I am sure he would not have said if he’d known what I was talking about.

    // Murderbot explores idioms, the ethics of ghosting, and its own sexuality.

    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.

    Summary

    I was barely sobered up when Gurathin reached out over to feed to explain what had happened.

     

    It doesn't have the fat, muscle, organs, or blood volume to handle something like this. It only has neural tissue, blood, and a few glands. What's a normal dose to you, Ratthi, is one hundred doses for it. On top of that, it doesn't have the filtration we do to quickly clear out or decompose a novel organic compound like this on its own.

     

    My gut felt like it fell through the floor. None of this was supposed to happen. SecUnit had been there to keep me safe and I'd endangered it. What can we do for it? Can't the medical center do something?

    They might if it would go to the medical center, but that's not happening. There was enough in his tone to let me know they'd attempted that and failed. Right now it's trapped itself in a corner of the mall. I need to get it out of there before it gets upset. I'm going to see if I can get it back to my quarters. Security has cordoned off the area for now, but if it's still out here when the morning rush comes, we might have a very serious problem on our hands.

     

    Oh no.

    The woman’s gathered us all up. We stand around the Fountain, like Brahmin waiting for the farmer to fetch the knife. The doll with no voice hates me, but she’s preferable to the pompous ghoul or Sterling. Sterling seems to fancy herself the leader of this freak show, because the Old Man says so. No one in this ridiculous crew has objected.

     

    STERLING NICE. STERLING IS SOFT AND TALKS LIKE FRIEND. HAS MASTER’S VOICE WITH HER. SO LUCKY. OTHER VOICE SAYS HE HATES STERLING. OTHER VOICE LYING.
