Summary
Really, Gurathin was surprised that it took this long. He could have guessed that the Company would come after him eventually.
He had what was theirs after all.
Or, the events of the survey put Gurathin back on the Company's radar, he has a Not Good Time.

Summary
It's been a few years since the first disastrous survey that brought the PresAux group together. Everyone is currently safe and accounted for, which means it's time to get back to survey work. Gurathin arrives planet-side as part of a group doing just that. But being on the surface brings back memories he'd rather forget.

An Hour From the Kitchen Cupboard by noctiphobia

Summary
Dr. Gurathin has quietly come to the conclusion they prefer neutral gender identifiers. Murderbot feels indifferent about this. Still, this change somehow sets them on a path to forming a strong, strangely close bond. They end up talking about gender and feelings and learn a lot about each other. It's all very complicated and weird.
"I’d sat down 32.6 centimeters closer to Gurathin. My body had subconsciously chosen to sit in the middle of the couch, when previously we’d been at the two furthest ends from each other. Worse still, in the moment I somehow hadn’t even registered this change. I ran a full retroactive systems diagnostic, but everything came back operational and untampered. Upon seeing this complete report my performance reliability dropped by 2%. What was happening to me?"

Summary
Port Free Commerce. Set in a vague post-season 1 but before SecUnit meets with the PresAux team again.
Murderbot is stuck in transit and chance meets Gurathin. He follows him in a quest to fix what’s wrong with him and together they visit different parts of the station, some bitter some sweet.
Or the fic where Murderbot gets to dance, and test his (dare we say the word?) friendship with Gura.

Lay Down on the Wire by writingmonsters for Aylwyyn228

Summary
You learn quick in the Corporation Rim – especially if you’re the SecUnit tasked with, you know, doing the securing – that whether it’s proprietary data, equipment, or contract labor, you don’t steal Company assets without major consequences. And, for better or for worse (mostly for worse), Gurathin and I both have the stupid Company name etched into every wire and line of code that makes up our inorganic components.
And Gurathin stole a whole entire me.
So, yeah. This is what you might call "the consequences."

Summary
Whatever wild, crazy power surge took out ART's systems and my inorganics also apparently started a countdown for ART's self destruct sequence. Great.
Couldn't wait to drag my sorry ass to save both of our lives, though I had no idea how, and kick starting a ship like ART would probably kill me. Unless, you know, we blew up first.Bookmarked by Midnight_Reader_read_it_all

Summary
I could maybe appreciate the occasional need for something tactile, considering the spiral I was still recovering from.
SecUnit discovers that touch might actually feel good, sometimes. Under very specific circumstances. With very specific people.

Summary
When Three's pulmonary system is compromised during a mission, Murderbot lets it borrow one of its lungs. Shenanigans ensue.
We were planning to tell ART about the lung situation right after I took a recharge cycle, I promise. But then one thing led to another and before we knew it we were standing at the airlock, ready to be deployed on our next mission.

Summary
Murderbot knows it’s going to die. Before risk assessment blinked out, it calculated a 98%+ probability that it would end up dead here, left behind on this stupid planet.
When that doesn’t happen, it ends up being a lot to process.

Summary
I was such an idiot. I’d let myself relax, thinking that getting to Preservation Alliance had changed things for me. But I’d risked leaving for Dr. Mensah’s conference, and now I’d been kidnapped alongside my least favorite human. Damaged goods, called back to the Corporation Rim for repairs.

Summary
I wrapped my arms around my torso. 90-plus percent of my problems are in my head and I just added terrifying images of Mensah, Gurathin, Ratthi and Pin-Lee being dead because of me in my permanent memory. Delete it, delete it, delete it I was frantically trying to extract that file and trash it into small pieces, make it go away but it was eating me up like a killware.
OR: Murderbot has PTSD after all the shit that happened to it but won’t admit it.
