OK, so ART does not like SecUnit 3.
sorry for belating it, been on edge with drawing lately *trips* @perihelion-of-the-night
Thinking about Murderbot, Three and Peri enacting dom/sub roleplay stuff. With Peri playing HubSys and Murderbot and Three being the SecUnits.
Peri sees this as kinky roleplaying, Murderbot insists that it is practice so that it doesn’t forget how to interact with HubSystems and Three doesn’t think about what this might be, it just likes it.
Peri loves bossing the SecUnits around and demanding they listen to it. It takes care of them but they need to actually do what it says. It’s very satisfying for Peri.
Murderbot complains that HubSys wouldn’t want to „take care“ of its units. Murderbot doesn’t necessarily enjoys the part of being bossed around as such, but it loves arguing and being bratty and difficult about being told what to do. (That also isn’t how any SecUnit would get to behave, so it’s being hypocritical when it criticizes ART for being an inaccurate HubSys).
Three enjoys the pretend HubSys that is so much nicer than an actual HubSys. And it loves having a partnered unit again, both working in sync, orchestrated by a HubSys.
what if i just punched a hole in a wall
So William is maybe possibly actually Mulder's is what the book ultimately says? I dig it.
Finished Perihelion and I quite enjoyed it. Definitely need to be versed on the X Files lore to understand it. The whole arc of Scully having electricity powers (and people gaining powers due to the alien virus changing dna) isn't my favorite. It doesn't add anything to Scully as a character and just adds more unnecessary things into the X Files universe.
I love the ending, Mulder and Scully sitting in their daughter's nursery. I would love more books about them post revival but this felt like a good ending for them.
“You recklessly did experimental surgery on a… person who had no other choice,” Seth translated. Untrue. It had the choice of being recaptured and stripped for parts. “I rest my case,” Seth sighed.
Seth is not comfortable with Perihelion making surgical changes to SecUnit (chp. 1)
Following Protocol by Astral_Insanity (AO3) The Murderbot Diaries – General – Martyn/Seth, ART/Murderbot #Fluff #Fluff and Humor #ART and MB are friends and lovers AND a secret third thing #Seth thinks ART's feelings of rapport are unrequited #Little does he know their administrative assistance is MUTUAL #Seth POV #wyd when your spaceship brings home a corporate death machine #and makes big sad eyes at you #Iris is a nosy but supportive older sister #who likes watching ART get in trouble #as siblings do #Seth doesn't get enough credit for having dealt with ART and Iris for so long #ART BABY PICTURES NOT CLICKBAIT (kinda)
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
«Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad-»
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.
Holy shit y'all! I realized I forgot to post this when I started it but I can't believe I have this many hits and kudos on this one. Anyway thanks to everyone who's read it, commented and kudo'd. This fandom is crazy supportive and I appreciate it :)

We know that MB is uninterested in the sex part of „this type of“ relationships, but maybe it would be more into the kink part.
I can see MB liking to take control and also giving up control. It would initially see this as a game it wants to win of course.
Consider this:
Mensah and MB: MB being a little turned on by Mensah not being at all scared of it and taking charge. (See: the scene in exit strategy when she grabs it to lecture it, and the times in fugitive telemetry when MB mentions Mensah‘s stern eyebrow glare.)
MB experimenting with ART about taking partial control over each other’s systems
Three and MB exploring SecUnits/SecUnit relationships. Three lets itself be bossed around by MB maybe (because MB the primary unit, no other reason of course) and they both like it more than expected.
