Summary
SecUnit's job on TranRollinHyfa is rather boring—until it's assigned to watch over Dr. Mensah, who has just been kidnapped by GrayCris after a survey went very wrong.
Being on separate sides doesn't stop Dr. Mensah from treating it like a person, and soon SecUnit finds itself grappling with emotions, free will, and what it means to be someone trying to help.

Summary
When Gurathin sneaks away for a trip to the Corporation Rim that brings him right to the company's doorstep, Murderbot and ART don't hesitate to rush after him. Someone has to drag the idiot back home, after all. In the process Murderbot learns more about Gurathin's past than it ever cared to know—a past that quickly catches up with them, and puts them all in even more danger than anticipated.
Worst of all, Murderbot might find itself in the position where it has to admit that maybe it does like Gurathin. At least a little bit. Not in a weird way.

Summary
"I still don't get what the big deal is," Jon complains once Tim lapses into silence.
"Yeah, yeah," Tim says, turning in the booth to give Jon a lopsided smile. "I know. You're immune to this pesky thing called sexual attraction."
From someone else, this kind of teasing could easily rub Jon the wrong way, but Tim says it with such fondness that he simply snorts and says, "Damn right I am."
Tim throws his head back and laughs, and Jon grins, forgetting for a moment where they are. This kind of banter is familiar, established after years of being first co-workers and then friends in Research, and it's only when Sasha joins the laughter that Jon remembers it's not just the two of them. He freezes. Tim's eyes go wide. Jon wrenches his eyes away from Tim to look at Martin. The only one at the table who doesn't yet know that Jon is asexual.

Or: a story about not quite coming out.

Summary
I didn't mean to get attached to the human who'd fallen through the rift into my reality. But what was a terrifying murderbot supposed to do when that human was hurt, lost, and determined to search the whole universe for his favourite human?
Or: after cutting the tether and sending away the Fears, Jon wakes up Somewhere Else—without Martin by his side. Thankfully, a certain someone refuses to leave him to fend for himself. Really, humans shouldn't do their own security…

Summary
Martin has long been fed up with his family who's still trying to pair him off with a woman. When his cousin's wedding is coming up, Tim has the solution for him: he's going to pretend to be Martin's boyfriend. A foolproof plan, if it weren't for their feelings getting in the way. Feelings for each other—and for Jon.
Meanwhile, Jon is having some kind of emotion about this whole fake dating thing, but it isn’t jealousy. Certainly not. He couldn’t even tell you who he’s jealous of.

Summary
Finally, something dawns on him, a way to handle two goals simultaneously. He’d seen Hollander’s mother flipping through papers rapidly when they first got here, seeming calm and in control and more than a little frightening in a way that made Ilya mildly glad he wasn’t one of the people responsible for a clipboard. If anyone can tell him if the long list of “Prohibited Items” he’d been sent in his email a few days ago is just standard practice for big shoots, it would be Yuna Hollander.
Or, hopefully, her son.
“Crazy we cannot even have peanut butter, eh?” He asks. “You also got giant list?”
Hollander stiffens, almost imperceptibly, and Ilya tilts his head, just slightly, confused, wondering if he’s stumbled somewhere unexpected.
(how ilya learns about shane's allergies) (and shane's sexual awakening tragically hits a speedbump in the process 😔)

Summary
“My boyfriend thinks I’m an idiot,” Ilya says. "Well, not really but a bit, maybe.”
“Your boyfriend?” Sandra, the queer studies professor sits down, hard.
“Yes, he thinks it is not smart to say faggot in the locker room when you are locked in the closet and Russia has the keys.”
Ilya had been talking about himself when he’d said it. Making a joke. Sailing a little close to the wind, sick of listening to the background hum of homophobic bullshit. But someone had been filming. The video went viral. The Raiders panicked under the terrible PR. Now he was here.
Sent to Queer Studies 101 to appease twitter. Because he’d been cancelled. For being a homophobe. If was fucking ridiculous.
He turns to the professor. “So, can you help me take on Putin and NHL at same time or I need more advanced class for this?”
Plus Chapter 2 – Social media chapter. Once they've been outed, Ilya gets to demand an apology from twitter.

Summary
“I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”
“Yes.”
The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.
“Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”
Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”
* * *
or, Ilya stays in Boston, gets a rookie, and tries to figure out how to make a secret long distance relationship work while there's a Russian teenager in his house
