Accident Prone: Becoming Human

by WayWardWonderer

As Connor struggles to comprehend his newly found emotions he learns what it means to be human as Hank guides him along his journey of self-discovery as his deviancy evolves him into something more than a machine. Connor is far from indestructible and his impulsive, selfless nature to accomplish his mission will be the death of him... or Hank! How many different ways can one android injure himself, get sick or worry his partner into an early grave as he learns what it means to be a deviant, to be free and to be alive?  (*100,000+ Views and 3,500+ Kudos!!! Thank you so very, very much!!)

they'll never pull the trigger

by i_have_loved_the_stars_too_fondly

Murderbot is affected by potentially deadly malware on Preservation Station. Gurathin thinks quickly. Murderbot, afterwards, tells him what it thinks of the measures he took to stop it.(I'm not sure how to describe this fic, but it follows my favorite formula: Murderbot gets malware that almost makes it kill someone, it is stopped just in time, and then it has some Emotions about it.)

Repair

by CatiDono

Supposedly he'd worked here for a long time. Supposedly he and Jay were partners. Supposedly, they'd been as close to friends as an android and human could get. But GV200 didn't know any of that now. All he knew was that he wasn't what Jay wanted, and he had no idea what to do about it.[Part 2, highly recommend reading part 1 first]

Disposable

by garvet

Good and kind kids that they were, my clients wanted their ComfortUnit back. They thought that it was not all dead spare parts yet, but believed it ‘served’ at the mining site. All I had to do was to find out the fate of the Unit (easy) and, if possible, retrieve it (not so easy) and return it to the corporate kids (in their dreams). I checked out their story before I agreed to sign the contract for this job. It seemed quite legit.

what did i do

by i_have_loved_the_stars_too_fondly

Murderbot gets a bad packet containing malware that tells it to kill Mensah. It shuts itself down and wakes up with the malware cleared, but not knowing whether it stopped itself in time. A note: If you’re worried about where this is going to go, please note that it is not tagged with Major Character Death.

Approval

by Camellianswer

Never when he aced the simulations. Never when he displayed his skill in physical combat. Never when he executed a daring move that would have made Red applaud. X never acknowledged any of these.But this…for the first time, Axl saw approval in X’s eyes.It confused him.It delighted him.

not a curse or a

by who_what_when_where

Murderbot does not like to touch humans. They're sweaty and smelly and uncomfortable, and worse than all of that, there's always some voice whispering at the back of its head about what they might do, if you let them get that close.So it isn't sure how to respond to the sudden inexplicable need to touch that has cropped up seemingly out of nowhere.

i thought id lost

by i_have_loved_the_stars_too_fondly

It was one thing to know ART could hack me whenever it wanted to. It was another to feel what it meant to be under its complete control.  A snip from an abandoned story. In order to protect MB from malware, ART is forced to break through its defenses and lock it down. They reconcile afterwards.Previously shared in the Fic Amnesty thread on discord.
