#2024MurderbotNYGE

[teamage]

I completely forgot to post it here back then, but here's a piece I did for @voidlingremnata as part of 2024 Murderbot Diaries New Year Gift Exchange @mbd-gift-exchange (very nice! very fun! will take part again hopefully).

She requested Supervisor Leonide interacting with a SecUnit, so here's an awkward reunion between Leonide and Three. I used Voidling's comic Three design (probably the cutest Three design I've seen).

2024 Murderbot Diaries New Year Gift Exchange

To celebrate Murderbot, we are hosting a fandom gift exchange! This is our third annual Murderbot New Year Gift Exchange! (Prior years' collections are here)

All sorts of fanworks are welcome: fanfic, fanart, playlists, etc. The event will be open to anyone who wants to participate, so long as they have a discord account that they will communicate with the event organizers through.

Timeline:

Sign ups: Nov 10 - Dec 10, 2023 Assignments: Dec 15, 2023 Gifts Due: Jan 20, 2024 Pinch Hitter Period: Jan 20, 2024 - January 31, 2024 AO3 Collection Closes: Midnight January 31, 2024 UTC Reveals: Midnight February 1, 2024 UTC

Main rules:

Keep the gift a secret from your giftee until midnight Feb 1, 2024 UTC. It's a surprise!

Please abide by "Do Not Wants" requested by your giftee. (Eg: if your giftee asks for no apples, please do not make a gift for them that involves apples.)

The event organizers will check in with you via discord direct messages as the deadline approaches. If you fail to respond to check-ins three times in a row, you will be presumed as not being able to complete your gift, and your gift will be reassigned to a pinch hitter.

Submitting your gift through the AO3 Collection is optional. But if you want your gift to be included in the collection, you will need to post it there by Midnight January 31, 2024 UTC, before the collection closes to submissions. (Make sure to check this time in your local timezone. It might be earlier than you think, especially if you're in the USA!)

Have fun!

If you have questions, feel free to inquire at our ask box.

Signups are open now through this form!

(Perhaps you want to wait to write in your prompts until after you've read System Collapse, which is coming out in less than a week! Just note that event sign ups may close early if we reach a max participation the organizers can handle. )

After the events of System Collapse, Three takes stock of its options, tries to understand its feelings, and sorts out what its relationships with the crew, the colonists, Holism, Perihelion, and Murderbot 1.0 even are. They all seem to know who they are, what they want, and where they belong. Three does... not. Not anymore. It's trying to figure that out.

Happy new year! This is my Murderbot New Years Exchange gift for @imaginariumgeographica. Every single one of your prompts was Fascinating (and I might have another fic about PresAux down the line inspired by your other prompts that I didn't get a chance to finish), but you gave me an excuse and encouragement to think about Three - what Three was doing during and after System Collapse, what it would choose to do now, and what its relationship with Holism might look like. It was great getting inside Three's head and just, wondering what it's feeling about all this, and what it will want to do now.

Thank you to the @mbd-gift-exchange organizers for another fantastic year!

I just read this and it's a stellar outsider perspective of System Collapse as captured through Supervisor Leonide's POV. The prose is elegant and lovely to read. Lenoide's perspectives on SecUnits, rogueness, pseudo-rogueness is something I want to dissect for the next 5 continuous hours. And the last paragraph of chapter 1 left me absolutely vibrating in the subtle little implication it left behind. Agh it's so good!

Compliments to the author.

Edit: oh my god there's a chapter 2 and it hit me like a brick.

Figured I should finally post this on Tumblr, seeing as we’re about to have the next New Year’s gift exchange. Haha. Image description under the cut.

A traditional alcohol marker illustration of Secunit Three with an opened skull. It's organic and digital brain is visible and being prodded with sci-fi tools. The image has stark red lighting and muted colors. The expression on Three’s face is pained.
