Measured Words

I wrote way more for Yuletide than I expected to this year. I've been so busy, and one story, started late, seemed like plenty. But I still finished my main assignment (Murderbot) early and picked up an early pinch hit (Raksuras) from the mod list. And then I saw a couple of PHs go by for a book I hadn't read in years (City of Bones), tried for one, missed, and decided to write a treat anyway. And then I realized I'd written 3/4 nominated Martha Wells canons and decided I may as well go for broke, and write another full length treat, as well as a drabble for the last (Death of the Necromancer). The drabble was partly because I'd had a hard time deciding which of the two people who'd requested it (other than me) to write for, and *also* it felt weird not to write any yuletide drabbles. And since all my gifts were Murderbot, it made for a very Martha Wells-y yuletide! I'm not complaining, though, I love her stuff and there is a lot of good fic out there for it.

Murderbot has a job that's pretty sweet. It lets them consume all the media they want, and they're not supposed to look at people. So of course everything goes wrong.

Murderbot can handle other SecUnits, but will Sanctuary Moon ever be the same again?
