Summary
Grace had joked, occasionally, that they were a liquid and I was a solid, two completely different states of matter; it was a joke because it was an exaggeration, an overstatement. In reality, Grace had bones and teeth, and I had blood and steam, but we both enjoyed the pretense that we were more different than we were. It reminded us that our new friendship was something rare, something strange and special. Grace called themself a blob and called me a hunk of granite (a great insult that I was saving to use again on Erid), or they called themself a water balloon and called me a little mountain, or themself a puddle and me a pile of rocks: and they tilted at me, the human mouth tilt they called a smile, and that tilt always made me think again, lovingly, about the enormous odds against us ever having met.
Stone and water, water and stone. That comparison, even as a joke, never failed to ring a bell deep inside of me. Because I would think about erosion, about the long slow beat of water against rock, and I would think about how the rock was always, in the end, consumed.

Bookmarker's Notes
Concentrated essence of a perfect alien-fucker story: (1) makes it vivid to me how alien I am, and (2) the love is alien, too, while still being clearly and satisfyingly love.

The one where Grace Rocky watch Amok Time. Just going to repeat what I told the author in a comment: the constant ongoing task of understanding each other is an act of affection.

The vampire was likely not the first monster in the neighborhood, but his story is the oldest.

Summary
Gurathin loans Murderbot his genitals during a medical emergency. It's...not as bad as it could be.
Noncon warning is for the inherent nature of the trope - these two are being as respectful of each other as they can manage (so, not VERY).

I like it when the Murderbot-Gurathin dynamic is like "I will kill for you, but also if you fall asleep I'll draw a dick on your face."
Hang on, hold this.”
And then that fucker gave me control of his hand.

Summary
My reasoning was that if I had to suffer natural gravity (ugh) and atmosphere (ugh) and large crowds of humans (ugggh) then Gurathin should be required to suffer too. That isn't what I told him, of course. I told him a different truth, which is that Mensah had asked for security. Well, she had asked for me, which is the same thing.
Murderbot and Gurathin at the Preservation arts festival (Network Effect). Inspired by this wonderful artwork by beeayy which you should definitely go look at first

Bookmarker's Notes
Murderbot invites Gurathin to an arts festival strictly for security reasons, and there are arts, and there's a Preservation language module impersonally demonstrating some of the finer points of CR awfulness, an adventure, a rogue drone. Murderbot's ability to feel and identify emotions is so delicately observed. Subtle, moving, rewards rereading.
