Summary
Connor is different than any of the other patients. He knows them better now: knows that he's not the only one that's dangerous...
But he's the only one who is still in danger. He was supposed to get somewhere safe. He was supposed to be able to leave Detroit. He was not supposed to be trapped in this unit for the insane.
Maybe he belongs there, maybe he is insane, but he can't risk staying. Not when they know where he is. Not when they're coming for him.

Summary
After a fatal crash, Detective Gavin Reed wakes up in a body that isn’t his.
Rebuilt as an android by a brother he’d spent most of his life avoiding, Gavin is left with more questions than answers. He’s not dead, but he sure as hell isn’t the same—and figuring out what that means might be harder than dying in the first place.
Between a partner who won’t leave his side and a case that cuts deeper than expected, Gavin is forced to confront everything he thought he knew—about identity, loss, and what it means to still be here.

Summary
Po udanej pokojowej rewolucji androidów, Detroit wstępuję w świeży rozdział swojej historii, a dzięki staraniom Jerycha i ludzi dobrej woli, staje się pierwszym miastem uchwalającym prawa androidów.
Connor — niegdyś słynny łowca defektów, teraz pełnoprawny członek Jerycha i cenny towarzysz Markusa — stara się odnaleźć swoje miejsce w nowej rzeczywistości. Życie z Hankiem, praca ramię w ramię z przyjaciółmi o prawa androidów i pozornie trwający pokój nie są w stanie uciszyć męczących go wyrzutów sumienia spowodowanych jego przeszłością. Z pomocą Andersona i towarzyszy z Jerycha próbuje wymazać swoje dawne błędy i zacząć wszystko od początku, jednakże coś niewidocznego, lecz wyczuwalnego czai się tuż obok... A gdzieś głębiej, w samym sercu miasta, wciąż drzemie inne niebezpieczeństwo — to, które zakorzeniło się w Detroit na długo przed rewolucją.
Czy nowy początek, jaki nakreśliły miastu androidy, będzie w stanie to zmienić?

Summary
"You know, for a million-dollar android, you sure don't know how to read instructions. No androids are allowed in here," I tell him, jerking my head towards the sign on the door.
"Neither are dogs, Detective," he— it— reasons.

What is the best course of action when Connor can't figure out the cause of deviancy quick enough? Spitting out another android with more emotional constipation than the first one (and sarcasm to match). Gavin Reed is forced to work with said android after he shows up and saves him during a chase. Now the only thing he can do to escape their partnership is to be as rude as possible to the son of a gun and hope he gives up soon.

Summary
Following the Android revolution, Gavin’s worldview has been practically turned upside down. Androids are recognized as ‘people’ now, and Fowler’s been on his ass about his attitude more than usual. Oh, and not to mention a serial killer is running rampant, stealing biocomponents and killing anyone who gets in his way.
And who does he have to work with to catch this son of a bitch? The android sent by fucking Cyberlife.
So yeah, you could say Gavin’s having a pretty shit week.

Summary
In the aftermath of a peaceful revolution, Detective Gavin Reed has to adjust when it comes to his work relations. The assholish version of Anderson's android gets assigned as his new partner. Not only that, but an assholish android who deems it necessary to not only question Gavin's professionalism but also invades his personal life. Ironically, the deviant may have a better grasp of living than Gavin Reed does.
What is there to say when you realize the machines you mistreated are no more a monster than you are?
------------------------------------
The RK900 thought this would be a simple task. Prove his invaluableness to the precinct, solve cases, and move up as quickly as possible. Annoying his partner was just a treat on top of an already perfect plan. But Gavin Reed may be the one mystery Nines can't solve. Especially when it turns out that the detective and the android may have more in common than he initially thought.
What do you do when your partner turns out to be something more than human or android altogether?

Summary
Reed looks RK900 up and down, barely masked disdain in his gaze. “Who’s this?”
“This is RK900. Starting today, he’ll be acting as your partner.”
“Oh, noooooo fucking way.” Reed stands quickly and shoves a pointed finger into his superior’s face. “I’m not working with a fuckin’ toaster.” His finger shifts its aim towards RK900. “Especially not that one.”or
After the end of the Revolution and the successful establishment of New Jericho, RK900 has lost his only purpose yet again. When directed to find a new one, he settles on journalism - the only other pursuit he thinks worth his time.
However, the public, and a certain Gavin Reed - a once-respected journalist, are finding it... difficult... to accept the tides of change.
It is now RK900's objective to fix that. -

Summary
"Who the fuck are you!? What do you know!?" Gavin's head was spinning. His gun was trained on the man. The likeness he had to Connor was uncanny. He could hear sirens approaching. An elbow met his chest, and he gasped, falling to the ground.
The man was facing Connor now. "No." Connor whispered. His eyes were wide, he was struggling to breathe. "I was the last of my line."
The man laughed, harsh and terrifying. "Oh, deviants," He started, "Always so naive. How could you forget that?" Gavin inched forward silently. He could nearly strike the man.
"Why are you doing this?" Connor screamed at the man. "Why are you killing innocent people?"
"Why do you think, Detective?" He snarled, the word laced with contempt. "I killed because I knew you'd come right to me."

Summary

And not only that, but the chaotic private investigator & spiritual adviser Avery Fox stumbles into his crime scene, and now they have to work together, and he has to do his best trying to avoid catching feelings for her.
"You’re not a burden for needing support"
One year after Avery’s first day in the precinct, the duo has to work a case that stirs up Avery’s traumatic past. Two women were drowned. Is there a serial killer at work? Can Avery admit to catching feelings not just for her grumpy detective colleague but also for her Android one? Why is Reed trying to hide his past from her?
"I am not failing another person I swore to protect.“
or
lots of rain, even more banter & your favorite trope slow (!!!) burn. This story is about trauma, how it changes us, and how we can learn to adapt to a life after. Oh, and there are paranormal elements.

Summary
Connor knew he wasn’t particularly good at things. He failed Amanda, failed Markus…and now he was failing at deviancy as well. Perhaps he was better off being a machine. Even Hank was bound to become fed up of him at some point. He expected it, but he hadn’t anticipated the pain that would accompany it. He supposed he deserved it.
His voice became louder, harsher, colder with every word. The more he spoke the more disoriented he got, and the more lost in memories of Cole- crash, hospital, androids, death- he became. Androids. androids causing problems in his life. Always ruining anything good he could possibly have in his life. How could he have forgotten? Looking at Connor now, seeing the yellow-red light spinning on his temple, he didn’t know how he ever saw a person in someone so obviously…synthetic. Mechanical. Always sat with an unnaturally straight posture, speaking like an awkward fucking thesaurus, never understanding jokes, expression never changing except for an uncomfortable, wonky smile that didn’t suit his face at all.
————
A very self-indulgent fic following Connor navigate through his deviancy as he experiences family, friends, betrayal, hurt, and what it’s like to be alive.
