Summary
Quinn, a SQ800 model who has left the army, goes to New Jericho for help and to try to help others.
This fic was inspired in part by "A Good Home", a short story by Karin Lowachee, which I read in the collection More Human Than Human edited by Neil Clarke.

Summary
For three months, things seemed to be improving. The end of the revolution had brought about the declaration that androids were living beings--a new intelligent species, as President Warren had put it--and the team at Jericho had been pulled into the world of politics, fighting for the rights of their people through words and appeals to people who couldn’t possibly understand what they’d been through. But they had listened, somehow, and promised changes, and slowly things began to turn. As a whole, androids had hope for their eventual place in society.
And then, in two days, everything stopped.
With deviancy now considered a malfunction once again, deviant androids are either destroyed or, if they're worth it, repaired. Connor, being CyberLife's most advanced and expensive prototype, is in the latter group, and is sent back to the DPD as an example of CyberLife's success in ending deviancy once and for all. Only the reset didn't work quite as well as CyberLife intended, and Connor's life--and those of the other androids that have survived--depends on how well he can keep up the act of being the Deviant Hunter once again.

Summary
"My name is Kara."
Fleeing to the streets after her previous owner died, an AX400 stumbles upon a refuge for androids who felt they were more than what they were designed to be. She's the one who will set them free, but hopefully she can live up to that title.
"My name is Connor."
Desperate to save the only light in his life, an RK800 breaks free from the coded shackles deep within his systems, willing to give his life for the human child he had grown to love. The two of them just wanted to be free, and become a family, together.
"My name is Markus."
No sympathy. No emotions. No bullshit. He was designed to accomplish a task, and that's exactly what the RK200 was going to do. Even if it meant betraying his own people. But as time goes on, he wonders; was he fighting for the wrong side all along?

Summary
- Connor is glad to be Deviant, he just wishes he could make sense of it.
Connor unofficially moves in with Hank Post-revolution, trying to work out how to just 'be' now Cyberlife is gone. Then the 'malfunction' starts, and he wakes from every bout of stasis with his Thirium pump pounding against his chest and cleaning fluid on his cheeks. His memories won't leave him alone.
But there's nothing to worry about. It's just a minor malfunction, an issue with his stasis cycle.
He can handle it.
He can."It…unsettled Connor, just a little - not just the absence of any direction, but also that he was bothered by it. He liked being there; he’d placed it at the top of his Good list – before even Sumo (and Connor didn’t do that lightly, had in fact spent several minutes switching the order around and back again)."
