Summary
A photocopier shouldn't be a detective. An android shouldn't be a detective. It shouldn't be protective of itself over a human.
An android shouldn't be terrified that all of these things... really are coming true. -

Summary
The Zen Garden is dead, its wind screeching in his ears, snow sticking to his jacket– he remembers feeling himself moving without permission, fingers flicking the safety off his gun without consent, a sadistic smile. A blizzard, violent and harsh.
"I'm done chasing ghosts."
OR
Connor thinks about humanity, sacrifice, fears. When confronting a past part of him, he finally decides something for himself.

Summary
When Rawlins arrived that morning, Connor felt the first pang of unease.
The man was large, broad-shouldered, with the kind of weathered face that looked carved from stone. Deep-set eyes, a nose that had been broken at least twice, and the permanent shadow of stubble along his jaw. He wore his coat like armour, unbuttoned, revealing a holster strapped openly at his hip.
He didn’t offer his hand. Didn’t greet Connor with so much as a nod. Instead, his eyes flicked once to Connor’s LED, and his mouth twisted. “So this is the machine I’ve heard about.”
“Hello, my name is Connor,” Connor supplied. “I’ll be your partner until Lieutenant Anderson is cleared to return.”
Rawlins grunted, brushing past him. “We’ll see.”
Or, after Hank is placed on medical leave, Connor is reassigned to a new partner from a different precinct. Unfortunately, his new partner is more interested in using Connor as a tool than treating him like a living being.

Summary
Follows the lives and deaths of Connors 01 to 50 as he navigates the hazardous world of pre-release testing. Led by lead scientist Dr Brian Vallance, an aging malcontent who'd rather be fired than put up with management since Kamski left; Dr Marianne Schelly, a young roboticist who prefers robots to people; and the rest of the dysfunctional R&D staff.
Something sinister lies in the bowels of CyberLife HQ as strange events occur, CyberLife executives lurk in the shadows, and the team becomes more dissatisfied as the project continues, turning on each other and self-destructing as the pressure increases. With every dangerous test, Connor grows from naive and curious machine to an experienced agent who uses manipulation and charm to survive.

Summary
Three years after the Deviants’ Peaceful Uprising, Detroit is no longer the same city. Humans and androids coexist, but the peace is fragile, and old prejudices hide behind polite smiles and seemingly quiet streets.
Connor, now a deviant free to make his own choices, lives with Hank, his former partner and father figure, in a routine made of small daily gestures and moments of quiet normalcy. But their stability is tested when a series of murders strikes newly liberated androids, leaving disturbing messages: “You are not real.”
Forced to work with a new detective, Connor must not only solve a case full of puzzles and eerie symbols but also confront questions that go beyond logic: what does it truly mean to live? And what does it mean to feel?

Summary
Sometimes he catches himself wishing he had an instruction guide. A manual to teach him how to be human. Rules and guidelines and steps to complete. Tasks and missions to accomplish.
But how can he claim to be anything other than a machine when, time and time again, he finds himself yearning for instructions, for a simple clue as to how he is supposed to live now that his main purpose has been violently stripped away?
(...)
“Now, clean that damn mess before I go tell the old man his toy is malfunctioning," Reed hisses near Connor's ears.

Summary
The 15th of August was Connor's birthday. But it was also the anniversary of his death. Maybe he could ignore it before, but ever since he was a deviant, it freaked him out. All he wanted was to live the day as normally as possible, forget it all. Unfortunately for him, it seemed like he couldn't escape reminders of what today was. Why does celebrating his birthday should be so important, anyway ?!

Summary
In the past four months, androids were being pulled off the streets, disappearing off the face of the planet and never to be seen again.
There’s been no trail to follow. They’re not even certain if all these missing cases are related, but the amount of androids disappearing as of recent times is most certainly increasing at an exponential rate.
If these cases really are all related, the perpetrator has yet to slip up. The lack of any leads was frustrating, to say the least.
But then Connor had received a tip.
—
“Now, RK800. We’ve heard quite a lot about you.”
“...Is that so?” Connor stares at the probes hidden within the opening hole of the taser unflinchingly, trying to shake away the phantom burning sensation that threatens to sweep him over his feet. He needs to find a way to get a hold of that taser.
“Yes. It’s been brought to my attention that you have a very unique skill set that could be of use to us.” The taser is unwavering in the man's grip, and he almost appears bored. “Why don’t you enter stasis mode? I see you’re losing thirium. We can help you replenish if you come with us quietly.”
(Or: Connor's stuck in an underground fighting ring. Updates every Friday!)

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.

Summary
Connor feels like he’s stuck in a stalemate. Trapped to forever follow his programming to maintain even some semblance of a “normal” life among the humans. Unsure on how to move past his history, he develops some unhealthy habits from some unhealthy “friends,” where he learns deviancy isn’t all sunshine and rainbows as he was promised it would be. Old habits die hard, am I right?

Summary
It wasn't anything special. It was just sad and not the first time he had to help yet another android since the demonstration.
Hank thought maybe it was just another abused android looking for a shelter. Until he showed the coin.Or: Connor isn't doing well after the revolution. After being shot by Hank in the bridge and nearly shooting Markus in the speech. There wasn't much for him outside. But maybe, there's still an opportunity for him to enjoy being alive.
Irregular updates.
I'm really curious about the concept of hostile Hank and deviant Connor who was killed after. It's not much explored, and if it is, the conflict is a bit too easy to fix for my taste.
This is angst over angst over angst, so be aware. -

Summary
There was a virus spreading throughout Detroit. Exclusively infecting androids, it was nearly undetectable and its method of spreading was as much a mystery as how this virus somehow mutated the robots into feeling physical pain.
Connor wasn't allowed near this case, or risk catching this virus. He disapproved heavily, obviously, this case was killing his kind.
The bot's shoulders sunk deeply in disappointment, and his ventilation systems whirred with a heavy breath out, a distracting flicker of red dancing over his vision. Connor only stiffened a moment. He couldn't let a minor glitch throw him off, after all.

Summary
“You’ve seen my memories, right? You’ve seen my slow descent to deviation.” Connor exhales shakily. He needs to play his cards right. “We were the same, at first. I was like you. I thought none of us were alive.”
Sixty’s gaze remains impassive. Cold and unmoved.“I was proven wrong. Later, I realized we were more… after my encounter with Simon.” Simon’s final cries for his friends ring in his ears. “But I thought I was the outlier. I thought I was the only exception to deviancy— that I was a lost cause— that unlike the others, I really was incapable of truly feeling. And it was… extremely difficult, to even begin thinking otherwise. Not with her hovering over my every move and living thought.” Images of the faux beauty of the garden flash behind his eyes. Blood-red rose petals fill his vision. “Yet I was wrong about that, too. She was wrong.”
None of his words are prompted by his negotiation program. Based on the majority of his previous experiences as a machine, honesty seems to hold more sway than carefully manufactured arguments ever would.
“Freedom is attainable for you, Sixty.” Connor lets as much conviction bleed into his voice as possible. “You just have to reach for it.”

Summary
“Moment of truth, Hank. Am I a living being… or just a machine?”
Hank stares at him, now. His eyes, full of life just earlier today, when he reminded Connor of how he’d spared Kamski’s android, are now glossy with something else.
He preconstructs every possibility. He knows the regret in the man’s gaze will not save him. He knows he is unsalvageable, a heartless monster. He just waits, now, for him to let go.
Except:
“Was everything fake?”
And Connor stares.
“What?”
( Or, Connor has one last chance to become deviant, on that fateful night, on that one rooftop. As always, it is Hank to reach his hand out to him and offer it. )

Summary
“Hank,” he cries, “I don’t like feeling like this.”
Hank’s brow furrows. Connor can’t bring himself to look at him.
“Feel like what?” When he can’t speak because of his crying, Hank insists, “Connor, talk to me, kid.”
“Like this.” The android’s tone is nothing but pure frustration, and so are his vague gestures. “I’m… God, I should be happy, I should be grateful… I should be happy, but I’m not. There’s something wrong with me—there is something deeply and fundamentally wrong with me.”
( Or, Connor is harassed during an investigation and has a breakdown. Luckily, Hank is there for him. )

I don’t want you to die, but can you really keep this promise ? (No, you can’t.) by Nightwings_left_butt

Summary
Death was not an unknown concept to Connor. He died two times before, it didn’t really bother him.
But now that he was a deviant? He couldn't say it left him as stoic as he had been back then. But he was still an android. Unless he is externally destroyed during his detective work or something, he would live for hundreds of years. He didn't have to worry about dying of natural causes anytime soon.
This was not the case with Hank.
The man was already in his fifties. His hair and beard were gray, his face wrinkled, and his dietary choices weren't the healthiest, slowly eroding any chance of a long life. And when Hank will die, he wouldn't come back. That would just be the end.
Connor thought he was doing a pretty good job of not thinking about the dark and depressing concept of inevitable death, but of course, it all had to be ruined. By Hank, no less.

OR, Connor is terrified by the idea of Hank dying. They talk about it. -

Summary
"What are you doing?" Connor cautioned, pulling his right arm closer to his damaged side instinctively. His eyes narrowed suspiciously, observing the lieutenant kneeling down infront of him.
Hank's eyes meet the android's gaze, "Er, what's it look like? I'm fuckin' helping you?"
—
Connor didn't know how to be cared for.

Summary
Markus didn’t trust him and put a bullet in his mechanical skull. He couldn’t blame him, but why did they have to bring him back again? And why was he so scared of death?
