    Summary

    Decide Who You Are is Part One of the Mutual Trust series.

    Mutual Trust is set post-game after the androids have peacefully won the revolution. Connor is deviant and living with Hank while still working at the DPD. An unfortunate accident at a riot brings Connor to Elijah Kamski's door, in desperate need of repairs. After a couple of interactions, Connor decides to test one of Elijah's projects for him, agreeing that they have a relationship built on mutual trust. Their relationship blossoms into something more with every meeting. Markus leads New Jericho with the weight of the world on his shoulders and Simon is right by his side, to help alleviate some of his responsibilities and teach him how to delegate his work, while also struggling with his past and trauma he's endured at the hands of Connor. And later, Gavin is partnered up with a newly discovered RK900 model, who has been turned deviant before being sent to the DPD. They discover a new strain of Red Ice that is linked to a large number of android disappearances and deaths.

    Summary

    Picking up during the closing moments of Book 3, Simon, believing he had killed the one person who ever truly loved him, descends into madness, unspeakable despair, and all-consuming fear as the manifestation of his life-long trauma destroys him, which, in the end, he accepts. But no sooner has the void staked it claim does he find himself hurled through the wasteland. With more Ghoms hot on his heels and the stench of death about him, he returns to the train, only to find that the familiar body he now inhibits is not his own. With this, the delusions crumble, as he has now become the anthesis of the reality Grace had made for him, that he had been raised into. What follows is an epic odyssey across the train, as Simon fights for revenge, glory, justice, atonement, hope, and above all, simple answers. Is life worth living, despite everything that's happened to him, and if it is, is he worthy to keep living it, despite everything he's done?

    Summary

    Markus was the athletic one and could knock out as many guards as they needed to. Or sneak their way through the facility. Simon was the one who followed behind, stayed out of the spotlight, and did his best to help. He was supposed to cause a distraction. Not end up on his knees between the legs of some pervert with a dick in mouth.

    Summary

    There's nineteen of them currently; he'll make twenty. A nice, even number. All he needs is a little clarity. A promise that Jericho is safe for him. Confirmation that he's not alone.

    Summary

    Markus touches his face and the other already tenses.

    “Are you feeling better?” The former asks, his mismatched eyes watching him.

    Connor tries not to get too distracted by them nor by the way Markus is touching his cheek, so gently... instead, he opens his mouth to reassure everyone he’s feeling better.

    What comes out of him is the exact opposite of that.

    “Adhfgdhjdhgfkjgf—”

    He shuts his mouth immediately. What the actual fuck?

    --

    In which Connor overheats and literally has a short circuit, and speaks like he's smashing a keyboard. No, there's no logic here.

    "What if we can't get back to Jericho?" She nervously asked, obvious worry and concern on her face. "What if we're stuck here forever?"

     

     

     

     

     

     

    "We won't be. I'll make sure I get you both out of here." Simon promised.

    Summary

    One month after the successful revolution, Simon finds his way back to New Jericho, but in the weeks that follow, something is wrong. Simon finds a concerned Markus outside his bedroom door. Memories are shared, and truths are uncovered, and it becomes impossible to pretend any longer that everything is okay.

    There's a new war, and New Jericho is the battlefield, as Simon, Markus, Josh, and North struggle to come to terms with what might happen when things fall apart. Blurring the lines between friend and foe, this new war proves more dangerous than even the most violent revolution. Because if you can't protect yourself, and you don't know who to trust, nowhere can ever be safe.

    This is a story of a nonlinear path to healing in the aftermath of the end of a world. The end of a world that mercilessly refuses to stop spinning at a rate that's impossible to catch up with alone. Luckily for Simon, he'll slowly learn that he doesn't have to.

    Summary

    (Title inspired by the song Jenny by Studio Killers)

    Markus and Simon had pined after each other for months but convinced themselves that their feelings wouldn't be returned. They dropped hints, but it just seemed like the other was oblivious to it. After a failed equipment run they found themselves stuck in an abandoned theme park with androids who were deeply in love.

    Was this the time to spill their secrets?

    Summary

    Fic retitled from "Gut Feeling", which is the title to chapter 1 that was formerly a one-shot.

    A canon-divergence starting at that one particular ending for Public Enemy in the break room, where Connor isn't fast enough but Hank's vision doesn't quite tunnel in so much. Now deviant through circumstances nobody particularly wanted, Connor struggles with the aftermath alongside the growing android rights movement. Hank finds himself caught between two priorities on top of his own issues. Simon takes risks he never imagined himself choosing.
