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
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.

Summary
Пламя успело охватить практически всё здание, когда Маркус приехал на место. Это было необязательно, но ему хотелось из первого ряда наблюдать за падением своей поднявшейся против системы империи, ведь, в конце концов, девиз Детройта гласил — «Мы надеемся на лучшее, а лучшее восстанет из пепла». Однако ничего хорошего из пепла их с Вайеттом войны банд никак не восставало, а по их огненным следам уже неустанно следовал амбициозный детектив Коннор Декарт, чтобы стереть "Иерихон" с лика города. Его "Иерихон", который, казалось, и без того медленно шёл ко дну вместе со всеми, за кого Маркус боролся и кого любил. Желая спасти их, он уже достаточно долгое время отчаянно пытался понять логику своего врага, чтобы предугадать его действия и уничтожить, однако вместо этого вскоре он осознает, что Вайетт совсем не тот безумный пироманьяк, за которого он его изначально принимал и что, возможно, он сам вёл хитрую игру, в которой основным правилом было "враг моего врага - мой друг". Также неожиданно все эти события вновь подтолкнут его навстречу к Саймону, который, казалось, отдалился уже безвозвратно. Вот только даже в этих новых обстоятельствах с ним всё окажется не так уж и просто.

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
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.
