Summary
In 2028, the Department of State approaches Elijah Kamski about developing a unique, dangerous android to meet their specific needs. It's not on any record book at CyberLife, and as far as anyone knows, after Kamski's death a few years later, the project falls out of development entirely.
In 2033, Connor Stern joins the DPD as a detective. He works with Hank Anderson, and they orbit each other for years. They become friends, and then they fall in love. They decide their relationship is worth the risk to their jobs, and that they can hide it until Hank retires in 2039.
But something is happening in Detroit. It builds slowly, but their world is about to change.

Summary
What catches Connor's attention about the dating profile first is that Hank used to work at the DPD - they only just missed each other, actually - but what keeps him on Hank’s page is the bio that reads “idk im 53 and too old and tired for cutesy shit. hit me up if youre tired too.”
Connor is, indeed, very tired.
~~
After the revolution, Connor is working as an android representative. He finds himself being consistently scrutinized by the public, and he wonders if finding some way to humanize himself might help.
Pretending to date a human might help, and Hank seems like the perfect option.

Summary
Connor nods at Hank’s drink anyway, almost empty, and says, “Can I get you another?”
“Oh,” Hank says. “You don’t have to...”
Connor blinks at him - he’s sort of intense, actually, Hank thinks, especially for someone with such good puppy dog eyes. “Were you going to get yourself another one?”
“I mean...yeah, probably.”
“Then let me,” Connor says, and Hank must be gaping at him in complete confusion, because Connor shrugs and leans in closer to him. “I think you’re hot,” he says, like they’re sharing a secret, “in case that wasn’t obvious.”
~~
In 2036, while Hank is in Chicago on business, he meets Connor for the first time, and he can't stop thinking about him after. There's a magnetism between them that keeps pulling them back together, and it's easy to fall in love with him.
But Connor has secrets, and Hank has a few of his own, too.

Summary
"You know what a green card marriage is, right?" Hank asks.
"Sure," Connor says, dimly amused, because Hank was sweet to come all the way up to Canada, but this is ridiculous. "Who am I marrying?"
What Connor intends to say next is that he isn't that desperate, that his life here might not be what he would pick for himself but that it's also perfectly fine, until Hank pulls a little box from his pocket and opens it.
"I mean," Hank says, "I'm sure you have other options, but I'm offering. As your friend."
~~
Like so many other androids, Connor goes to Canada after the revolution. Android autonomy may have been granted, but things are still dangerous, and he doesn't want Hank to get hurt for protecting him. It was never supposed to be a permanent solution, but by early 2040, a number of legal developments have made it such that androids can only return to the states if they're marrying a citizen.
Connor wants to come home. Jeff wants him back on the force. And Hank just wants him back.
