💙Good morning, Lieutenant - (Vol. 1) The Defective Deviant by TNKT

Mature, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, 614k words

(Part 1 completed)

The free androids of Detroit start building their brand-new future, but peace is only relative in the troubled times that follow a revolution. One of the major figureheads of the revolution and finally a deviant, Connor now has to learn how to handle free will. The AI that both guided and punished him is gone, but at a price, and he struggles with his newfound freedom when guilt and fear are the crumbling foundations of his new life. They say they want him there with them, but Connor can't understand why. He's afraid of himself and what he's capable of, afraid that maybe these feelings don't have their place within him. Despite all the doubts he may have, Connor finds that he desperately wants to live, because whenever he feels himself slipping and falling, they're here to catch him. Please heed the tags. Look after yourself!

💙River Crossings by smiley_anon, Zalein

(Completed series, closely followed Connor, Markus & North but only featured RK1K in part 5)

Part 1: Oregon Trail by Zalein Teen And Up Audiences, No Archive Warnings Apply, 106k words Simon is haunted by what he did to leave Stratford Tower. Connor has been sent to infiltrate the deviants—with a shrinking window to produce results. North has been benched due to injuries, and finds distraction in a shy YK500 playing games with her friends. No one in their right mind would want to go to Oregon… but a game where you can shoot humans doesn't sound so bad. Featuring: android cholera, the power of friendship, and a revolution that costs more than a week to win.

Part 5: Trial Run by smiley_anon, Zalein Mature, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, 141k words Human-android tensions are ratcheting up, even as Jericho does its best to promote a peaceful future. After one particularly vicious attack from humans, Connor and Josh are called back to Detroit to recover until things quiet down again. This should be fine, right? They’re on their home turf, and the gang’s all together again. …Life isn't that simple. Between new friends and old enemies, Jericho quickly finds itself under more pressure than it can take—and that's before threats start to span the globe. Expect: questionable allies, violent solutions, and everyone doing their unfortunate best. This is the fic where North crosses half the world to give a friend a metaphorical ride home.

💚Moonlight and Roses by RaddishWrites (Binx0r)

Mature, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, 106k words

(Part 1 completed)

I suck at summaries so have a reader’s testimonial: “a delicately-crafted and unapologetically-executed fantasy, it shoots readers through the heart (with chekhov’s gun, no less) and kisses it better with tender comfort in the same breath. perfectly contrasting sterile agony with joyful chaos, Moonlight and Roses weaves secondhand bedrooms, taco trucks, and excellent dad jokes to craft a tale of love, care, finding home, and discovering what it really means to be a person.”

Feel free to shout out the fics you liked that I didn't include in the comment/repost! Don't forget to show the authors some love if you enjoy their work.
