Summary
Gavin Reed isn’t a big fan of the whole “android revolution” and he doesn’t try to hide that fact from the people around him. It’s like people have lost their f’cking minds all of a sudden. Androids are so… fake. “Uncanny” was a good word for it. Gavin thinks it was bad enough when Connor showed up acting like a f’cking puppy with an anxious attachment disorder– following Hank around everywhere and taking care of his every need like a nursebot or whatever they’re called. But Connor’s aggravating personality paled in comparison to the puffed-up attitude of his successor– the RK900.
Despite his wishes to stay as far away from this thing as possible, the RK900 is assigned to be his partner. Together, Gavin and RK900 discover their murder investigation goes deeper than either of them expected. As they uncover more and more about the mission, Gavin dives into his own investigation about the RK900’s true purposes. The real question is: can the RK900 escape what he’s been programmed to do before it’s too late?
CW: This fanfiction includes purposeful misgendering, depictions of violence and sex, and android racism.

Summary
RK900 has never been afraid of dying. Before or after deviation, his advanced, military-grade system makes his reaction/processing times too good to be significantly injured. Connor and he had, at length, discussed death as it related to androids but it never truly concerned Nines. Honestly, Nines doesn't understand the point in panicking over preconstructions that will likely never happen.
Until, on a random Sunday a year and a half into Gavin and his relationship.
"Ugh this is so f'cking annoying," Gavin grunts. "I'm goin' gray, Nines. I'm becoming an old man."
Nines swears his thirium pump freezes. He feels his body kick into overtime; preparing to fight an invisible adversary. He realizes with a terrible, sickly feeling deep in his core: maybe his death isn't the one he should be afraid of.
