Summary
“...A sleep-induced sickness? I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
No cost too great.
“It...It..It’s in my head..It..It won’t go away...”
No mind to think.
"You may have seen me put a blade through Her heart, but I was foolish to think She was really gone."
No will to break.
“The Void bends to no one. It merely makes room. It asks a price, but never asks in words. You must pay in kind."
No voice to cry suffering.
“...No matter what happens, just know that I will never stop loving you.”
“Oh, my Root...I’ve known that since the beginning of time.”

Summary
Hank Anderson never expected to have anything pinned to his fridge again- not pictures or crayon drawings or homework assignments. But now, there's a list- an important one, a reminder.
It reads: STUFF CONNOR LIKES, and they need to figure out what to put on it.

Summary
"Uh," Hank blinked. Celebrate? It was just him going back to work, nothing really worth writing home about. "Ah, sure, sure, yeah. Sorry, I... What did you have in mind?"
"Dinner."
"Dinner? Okay, sure, where at?"
"My place."
"Your place?" Hank blinked again. Connor had a place? It made sense, even androids needed somewhere to go recharge or whatever.
"I'd say let's go to Jimmy's, but they haven't started accepting androids yet, so I figured you could just come here."

Summary
Markus dropped like he’d been shot. He had been shot.
Hadn’t he?
He looked down. His systems were intact. He realized the police hadn't fired their weapons at all.
>INITIATING OVERRIDE SHUTDOWN.
Override shutdown? Was that a thing?
Shards of the red command wall he’d broken tore raw through his system. The moment he chose when he shouldn’t have been able to, and pushed Leo back. Even as each process forcibly winked out, he felt freer than he ever had in his recorded memory. It was like waking from a dream.
Then everything went black.
-
If Markus didn't get shot by the cops in "Broken," and Hank and Connor started investigating him instead of Kara in "Waiting For Hank..." An excuse to re-imagine scenes with different characters and outcomes.

Summary
“Oh,” Connor says, looking at the case in his hands. “Well, I sorted your records alphabetically because I thought that would help me get to sleep. But, it didn’t… So, I’m sorting your DVD’s now.”
He realizes, now that it’s coming out of his mouth, that he sounds like an idiot. He sets the DVD case down and runs a hand through his hair.
“I didn’t mean to wake you.”

Summary
“Please! You can’t. You don’t understand!” He makes it halfway to the dais before a guard’s sword is at his neck.
“You must be his father,” the queen’s cold, dark eyes take in his features, reading the resemblance of father and son like a map.
An idea—one last fleeting hope—leaps to his lips, “He isn’t man-grown. He’s still a child by our laws.” His words shake with his terror for his son and he waits.
“Laws have been broken,” the queen says without a hint of consideration. “I cannot afford to appear weak. I am not moved by your blubbering.”
It was only then that Hank realized he was crying. Not heavily, but a tear trickles into the corner of his mouth like salt on a wound.
“Take me instead,” he falls to his knees partly to beg but mostly because they can’t bear his weight any longer.
--
A vaguely Beauty and the Beast AU. Connor may be a beast, but there are bigger monsters lurking in the shadows.

Summary
This was by far the stupidest thing he’d done in a long time. Hank did a lot of stupid things, but this had to be top five. Driving hundreds of miles for… for a fucking letter. A letter that just couldn’t be real. It had been Cole's name on the envelope. The sticking point was that dead people didn’t write letters.
Hank wanders off into a foggy, abandoned town in hopes of finding his long-dead son, and runs into some fucking bullshit on the way.
Silent Hill!AU based off Silent Hill 2. (Readable without knowledge of the game but heavy spoilers await.)

Summary
“Do you ever relax?”
The abrupt change in subject throws Connor, for a moment. He considers the question, looking down at his hands folded neatly against his knees. He’d removed his usual jacket, somewhat uneasy with what it now symbolizes as a garment, and loosened his tie. Despite his worries that he would be encroaching on Hank’s much valued personal space, he feels what he would call wanted, and content. Isn’t that what relaxed means?

Summary
With an inability to express just how he truly feels about Connor's face, Hank's resigned to coasting just on the wrong side of awkward, putting his foot in his mouth on more than one occasion. And Gavin's there, a surprising voice of reason at the most inopportune times.

Summary
"[He] is the most perfect and most obedient tool which mankind ever possessed! Tonight you will see [him] succeed before the upper ten thousand. You will see him [bleed]." - Metropolis
The late 19th century. The peace in Lieutenant Anderson's small town has been disturbed by unsolved cases of mutilation and murder. As it's the nature of man, his colleagues suspect a group of carnival performers that has moved into the deserted mansion outside town for the winter. But with no lead, Hank and the detectives Reed and Miller can only visit inofficially and keep their eyes open. Conveniently, sleazy Elijah Kamski, his wife Chloe, and their friend Amanda Stern open the house for one of their shows for one night.
Strange, obscure, but utterly harmless. Hank doesn't share the prejudices of some people and an unexpected encounter in a small storage room distracts him from the case for good. Charmed by a certain cute face, Hank is unaware that this encounter will turn this young man's world upside-down. It might have been love at first sight but it's never that easy. Especially when Hank must not know that the show's greatest attraction, the emotionless, pain-resistant man-machine, wasn't just an illusion.

Summary
Connor can't help himself. Markus is captivating. His voice is soft and yet commanding, his presence warm and comforting while intimidating all at the same time. His words, in spite of how fervently Connor wishes to disregard them, are powerful and ridden with meaning. He is an enigma. Deviant leader draws deviant hunter in without so much as a roll of his shoulders. Connor, no matter how much he repeats the ‘I am a machine and nothing more’ mantra in his mind, cannot escape the ‘you are alive’ that Markus so relentlessly feeds him every single time they meet up like this.
EDIT: this is now a chaptered work! By popular demand and an influx of inspiration, it's now going to have a few chapters!

Summary
It's almost prom time at Cage High, where Connor Stern resides as the primary scapegoat. He's painfully awkward, and not to mention extremely isolated compared to the rest of his classmates; who, for as long as he can remember, have oppressed or ignored him on a daily basis. Life at home is no better, complete with subjection to torment from his piously over-zealous mother, who sees sin in almost everything there is in the world. He yearns for a change, something that will break the monotonous hellhole of a cycle he's trapped in—little does he expect it to come in the form of an embarrassing incident in the school showers, that ends up awakening something new within him.
Something powerful. Something dark.
Something he thought to be long repressed.
He doesn't know where it came from. All he knows is that he doesn't want to give it up.

Summary
It’s deathly quiet, but if North shuts her eyes and focuses, she can hear the distant thrum of the city, its lights pulsating purple across her eyelids. She raises her chin up to the sky and relaxes her shoulders as she breathes in. Markus says nothing, his hand a gentle, but half hearted weight in her own. When North opens her eyes, he is staring out at the city before them.
There is a question looming over their heads, but neither goes to voice it. They have mutually decided to let it stay, festering in the silence between them. North finds that she can phrase it perfectly as well as never begin to wrap her head around it.
It is one question. But it is a heavy one.
Markus looks at her with a smile. It’s tender, and full of love, but something in the set of his lips is off. She looks at him, and is unable to smile back. She only squeezes his hand, and looks at the Detroit skyline.
(In which North loves Markus, and doesn't get why being with him feels so wrong. Featuring RK1K and our favorite lesbian police officer: Tina Chen)
