Summary
Joel had been her twentieth placement in her short fourteen years. She could not recall what any of her foster homes looked like, but she knew what a house needed to be a house. Usually, only four walls and a roof. The rest: useless technicalities.
But Joel’s apartment strayed from familiarity. No locks on anything or keypads to restrict her access. Nothing that would suggest Joel was capable of ostracizing her in this small space that seemed to be at her disposal.((Ellie, a troubled foster kid is thrust into a temporary emergency placement with Joel, a first time, very reluctant foster parent. What could possibly go wrong? (Answer: a lot))

Summary
“Ellie?” Tommy calls, loud enough that she should be able to hear him from anywhere in the house. “I’ve got extra blueberry muffins from the dining hall.” (Yeah, he might be trying to buy her affection with baked goods, but that’s not a crime.)
There’s no response, and his stomach twists a bit as he locks the door behind him and drops the key back in his pocket. “Ellie?”
Silence.

Summary
“Shhh, baby girl it’s just me.” Joel’s voice is low and it sounds…off, for some reason she can’t place.
“Huh?” she whispers, stumbling in the dark. She can’t see his face in the low light of the living room, but his silhouette moves from the coat rack in her direction.
“Hey sweet girl.” He coos, reaching out to cup her cheek in his hand. “Didn’t mean to wake ya’ honey.”
Ellie blinks, confused as fuck at this random sweet talk. What’s with all the pet names? And the face touching? He did it a few times after the Silver Lake incident, and once or twice when she’s had a pretty horrific night terror, but normally he’s not so…soft.
Then, the putrid smell of hard liquor hits her nostrils, and she recoils almost instantly. Blegh. Drunk.
Drunk Joel is new.
(Joel gets drunk for the first time in front of Ellie. She sees a softer side to the gruff man she’s come to know.)

Summary
It's a rom-com with androids, murder, and mystery.
When Fowler assigns you and Connor to an unusual B and E case, you do some sleuthing like the good detectives you are. One thing leads to another -- until you're suddenly dealing with an android supremacist who targets android-human couples.
As the case progresses, you and Connor become closer, and you have to deal with feelings you thought you'd buried when it came to him. But right when you think you can have it all, shit hits the fan again, and Connor is in trouble.
If you don't stop the perp, things won't just look bad for Detroit; you'll never have your happy ending.
No biggie, right?

Summary
For Connor, nothing hits quite the same as the first time he heard a sweet love tune from Frank Sinatra. Not only did he love the way they sound, he found that those kind of songs always opened up an opportunity to dance with you.

Summary
Takes place right after Part II
On her way back to Jackson, Ellie spends the night in an abandoned little cabin in the woods. If she had known that the cabin would teleport her into a world where the cordyceps doesn't exist and Joel is very much alive, she'd have made a ten mile detour around it.
But as it is, she's stuck in a modern Jackson now and neither she nor Joel have any idea how to get her back. Ellie has no choice but to confront her demons, and Joel—
Well, he has a few demons of his own to deal with.

Summary
Connor isn't where he supposed to be. Out of both time and place. He's now stuck in a time with no androids other than himself. And he has a sneaking suspicion that this might not even be in his universe. However, that mystery can be solved at another time.
Right now, he has to go home and not get discovered by the humans. And absolutely do not get attached to the resident Hank, who is apparently his employer, Tony Stark, with alcoholism and tragic backstories abound.
Too bad that he's going to get attached anyways.

Summary
Finding a kid at a murder scene? Unfortunate, but not entirely uncommon. Many murderers, and burglars that have resorted to violence, either weren’t able to bring themselves to kill the kid, didn’t think there was any use killing the kid, or simply didn’t even know there was a kid to kill and, therefore, it left the officers first on the scene with a nasty surprise of a crying child asking about their dead carer or family member. It wasn’t fun, but it was how the world worked. Parents had kid, murderer kills parents, kid gets interrogated before being finally put in the care system when they have nothing more to say.
However, finding a kid at a murder scene when they have no idea who the murder victim was? That was a new one.

Connor is found in the attic of a murder scene, Hank has mixed feelings about him.
