Summary
Connor's programming tells him he's wrong for being deviant. The new world tells him he's wrong for thinking he's wrong for being a deviant. The result: he feels bad about everything.
Hank's history has led to untreated depression and a roster of coping mechanisms that consists pretty much entirely of alcohol and a partially loaded gun. He isn't really equipped to handle an anxious android on top of that, but he can't bring himself to abandon him either.
The result: Connor moves in.
The result: They begin to help each other.
The result: They fall in love.
((aka conflicts between Connor's opinions and his programming lead to moral OCD, which he deals with badly; he moves in with a still-depressed Hank, which who isn't doing so hot himself; together they learn to deal with their problems and each other a bit better))

Summary
In 2028, a recently promoted Hank is thrown into a pilot program aiming to integrate androids into the police force. The android he’s partnered with, a curious and amiable model named Connor, quickly grows on him. And grows. And grows.
In 2040, a recently freed Connor returns to Detroit for the first time in over a decade to find that Hank, the only man he’s ever loved, has become someone completely unrecognizable. Someone bitter and cold. Someone who hates Connor.

Summary
It’s been a year since the accident that killed Hank's wife.
That was before Hank took the job on the severed floor, back when he was working a regular shift at CyberLife, so he remembers getting the call while he was at his desk. An autonomous truck crossed into Jen’s lane, and she swerved on the icy roads to avoid it. Cole was with her, in the back seat, and he was in bad shape, already in the operating room by the time Hank got to the hospital, but Jen was already gone. Dead on impact, the EMS worker had told him. She didn’t suffer.
Hank is suffering.
He made it about three months without her before he asked about openings on the severed floor.
~~In 2041, Hank Anderson works on CyberLife's "severed floor" for employees handling highly confidential material. Severance is a voluntary procedure, the installation of a chip in his brain that divides him into two versions of himself - one that only remembers his work, and one that only remembers his life outside of it. The two don't mix.
He's happy there. He might not know anything about his life outside, but he's happy.
And then Connor shows up as a new hire in the department, and mysteries about CyberLife slowly start unraveling.

Summary
After Cole's death, after the android surgeon who couldn't save him is decommissioned just because she came to tell Hank she was sorry, Hank sees how dangerous CyberLife is, and he sets out to make them pay. It leads him to Jericho, where he helps the deviants in whatever way he can for years.
In 2038, the deviancy crisis is coming to a head. CyberLife has developed a new investigative prototype to find Jericho. Connor suspects Hank is involved, that Hank might be the path he needs to the deviants, and when he finds a number of adult streams in Hank's home browsing history, he knows exactly how he might get close enough to him that Hank will lead him to Jericho.
He’s not prepared for how he starts to feel about Hank, especially when he isn’t meant to feel anything at all.

Summary
Connor's coughing again when he walks into the office.
It doesn't matter how long he's existed down here; he'll never get used to feeling perfectly adequate in one moment, then hearing the ding of the elevator and suddenly being overcome by a sore throat or a headache or, once, the hot, radiating pain of a recently stubbed toe.
--
Connor's having a bad day, and for maybe the first time ever, Hank's too busy with work to give him any attention. Of course, Connor reacts completely rationally to this.

They say Herondales only love once. Kit never really wonders why, not until he leaves LA with something stuck in his throat; not until he wakes up choking on a flower.
That's when he figures out that they never get the chance not to.

Summary
The nights in Devon are dark. Kit reaches out blindly, finding the cold edges of his phone by sheer muscle memory.
The phone number he needs isn’t saved anywhere on his phone. He made sure of this- in a rather dramatic way, if he’s being honest- but Kit doesn’t need it to be. It has stayed engraved in his memory.
“Hi, Kit.”

Summary
Joel still seems to have a touch of that nervous energy, because he can’t stop fiddling with his bracelets, but his words are a little bit more deliberate now. Purposeful, careful, not as rushed as they'd been a few minutes ago. “Okay. Jimmy, I know you know how I feel about you and all, but I want to make it clear that just because—”
Jimmy stares at him. Blinks hard. “I— sorry, what?”

Summary
It is - nice, doing these sorts of things with Hank. Existing as more than a machine, as he'd once been. More than a partner on the force. To simply be Hank and Connor - not Lieutenant Anderson and RK800 - is something immeasurable.
(Connor assists Hank in cleaning out his garage. With the task, understandably, comes a lot of emotions.)

Summary
A harsh kick was delivered to his spine, and the rope was wedged between his teeth, tied snugly around the back of his head. Footsteps moved around him, and Jimmy raised his head to let out a desperate growl, to glance over at the Star Hunter, to try and twist out of his bonds, hearing the people who pillaged his town laugh and load their guns- coders, he was going to have to listen to his citizens, his people die, while he was powerless and tied up.
There was a cackle, and the sound of a gun being loaded- multiple guns, in fact- and someone’s shout of surprise, like they had just seen something. A whimper, closer to a desperate sob, escaped from Jimmy’s mouth just before-
The impact.
The last thing he heard before the thing, large and winged, hit the ground just in front of him, sending dust and gunpowder and smoke swirling with flashes of deep green and gold and white, was the sound of a gun’s hammer clicking into place, and an unnatural screech of anger echoing off the towering rocks above.
Or, Jimmy promised to stop worshiping Joel. Many things are endangered. Without realizing, he falls back on old traditions. An angry god is not one to be trifled with. Old wounds are healing over.

Summary
The statue’s gaze darts down Hank’s mouth, taking in the way the corner of his lips turn. “What’s your name?” it asks, leaning forward.
“Hank,” he says. “Who are you?”
The statue lifts a hand and brushes some stray locks of hair out of its eye. They catch the light again, russet and gold, and looking... real. Touchable, and soft. It takes a step down from the plinth, onto the cold stone floor.
“My name is Connor,” it says. “She said you needed me.”

Summary
Hank must have shut his eyes. When he opened them again, something loomed in front of him, shapeless and unknowable in the black. It should have scared him, but instead, he only looked, thinking without words that he had a few more seconds before he would have to gasp for air and the water would fill his lungs. He’d played with his gun enough times to know what it was like, coming close to death, but this was so far outside his control that it was impossible to know how to feel. Mostly, he was numb, but that might have been the cold.
Whatever had him in its grip came closer, and closer, and Hank couldn’t take it anymore. He opened his mouth.
The figure was a man.

Summary
Hank isn't trying to be in control, Connor realizes a moment later. He's trying to be gentle.
And that feels even more foreign, because no one has ever worried about being careful with him. He was designed to look gentle when he needs to but not to truly be it, and so no one, not CyberLife or the Amanda AI or anyone after, has ever worried about taking care of him. Even at the squat with the other deviants, he's the lucky one with the unique face model, he's the one who can leave and work and at least pretend. The other androids love him - they're the only family any of them will ever have - but he's always the one taking care of them.
"Hey," Hank says, running a hand down Connor's arm. "You okay?"
"I'm okay," Connor whispers, and he thinks he means it.
~~
Connor deviated before ever being assigned to the DPD. He fought with Jericho during the revolution, and they failed. He's trapped in Detroit with the remaining deviants, wandering and aimless and taking unnecessary risks to feel alive.
So when he meets Lieutenant Anderson at a bar, a hook up seems like just the way to go, even if it does end up meaning so much more.

How does someone programmed to serve learn to ask for what he wants? Connor is struggling, but thankfully Hank has become his semi-willing human tutor in the weeks following the revolution. Maybe tonight Connor can figure out how to tell Hank he wants more.
