Summary
“You're not in a position to disappear again if this goes bad.” Markus' words were personal. His gaze was intent, almost protective.
The command was implicit: Don’t leave me to clean up another one of your messes alone.
The words left Connor’s mouth with difficulty, “I won’t.”
"You already did,” said Markus.
Detective Connor and Lieutenant Hank Anderson's investigation into the deaths of two android-rights activists sparks a personal crisis for Connor. Forging a fragile connection with Markus, Connor must confront hidden truths that undermine his role as a detective and force him to question his very identity.Series

Summary
Connor knew he wasn’t particularly good at things. He failed Amanda, failed Markus…and now he was failing at deviancy as well. Perhaps he was better off being a machine. Even Hank was bound to become fed up of him at some point. He expected it, but he hadn’t anticipated the pain that would accompany it. He supposed he deserved it.
His voice became louder, harsher, colder with every word. The more he spoke the more disoriented he got, and the more lost in memories of Cole- crash, hospital, androids, death- he became. Androids. androids causing problems in his life. Always ruining anything good he could possibly have in his life. How could he have forgotten? Looking at Connor now, seeing the yellow-red light spinning on his temple, he didn’t know how he ever saw a person in someone so obviously…synthetic. Mechanical. Always sat with an unnaturally straight posture, speaking like an awkward fucking thesaurus, never understanding jokes, expression never changing except for an uncomfortable, wonky smile that didn’t suit his face at all.

A very self-indulgent fic following Connor navigate through his deviancy as he experiences family, friends, betrayal, hurt, and what it’s like to be alive.

Summary
After a summer spent at the Dursleys with little to no contact with the Wizarding World, Harry is exhausted. He's been attacked by Dementors, his cousin got hurt and just to add insult to injury, Harry is stuck with an angry Vernon Dursley for the rest of the summer. Oh, and he needs to be resorted, because while he doesn't love the drama, the drama loves him.
The Sorting Hat finally gets his way and a newly sorted Slytherin Harry Potter must now navigate new allies, old friendships and new enemies, all while surviving the O.W.L. year, the second most important year of wizarding education.
Maybe getting expelled wouldn't have been so bad after all.

Overwhelmed by guilt and nightmares surrounding Cedric's death even months after the third task is over, Harry's mental and physical state are falling to pieces, but this time, for a reason unclear to him, Snape isn't there to pick them up.
After orders from Dumbledore warning him to stay emotionally distant from Potter, the Potions master can only help in the subtlest ways as the boy he worries so much about begins to crumble. His offer to teach Potter Occlumency ends in a fight that leaves them both hurt and angry, but a certain snake-perspective vision and Umbridge's unique punishments push them back together.
Recognizing that neither wants to lose the other, Harry and Snape both strive to repair their trust.
After all, things must get worse before they can get better.Series
