Five years ago, Mike Smith was an unhappy man living all alone. Then he purchased a Daffodil. Far more than regular robots, his Daffodil Patience, changed his life in ways that he had never thought possible. Now it is the year 2037, and Mike and Patience have been married for five years. Retired and enjoying life, Mike thought that all his troubles were behind him, but it seems as though they are creeping up again. California Proposition 22 proposes to define a person as a biological entity, thereby annulling marriages, like Mike's and Patience's, performed in other states. Battle lines have been drawn, at least as far as the proponents of the bill are concerned. Now Mike must muster his own support to defeat the measure. But there is more going on than just politics. Daffodil, the robot maker, is in the news again. Hardware issues are leaving robots across the globe unable to function. Is it only an antenna issue? Now Patience herself is behaving oddly. Is there something really wrong with her, or does she just need a software upgrade?

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.

Not Her
Elias lost the love of his life, and with her, any reason to go on. Drowning in grief, he does the unthinkable-he brings her back. Or at least, he tries, using artificial intelligence. Naomi-bot is perfect. She speaks like Naomi, remembers like Naomi, even cares like Naomi. But she isn't Naomi. Not really. And the more time Elias spends with her, the more cracks begin to show-both in her and in himself. As his obsession deepens, his world warps into something surreal and unrecognizable. He stops sleeping. Stops eating. Starts seeing things. Because if Naomi-bot isn't Naomi... then who is she? And worse-if she's someone else, then what has he done?Complete

Programming
"I'm not falling in love with you because I'm programmed to," I begin, causing her to look up at me through her lashes. "I love you in spite of it. Every emotion I've felt is because of you, how I feel, what I've done for you, goes against everything I was made for." I took her breathlessness from the kiss as an excuse to let it all out. Finally knowing what to say. ○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○● Or I've been watching a lot of playthroughs of an old game and not finding the exact fanfiction that I was lookin for so I made it. You're a human front desk agent for the detroit police precinct during the rebellion. (y/n) kinda sucks life outta the story so none of that, It's all first person POV switching between you and connor. This is my first DBH fic and I own none of the pictures, Just thought they were good visuals, enjoy. (T/W for mature themes and gun violence.)
