In this fanfic Androids are free but still being treated badly. Also Simon is not dead he was and still is being repaired hes basically like Carl and Markus has stayed by him in every moment it. After Detroit was revacuated North and Markus started growing apart because they realise that it was the excitement of earning their freedom that brought them together and now that they have it they felt they were not meant to be. Markus had felt horrible for getting Simon so hurt like that so felt it was only nessasary for Markus to take care of him. So then they start feeling things.
In Connor's side of the story he still has a job at DCPD but him Hank seem different and neither of them have brought it up to each other.
I'm doing this fanfic now because I bought and beat the game and I started shipping characters so yeah hope you enjoy this little fanfic.
