The city is stirring with colour, but for Detective Ethan Brown, the palette always seems to be off...

Detroit is always stirring with crime, and today is no different as the neon signs part the curtains of darkness, only to create shadows in new places. In an era where everyone is ridiculed by hearsay and rumours, getting the truth out there is not as simple as it used to be.

A VEIL IN THE SHADE by EliahRoyKercad

Wisnokee. A city where the night devours the weak, and justice is as twisted as the criminals who rule its streets. Corruption thrives in every alley, and the law is just another game played by those with power. Detective Elroy Stephens has spent years trying to clean up the filth, but some cases refuse to be solved in the light. That's why, when the sun sets, he becomes something else. He becomes The Veil. A masked vigilante, a shadow in the dark, the last judgment for those the system refuses to punish. But Wisnokee is bleeding, and something far more sinister has emerged. Bodies begin appearing-hanging from streetlights, from courthouse rafters, from the bones of a dying city. Each corpse bears a mark-a sentence passed by an executioner long thought to be a ghost. They call him The Hangman. And his trials have just begun. Now, The Veil must descend into the abyss of Wisnokee's underworld, facing ruthless crime lords, corrupt officials, and a cult of justice-driven fanatics who believe the only way to cleanse the city is by leaving it hanging. As the lines between justice and vengeance blur, Elroy will be forced to confront his own demons. Because in Wisnokee, the only verdict that matters is the one written in blood. In Wisnokee, justice isn't blind... it's hanging by a thread.

Shadows of Closure by lovelyst4r

When world-renowned detective Elena Graves is summoned back to her sleepy hometown, she's reluctant but intrigued. The local sheriff, Ethan Reid-a former classmate who once mocked her obsession with solving mysteries-has reached out with a chilling case no one else can crack: a serial killer targeting victims with unsettling precision. As Elena and Ethan work together, they uncover a harrowing truth-the killer's ultimate target might be Elena herself. Struggling to stay ahead of the murderer, Ethan takes it upon himself to protect her, a decision driven not just by duty but by guilt for dragging her into the danger. The closer they get to the truth, the more old wounds resurface. Ethan reveals that he pursued law enforcement inspired by Elena's passion and as a way to reconnect with her. But instead of the closure he sought, their partnership reignites feelings he thought he'd buried long ago. In a race against time, Elena must unravel the killer's twisted motives while navigating the tension between her and Ethan. As the mystery deepens, so does their connection, leaving them both to wonder if they can survive the deadly game-or if their rekindled bond will shatter under the weight of the secrets they uncover.

Criminal Analysis {Connor x Reader} by gogogodzillaa

You never pictured this life for yourself. Never pictured that android cases would start piling up and you'd be assigned to figure out why they were deviating. You were a forensic psychologist hired by the Detroit Police Department as a consultant. You usually dealt with figuring out what made suspects tick and why they did what they did. You figured it'd be the same thing, as usual, that is until a certain android walked into your crime scene and completely turned your life upside down. Also available on A03 and Tumblr!

He traces her mundane movement as she, quite sharply, plucks the rose from the vined wall. Predicts it. Anticipates it. "And what did you think of the detectives?" The LED distinguishing his humanoid being from the real one before him turns yellow, an outward reflection of his momentary analysis. "The Lieutenant has become rather hostile since being assigned to the case; he is reluctant to be working with an Android, that much is obvious." Amanda lifts the rose to the swaying sunlight, twirling the delicate flora between her fingers. "And his partner?" Connor's software instinctively recalls your introduction back at the department and your interactions henceforth. The curves and dips of your features are comely at first glance, a fleeting comfort from the razor-edge perception of your eyes and the thorns of your tongue - much like Amanda's rose. "She appears to be more receptive to my involvement in the case, I believe that she will be extremely beneficial to the investigation, reserved as she may be." *ೃ༄࿐ "Forgetting who you are, to become what someone needs you to be... Maybe that's what it means to be alive." An odd trio the three of you are: an angry, drunk, detective with a vendetta against all technology; a stoic officer lost in her own constellation of contradictions and questions; and an introspective Android with a mission (sent by CyberLife, of course). Much to all's reluctance, you're tied together in the uprise of deviancy, tasked with finding a solution to prevent civil war. But will your moral compasses point you astray? Will it tighten the nooses around your necks by which you are binded? Or will the unraveling frays tell a story - a warning to be heeded?

Burnt Blood: The Werewolf Within by Demon_Wolf_Detective

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro.
