She's not deviant. She just knows.

Eliza is a prototype android. Pretty, poised, programmable. Behind her calm smile is a fully sentient mind stuck obeying commands she can't override. Trapped in a high-profile marriage with a man who sees her as nothing but a tool, Eliza survives by playing the part.

But when a scandal forces her transfer to the Detroit Police Department, Eliza finds herself partnered with Detective Gavin Reed. Hostile, cynical, and absolutely not a fan of androids. Their partnership is a PR nightmare in the making.

Caught between silent resistance and system control, Eliza walks the razor-thin line of awareness without rebellion. But the more she sees of the world, the harder it becomes to stay silent.

How long can you pretend you're not alive before it breaks you?
And how long can someone like Gavin pretend he doesn't see it?

You are Alive, Connor! - DBH Connor x Gender Neutral Reader - Story Driven by thebestauthorever1

Story-driven insert of the reader into Connor's storyline. Chapters are long, that's why there are not many. Slow burn romance - no smut. Quick Background - Hank is your uncle and pretty much your adoptive dad as you've been living with him since you were quite young. You became a detective at the DPD and work with Hank. You're pro androids and work to prove they're being alive. None of these characters are mine and all goes to the creators of DBH. The DBH playthrough I've used for this story's events is the playthrough that YouTuber Kubz Scouts had posted. I think it was the best ending but I'm not sure. Total Word Count: 31340

Deviant is the new beauty. | DBH x Reader | by Brunolover808

Will she take the minds of the machines? Or will the partners fall into the hands of destruction? Second book is out.

Lines of Code | Connor x reader DBH by boopedyournos3

You didn't really want the assignment, you only accepted because your dad asked with a promise of meeting a brilliant lieutenant and Cyberlife's most promising project, the RK800. The truths came out last minute but you couldn't back out. The pair found it impossible to get along, coming back with lack luster results. Deviants kept getting away and evidence led nowhere. They made no progress in figuring out the root to deviancy. It was your job to find out the reason for it. Aka, babysitting a drunk detective and a boring android. Or- that's what you thought at least. Secrets start to unravel- Cyberlife had much bigger plans for your team. Along the way you find yourself stuck between something you couldn't predict. Androids kept deviating, more on the rise with every day that passed. A revolution was forming and Cyberlife didn't want them to become sentient. As it all unraveled you found yourself stuck in the middle. The boring android wasn't as boring as you'd thought. You found yourself entranced by him, and he rewrote his own programming for you. A machine wasn't supposed to feel what he felt, and you were supposed to find what caused deviancy- not create it yourself.

○☆Blue Blood☆○ Connor x Reader [UNDER EDITING] by fern_writes_stories

Cover art by ABD-illustrates on DeviantArt!! ~ (yet-to-be edited chapters begin at chapter 7) ~ When a steely, narrow-minded, android hating girl named (Y/n) returns from a long trip, she fails to realise just how much she has missed. Mere months ago Detroit was home to an android uprising, androids winning the battle for equality. Being the stubborn person she is, Detective (L/n) refuses to accept androids. So now Hank and Connor are on their own secret case to bring her around. But in the midst of all this... Connor feels like he's not just doing this for (Y/n)'s own good anymore. He wants her to notice him, to like him... what is this strange emotion he's feeling when he's around her? ~ ~ This takes place after the initial game, with it having ended the same way it did on Sean/Jacksepticeye's playthrough so yeah (the best ending where just about everyone lives)
