Summary
The way he sees it, there are two options:
1. Do nothing. Gunshot wounds are less fatal to androids. Only a headshot will kill instantly. A blast through the thirium pump or regulator would do the trick. Like humans, anywhere in the chest or stomach would be Not Good, but not certain death either. But the suspect is a former Cyberlife employee. He knows android anatomy.
2. Shove Connor the fuck out of the way.It’s such an easy choice to make.

Summary
He says he hates androids. That is a lie, he doesn’t. He admires them - always has, ever since Elijah called him in the middle of the night and stumbled through an almost incoherent, excited explanation laced through with "Chloe, Chloe, Chloe".
But this android doesn't need to know that. It just needs to go the fuck away.

Summary
The words have been written for forever, just above Gavin’s collarbone where the edge of a scar peeks out from under his shirt collar.
When people asked, he could say yeah, yeah, it’s just a tattoo he got for himself, because he’s a narcissistic asshole, yeah, his real soulmate tattoo is somewhere else-- “Like on my dick,” he’d said to the last person who asked, and they scoffed and walked away when he waggled his eyebrows.
His name. His own fucking name, is the last thing he'd hear from the person supposed to be the love of his life. Gavin can lie to himself that he doesn’t care, that it doesn’t affect him, but the quotation marks that stare back at him in the mirror say otherwise.

It’s quiet again for a moment, just sat there eating, when Kratos speaks up.
“You were born small.”
Atreus nearly chokes on his stew, this time coughing from whatever broth and mix of meat got stuck in his airway. “WhAt…?” He questions wheezily, clearing his throat and catching bit of air. “What?”

Summary
There isn't a wrong time to ask for a soulmate, they say.
Gavin Reed doesn't even scoff at that, anymore. People of all ages wait for a month, a year at most, before the cantrip leads them to the person they click with, and the dulling effect of the spell is lifted.
He's been waiting for a decade.

Summary
Emotions are not Gavin's strong suit. He has the emotional intelligence of a rock smashed through a window, and is only a little bit more tactful. But it doesn't take magic plastic mind melding to deduce that Nines was more distant than he'd ever been, and- yeah! Yeah, it stung a little! More than a little, maybe, maybe it hurt just as much as a fucking freight train to the gut, but nobody could blame him.
Loathe as he was to admit it, Gavin had grown... attached.

Summary
Connor stands there in the snowfall and thinks of Gavin Reed, a man it had met only twice and with varying levels of antagonism, but had lived through a lifetime with. It thinks of his strength of spirit, his perseverance, his fortitude. And it wonders what it might be like, being loved by him. If his capacity for love is great enough to carve a path through the cold, plastic casing of an android.
Connor stands there in the snowfall and it wonders if Gavin would even care enough to try.
(Or, an alternate universe fic where soulbonds are real, memory-sharing can happen at any moment, and a certain android sent by CyberLife is about to be in for a rude awakening concerning those first two points.)

Bookmarker's Notes
"And deep down, nestled within the very core of its consciousness, Connor thinks of the memory files it hoards in secret: a mother’s comforting arms around small shoulders; Hank’s steadfast support; the pain of loyalty and the wrenching loss of a friend; the grief of secrets kept and the betrayal of truths revealed. It thinks of love and how strange an emotion it is, that it could encompass all these disparate facets."

Summary
Gavin was ready to give up on life. His life had been going downhill since right before the revolution and he had closed himself off from everyone. He was starting to plan on quietly disappearing just as soon as this serial killer case was solved. Even then, he wondered why he was sticking around. It was not like anyone actually needed or wanted him. Then he woke up, a captive of the suspect and its crazy experimentations. He had wanted to disappear, but not like this.
The torture shocked his mind, giving Gavin visions to escape into. A glimpse into the lives of others like him. Maybe, just maybe, before he died he could find hope again.

Summary
Things have already been bad. String-of-mangled-bodies-turned-trafficking-investigation bad. And that’s on top of the standard every-day kinds of bad the job always is—shit like Fowler breathing down his neck about his goddamn “attitude problem,” and Anderson’s pet bot strutting around the office turning himself into everyone’s favorite computerized puppy, and the coffee machine in the breakroom still being busted even though apparently they had the spare cash lying around to get a second fucking detective-droid.
Oh, yeah. They have a second one now. RK900—the absolute bleeding edge of law enforcement technology. And because God has a sick sense of humor and a personal vendetta against him, specifically, he’s had it attached to his ass as a carbon-fiber babysitter for the past week.
Or, an examination of how Gavin Reed comes to understand (and maybe even like. A little. Maybe) the RK900.
