Hey there, welcome to my new fanfic!
Before reading this fanfic, please read this A/N. It contains important information surrounding this fic!
I am not an experienced writer (I've been writing for fun for the past 8 years but I rarely share what I write for fear of people not liking it) so please don't't be too harsh on me! Constructive criticism is of course welcomed and appreciated.
Timeline: So where does this fit in canon timeline? This is an AU and I have had to mess around with the timeline a bit to make this story make sense (my dreaming brain wasn't very helpful). This fic takes place just before Jericho gets stormed. Connor is deviant by this point, has found Jericho but Jericho was not stormed by the police. Anything that happens during and after Jericho was stormed has been disregarded (and thus my new timeline/dream takes place). Connor remains working with Hank, who is aware that Connor is deviant (Cyberlife either don't know he's deviant or do know he's deviant and have left him alone for now). The public opinion is sympathetic towards androids for the moment, but this will change. Kara, Alice and Luther remain at Jericho, as it is too unsafe for them to leave at the moment. I hope this clears up any confusion around the peculiar timeline I will be using, don't hesitate to ask me any questions if anything is confusing.
Warnings: There will be canon typical violence throughout, with some graphic descriptions of murder and torture. One of the cases they will be investigating is directly inspired by the James Bulger case, and it may be unsettling to read. I will put up the necessary warnings before each chapter.
Where will this fanfic will be posted?: , AO3 and wattpad, under the name "thewickerwoman"
Thanks for reading, and let's get on with the story!
