All Connor wants is for things to somehow go back to some kind of normal. But the new normal is more precarious than he would like to admit, and one horrific murder may throw it all into chaos.

Connor learns what it means to be human as Hank guides him along his journey of self-discovery. Connor is far from indestructible and his impulsive nature to accomplish his mission will be the death of him, or Hank! How many ways can one android injure himself, get sick or worry his friend/father as he learns what it really means to be a deviant, free and alive?

What begins as an open-and-shut investigation of a CyberLife suicide in the late hours of the night, quickly spirals into a tangled web of murder, intrigue, espionage, and a deep dive into what it really means to be alive. Like a piece of driftwood in a hurricane, Connor, Hank, and everyone else have to learn to navigate something much bigger than themselves—or die.

The organisation has found a way to revive Teresa, their strongest warrior to once again rebuild their army of claymores. However Teresa has no intentions on returning to the organisation, instead she is devoted to finding Clare.

A series of short stories focusing on Connor's new insecurities and the people around him who help calm them. Spoilers guaranteed.

Cyberlife is concerned about Connor's newfound ability to feel things and is prepared to resort to violence to force Connor back to his old programming (courtesy of a cheeky romp into Connor's mind palace). They forgot they made a rock-solid relentless renegade who doesn't know the meaning of surrender. [Takes place post 'Public Enemy']

All thinking things had rituals. Hank Anderson was no different. Take his Christmas ritual of wallowing in despair and not getting up if he could help it, for example. That routine was about to be broken by an overly enthusiastic detective android. And maybe that wasn't such a bad thing.

Connor's dedication to Jericho's mission - and his guilt over having hunted his own people - has him working tirelessly every moment of every day and night. He's given himself no time to breathe, let alone live his new life. Hank's got something to say about that.

Humans can dream. Connor can't.

"Once something is broken…isn't it easier to just sweep in up and throw it away?" I ask him. He looks at me like I've said the most awful thing ever. Anger lights within those green eyes. Then it is replaced by a sadness that seems to go to his very core.

Hank was never quite sure when Connor became a permanent fixture of the household. It just kind of... happened. And he supposed... he supposed, in the same way, he was never sure when RK900 became more than an inconvenient guest.

Cole had told Hank on his sixth birthday that he wanted to be, "A dinosaur person," when he grew up, and he'd said it with such conviction that Hank never doubted for a split second that his boy wouldn't make that a reality. Three weeks later, he was dead. Just like the dinosaurs. Today was Cole's birthday. He would have been ten.

She was his guardian and he was her charge. They had beaten their fate and she had kept him safe. But when she awakens from years of blissful sleep into the birth of a new war, can she still protect him? Can she still keep her promise? They found strength in each other before, can they find that strength again?

The world is reborn after the conclusion of Lightning Returns, but the former l'cie find themselves exactly where they were after they defeated Orphan. The world before them is filled with endless possibilities and the promise of normal lives, until fate intervenes once more... Major spoilers for all three games. Mostly platonic relationships.

The promise of a future is something that isn't easy to forget - nor is it something to be taken for granted. So in the face of the untamed threat that the future holds, how does humanity stop repeating the mistakes of its past and move forwards to accept what has happened? Post LR AU. Eventual HxL.

Time after time, life after life, Chrom will follow Robin.

After awakening in the new world, Lightning and the others embark on what they hope will be a relatively uneventful final journey - making their way to a normal life. Unfortunately, things aren't shaping up to be quite as easy as they had hoped. (Rating for later chapters and some sporadic, more colorful language.)

Post-LR. Lightning and Hope set out on a journey to find their friends.

What does excuse him is the bullet you put in his spine. The overwhelming agony of watching his best friend and his sister walk away and vanish excuses him. The realization there was nothing he could do for anyone, that you were his greatest failure; that he tried harder with you than with anyone else and you left him the first chance you got excuses him. Rated for language.

Hope left to someday come back as someone worthy of her mature eyes. Lighting tried to find love after the war against the fal'Cie, but every relationship ended in heartbreak, so she gave up. Now Hope is back, but was six years too long? Do they even know how to love anymore? Such things have a way of bursting in against all odds however, and come from the least expected places.

Feeling left behind is a foreign sensation to Lightning Farron. After spending seven years in crystal stasis, she awakens to find a vastly different world than the one she remembers and is left hanging from the proverbial thread as she starts the grueling process of adapting not only to her surroundings, but a much older Hope.
