Connor(RK800) X F.Reader - Safe heaven (Part 1)
Detroit Police Department
19 May 2040 - 22:45
Michigan, Detroit
"How does that feel, you piece of shit?"
Hank looked at the young man in front of him, his nose already smeared with blood. Handcuffed, he sat in the interrogation room and Hank was more than determined to make this bastards life miserable.
"Well, talk!"
But Hank was only met with a hateful glare and Hank was losing his patience!
"You picked the wrong girl, asshole! Sucks when she's got cop in the family, huh? Son of a bitch!"
Hank wasn't shy about getting physical. Who was going to do anything about it? For Hank, there were no rules at the moment. Besides, rules were made to be broken. Especially since he had already given Steven a bloody nose even before he brought him to the police station.
"I don't know what that crazy bitch told you! I didn't do anything..."
Without warning, Hank punched him right in the face and this time the man groaned loudly.
"FUCK!"
"You're not getting out of here alive, Steven. I know for a fact that you did this to her. You fucking scumbag!"
"The whore has started! She provoked me!"
And another punch in the face! Hank could go on like this all night long. Steven had just confessed that he had attacked Y/N.
"Just give me one reason, and I'll blow your fucking brain out!"
And when Hank Anderson was pissed, he was capable of anything! Especially when it came to protecting his loved ones and Y/N was very important to him.
"ANDERSON!"
And just as it was starting to get fun for Hank, his boss interrupted him. Unlike Hank, Fowler kept strictly to the rules. However, this one didn't know anything about this particular case yet...
Anderons looked at Y/N tormentor with hatred, leaning out towards him.
"You won’t escape me," he whispered threateningly, making Steven visibly nervous.
At the same time in Hank's apartment...
"Y/N?"
The young woman was completely beside herself, not even hearing Connor at first. The android had been very careful not to startle her, making his voice sound melancholic, so that she knew she was safe here. Here, with him. Connor looked at the young woman with concern as she sat huddled on the sofa, staring off into space. She was chewing on her fingers; her gaze seeming so blank, but at the same time you could see the countless tears running down her cheeks. Probably everything was playing out in her mind's eye at the moment. Her body was trembling and Connor feared that Y/N would not forget so easily. Inwardly, the android sighed, wondering over and over why people hurt each other. The android approached her carefully, kneeling on the ground in front of her, so as not to startle her.
"Y/N?"
This time she responded. Her gaze sought his. His warm, loving gaze that she had always liked.
"You don't have to be afraid. He can't hurt you anymore."
Not as long as Connor was with her. And Hank would never let anything happen to the young woman either. Y/N let out a sob, but nodded before her face turned back to sadness and finally burst into tears. She let herself fall forward, right into Connor's shoulder, seeking comfort from him. Carefully, Connor wrapped his arms around her delicate body, trying to soothe her by stroking her back and letting her cry on his shoulder, until she would calm down.
Here they sat now, in Hank's apartment, while the lieutenant at the station was giving hell to the man that had hurt Y/N.
"You were very brave today, Y/N," Connor whispered to her as he gently stroke through her hair. She moved a bit away from him, to look at him. Into his brown doe eyes that radiated so much warmth.
"I-I'm so glad you guys are here!"
She sobbed softly, wiping tears from her cheeks as she clung to Connor's gray jacket with her other hand. The android smiled warmly at her, nodding. Hank and he would always be there for her.
Connor stayed seated with her until she calmed down a bit.
"Would you like some tea, Y/N? Or would you like something to eat? Do you want me to order something to eat?"
But the young woman wasn't hungry. She just shook her head, smiling weakly. It was sweet how much Connor cared about her.
"No, thanks. I don't want anything right now."
Suddenly Sumo, Hank's big dog, came over, sniffing at Y/N first before nudging her with his nose and eventually resting his head on her lap. Loving as the young woman was, she stroked his thick, soft fur and sighed contentedly. Connor stroked him as well, and the dog couldn't be more comfortable at the moment. However, Sumo felt her pain and that made him sad too.
"When is Hank coming?" the young woman asked. Hank was like family to her. He had known her father well, always remembering Hank's countless visits when she was a child. After all, she was almost like a daughter to him.
"Hank's still at the office. I don't think he'll be back so soon."
Connor knew what Hank would do to Y/N's tormentor, and honestly, Connor would love to keep him company and beat some manners into Steven. Is that how you treat a woman? When Connor had found her an hour ago, her face had been streaked with tears and her nose had been smeared with blood, her top completely torn... Clearly she had been abused by her boyfriend and Connor was very glad that Y/N had asked Hank for help. She was very lucky they were both nearby. Worse things could have happened.
"Is he going to jail, Connor?"
The desperate look on her face nearly killed Connor. She was terrified of Steven and he could understand that. The android sensed an increased heart rate from her. Her body temperature changed, and when Connor reached for her hands, her fingers were so cold.
"Hey... It's going to be okay. You're safe with me."
Carefully, he lifted her chin, searching the look in her eyes that held so much fear and pain. What had this man done to her? How many days and months had she gone through this now? Connor wished he had realized all of this sooner.
"Hank and I will make sure he stays locked up!"
Hank and Connor had arrested Steven while still on the scene. Steven had been carrying a knife, had been yelling like a madman, threatening Y/N. This was clear evidence that would lead to Steven's arrest.
"I'm so scared. What if..."
Connor knew exactly what she was about to say and he interrupted her immediately.
"No, Y/N. He won't dare come near you and he will be condemned. However, you must agree to testify against him."
Connor could imagine how difficult this would be for the young woman.
"I-I... oh God, Connor..."
How was she going to do this? All she wanted was to forget and live a normal life! To have her old life back, before she had met Steven. Why had this demon come into her life? Why hadn't she noticed the red flags right away?
Y/N's whole body started to shake and Connor sat down with her on the sofa, gently pulling her into his arms, something Y/N appreciated at the moment. While burying her face deep into his chest, she could sense the fragrance of his aftershave. Aftershave? Certainly unusual for an android, but a lot had changed in the last two years. Especially after the revolution of the machines. Connor was no longer a programmed android who only took orders. No, he was an individual person who could feel emotions like sadness and love. Fears and worries; and right now, all his worry was on Y/N.
Connor was a little surprised when Y/N laid her head on his lap while stretching the rest of her body on the sofa. Connor's eyes were completely on her as he gently stroked through her soft hair, silently being there for her. It wasn't long before Y/N fell asleep from exhaustion. Finally, after so many months, she could sleep again. Without having to fear that she would be harmed in her sleep. She knew Connor was with her, and on top of that, she was in Hank's home. Her safe place was right here. Connor watched over her and he imagined all she had been through with Steven. She was so exhausted, completely broken down, and in the last few weeks she had laughed less and less. Connor hadn't known her like this. When he had first met her two years ago, she had been full of life. Her beautiful smile, her friendly nature was special in this cold world. And then Steven had taken this from her piece by piece. He was so infinitely sorry to see her in this condition.
"Don't be afraid. I will always be with you."
He was her angel who would protect her...
Careful not to wake her, Connor disengaged from her, only to gently pick her up in his arms, taking her to the guest room. She was fast asleep, the android could tell by her breathing. He laid her down in bed, covering her so she wouldn't get cold.
"Good night, Y/N..."
He bent down to her, gently kissed her forehead and stayed with her for quite a while...
As the first rays of sunlight fell through the window and warmed Y/N's skin, the young woman gently sighed as she slowly awoke from her sleep. At first, she didn't know where she was and her eyes searched the room, yet she was deeply wrapped in the sheets and she wouldn't dare get out of bed so quickly before she understood where she actually was. But when the memories came up so slowly, she understood immediately. She was more than relieved to be at Hank place.
"Thank God," she whispered as she threw herself on her back and stroked her hair. "Dear Lord, thank you..."
Instantly, Steven crept into her thoughts and fear overcame her again. What if he sought her out? What if Hank had to let him go again after all? She felt sick, her stomach tightening painfully at the thought. She pulled the blanket over her again and hid under the sheets, seeking shelter and protection as she began to cry.
"Connor..."
Was he still here?
"Connor? Connor!"
A few seconds later, the android was standing at the door, looking anxiously at the young woman who was looking at him for help. His LED glowed a deep yellow. Had she had a nightmare? Usually, after traumatic experiences, people tend to relive many things in their sleep.
"Y/N? What's wrong?"
The android sat down with her and the young woman instantly snuggled against his chest, sighing in relief as she felt Connor's strong arms around her.
"It's all right now", she whispered. Connor smiled at her words, his LED glowing a bright blue again.
"Did you have a bad dream, Y/N?"
"No", she whispered as Connor gently stroked through her hair. "I was just afraid you wouldn't be around..."
"I'll always be there," he replied softly, hugging her a little tighter to give his words even more expression. The young woman felt very comfortable around the android and she didn't feel any fear at the moment either.
"Are you hungry, Y/N?" Connor asked her after a while, but the young woman just shook her head. She had no appetite. Connor didn't think this was a good idea, but he couldn't force her to eat anything. Still, he tried to reason with her, because eventually a hot meal certainly wouldn't go amiss.
"I know you don't have any appetite. But maybe try some fruit and yogurt first? Or maybe even some pancakes?"
The young woman seemed to think about it before sighing deeply and finally agreeing to his suggestion.
"Okay, Connor."
Satisfied with her answer, the android smiled.
"Okay, then I'll prepare some for you quickly!"
The young woman ran a few recipes through her head, because pancakes with fruit and fresh yogurt sounded really good! Fluffy and delicious! Just comfort food! Wait, Connor would make them? She had to smile at the thought, because the fact that he was going to the effort to do this for her was sweet.
Then Connor rose to leave before Y/N gently grabbed his hand and looked up at him.
"Thank you, Connor. For caring so much."
And in his eyes she suddenly saw that gleam, that look of affection, which made her heart beat faster for a moment.
"No need to mention it, Y/N."
Because she was incredibly important to him, and he wanted her to be okay. Most of all, that she felt safe and secure around him. Connor would really do anything to see her smile again.
"Connor! Y/N?"
Hank brought the android out of his thoughts. The lieutenant must have been done with the interrogation and was certainly tired. After all, he had been out all night.
"Over here, Hank!" called Connor to the man. Y/N rose from her spot and met Hank halfway. She immediately wrapped her arms around him and he held her close.
"Hey, kiddo. How are you doing?"
Hank sounded tired and exhausted.
"Connor's with me. I'm fine with him," she whispered, and those were the exact words Hank had wanted to hear.
"Good. Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Not yet. But Connor's about to make some pancakes."
At that, the lieutenant raised a brow.
"'Him? Pancakes? Are you sure, Y/N?"
"You want some, too, Lieutenant?"
"Sure, Connor! There's nothing like having to spend all day in the shithouse, after eating your pancakes!"
It was meant as a joke, and it didn't miss its mark, as the young woman laughed. Hank really couldn't imagine Connor cooking up something like that. But what could he say? He trusted the android as he had surprised him so many times in many ways. Probably this would be the best pancakes Hank would ever have.
But for Y/N now, of course, was interested to know what would happen to Steven now.
"Hank?"
Her serious and, at the same time, worried expression, made the smile on Hank's face slowly but surely disappear.
"Come. Let's sit down, Y/N."
Hank gently took her by the hand and led the young woman to the sofa, where he sat down with her. She looked at him with curiosity and her heart hammered madly, her hands getting cold all over again as she got all nervous. Hopefully Hank would have some good news for her.
"Y/N, we need your report."
"B-But... I don't have to see him, do I?"
The lieutenant shook her head. She wouldn't cross his path, he had made sure of that.
"No. But you have to tell us... everything," he said softly, before running a hand through his hair. He didn't like the idea of the young woman being pressured into telling the police everything in detail either. He was afraid to hear what had happened. What that bastard had done to her. But Hank knew that it could help to put Steven in jail for several years.
Connor listened to the conversation while he took care of breakfast. Sumo was not far from his feet, dozing off. Connor's LED lit up yellow again when he thought of Steven. This guy had been suspicious to him from the beginning and he cursed himself for not noticing sooner what an asshole this guy was. But he was all the more proud of Y/N for being such a brave woman.
"Okay, Hank. But I'm only going to talk to you and Connor..."
Hank nodded as he put his hand on her shoulder. Just Connor and him.

Hi! Could you make a preferences/hc of the pro/hoo characters how they cuddle and/or sleep with there s/o?
cuddling hcs with pjo/hoo characters
a/n: these kinda went into general pda hcs, but hopefully it's still good tho
warnings: possible hints of angst + trama, cause who dosen't have it :')
reader tends to be gender-neutral // my masterlist
annabeth
i feel like when cuddling w/ annabeth that there's not really a big spoon or little spoon posistion
it's mainly just your arms wrapped around each other, just a tangle of arms and limbs
dosen't really hug you too much in public but always needs a goodbye hug from you before you go somewhere
she also likes acting out as your pillow with you head on her chest/lap (she probably reads you a book too :))
bianca
her hugs are really comforting and warm
she always knows when you need one
she can just tell
she's memorized your body language to a t
might whisper some comforting words here and there
could make any surface feel soft when her arms are wrapped around you
calypso
i think she likes to be held more than to hold someone
she can hold you tho, and she's great at comforting you
likes to hum or sing you little songs and melodies
she likes when you play with her braid too

clarisse
i feel like she gives good bear hugs
she has some meatystrong arms so her hugs are kinda firm, like she's reminding you that she's there and no one can hurt you

so not too big on cuddling
he's not exactly avoidant of pda but he's not looking for it
might put his arm around you every once in a while
when cuddling he likes to be the big spoon, he finally feels like he can be of use and protect you from the cruel world :')
frank
gives the best bear hugs (both literally and metamorphically)
at first he's pretty awkward w/ hugging but grows to love it
he can shapeshift into just about any animal to have a different cuddling arrangement
one day you're being snuggled by a dragon, who's wrapped protectively around you, and the next you're holding a cute lil labrador puppy in your hands
needless to say it's an overall wholesome expierence :)
grover
the first time you hugged him, poor goat bby didn't know what to do
like where is he supposed to put his hands??
but after a while gets used to them
not to big of a hugger but enjoys it
has to get over the awkwardness of it at first tho
but afterwards enjoys it
just never sneak up on him
hazel
i don't know how else to describe her hugs other than sweet
her hugs are super comforting and grounding
just sneak up on her and give her a surprise back hug
she lets out the cutest giggle whenever you do it :')
even though she probably heard you coming
always wants to make sure you're comforting when cuddling, she dosen't want to overstep any boundaries of yours so
jason
not exactly looking for cuddles or pda in general, but he's not going to hate affections either
he'll most likely be wanting cudddles after a long day of praetor duties, helping at chb, or school
he won't want anything else, just to be held by you for a few good long minutes
with that being said however, he is more of a big spoon type of guy
leo
he's like a human furnace
always super hot warm
very comforting and cozy
he loves snuggling
in general he's a very touchy person so a arm's usually always around you
loves holding you
after a long day of working on little trinkets and fixing up things he likes to be held by you (arms around your waist, face on your shoulder)
play w/ his hair pleaseee it's very soothing
luke
sturdy?
he has some pretty strong arms so his hugs are a bit firmer than he'd honestly prefer
likes to put his hands around your waist with your hands placed over his
also he likes when you just play with his fingers or stroke his arms lovingly
((also has a really good grip
nico
he isn't much of a hugger, to other people anyways
but with you, he practically craves your touch
it always has to be in a closed off space tho
he's not the biggest fan of pda, but alone with you,,
he practically clings onto you like a lil koala bear
loves wrapping his arms around your waist and burrying his face in your neck
he just needs someone to touch every once in a while to keep him grounded :')
side note: he is pretty cold, like ALL the time so ye
percy
percy the pillow jkjk
fr tho, he likes just placing his head on your chest as his arms around your waist when cuddling
also is a fan of getting his hair played with
he goes back n forth between lil spoon and big spoon
he also just finds your presence itself very comforting
and your smell
goes to sleep with the biggest grin on his face
piper
another hummer
she likes it when you braid her hair
she also like brushing her nails through your hair and scratching at your scalp
she likes holding you more than being held
can be very comforting
a quick hug from her also brings a great feeling
rachel
appreciates signs of pda in general
enjoys holding you and playing w/ your hair
can just walk up to you, give you a hug and walk away randomly
she is moreover a quality time person sooo
reyna
not really a hugger tbh
she has lots of walls built up sooo
she's also not much of a physical person
but she might be good with a hug or two after a long day
if she were to cuddle she'd be pretty stiff at first and need to ease her way into it
thalia
likes wrapping her arms around your neck and just looking at you with so much adoration in her eyes
she really likes being held from behind when sharing a bed
also likes to play with your fingers
will
his hugs are so warm and comforting (obvs)
i feel like he'd be the type to just be gossiping w/ you while you two are tangled together, he's playing with your fingers and all but still has your undivided attention
probably majority of the time os the big spoon but would like being the little spoon on especially hard and stressful days
zoë
as much as i looove zoë, i don't think she is much of a hugger :'(
she's very stiff at first bc she isn't really used to soft touches or touching in general
but then eventually relaxes and will end up not wanting you to leave her
she likes when you play with her hair
she can give good back rubs
she proably will end up being the little spoon on most days tho
also gets tired and ends up wanting cuddles
it helps give her a space of calmness after a long day out hunting
it's soothing

You could’ve handled it all perfectly fine on your own. You didn’t need Connor’s help, you didn’t want Connor’s help. You were entirely capable of taking down a runaway vigilante on your own.
Sure, maybe it was stupid of you to run off on your own to the crook’s last known location the second the call was made. But he had been only three blocks away from you. What were you supposed to do, wait for backup? Of course not. You had the opportunity to catch a known criminal, so you took the risk. It was all part of the job.
You found yourself at an empty construction site with your gun drawn and pointed at the runaway criminal. You inched closer to your target– some crazy, murderous, anti-android protestor, there were a lot of those these days– slowly drawing your cuffs. You reached forward to restrain his wrists, fingertips brushing against his skin.
And then you were on the ground. You had been practically tackled, your temple striking the rocky earth hard enough that it looked like the world was spinning.
You sat up uneasily as you tried to orient yourself. Who in the world would have shoved you like that? The only indicator was your attacker’s quick “Sorry, Detective.”
You grunted in frustration as your vision cleared, focusing on the one person you did not want to see: Connor.
In all the time it took you to readjust, Connor had taken the vigilante to the ground. He stood overtop the criminal who groaned between crazed laughter. Connor’s foot pressed firmly into the criminal’s chest, a gun– that certainly did not belong to the android– pointed directly at the laughing man’s face.
You moved slowly from the ground, holding your surely bruised side. Your gaze was locked on Connor’s trigger finger, anxiously anticipating gunfire. You feared what it could mean if Connor pulled the trigger.
“Connor,” you warned quietly, your voice steadier than expected.
As you approached, you noticed the twitch of his finger. His LED was cycling through every color imaginable, his brows furrowing and unfurrowing as he held the criminal’s gaze.
“Never even think about touching her again,” Connor spit, his voice so cold that it frightened even you.
The pinned criminal only laughed, an ugly wheezing sound as Connor’s foot dug deeper into his chest. “An android in love, huh? Never thought I’d see–”
Connor’s foot rose quickly, stomping hard on the crook’s face until he was knocked out cold. From the impassive look on Connor’s face, you could tell he was practically seething. But that didn’t matter. Now was not the time to comfort him because you were equally as angry.
With an agitated huff, you shoved Connor by the shoulders as hard as possible. He barely moved at all, only adding fuel to your fire.
It was then that Connor seemed to snap out of his daze and remember you were there. He turned to you abruptly and discarded the gun, his hands finding their place on your biceps with a firm grip. His eyes immediately scanned over your frame, analyzing you for any damage. The only damage he found was what he had done.
The crease between his brows returned as he reached up to touch your throbbing temple. When he pulled his hand back, his elegant fingers were tipped with your blood.
“Did he do this?” Connor questioned, an edge of doubt in his voice.
“No, Connor,” you snapped, shaking off his hands. “You did this! And it wouldn’t have happened if you had just let me do my job for once!”
His LED blinked a steady red. Funny how it matched the blood on your temple.
“Detective, I was only trying to help,” he reasoned feebly.
“I don’t need your fucking help, Connor! I was handling this just fine on my own! And then here you come to save the day yet again, all knight in shining armor! Acting like I’m your damsel in distress, in need of saving!”
“Did you know he was armed?” Connor asked dismissively, quizzically cocking his head in a way that usually enamored you but only seemed to irritate you now.
You opened your mouth to retort, but nothing came out as you processed Connor’s words. Armed? No, you hadn’t known he was armed. But if you admitted that then you would’ve looked stupid, like you needed Connor’s help. Like you were some damsel in distress.
When you didn’t answer, Connor gestured to his forgotten gun. “That was his. He was preparing to shoot you.”
“I could’ve easily disarmed him,” you scoffed, crossing your arms arrogantly. “I’m a trained professional.”
“The probability of success was 29%,” Connor stated matter-of-factually. “A majority of outcomes would have resulted in your death, Detective. I couldn’t take that risk.”
“Then maybe you’re not cut out for this job,” you growled. “This job is all about taking risks, Connor. I knew that when I signed up, and you should too.”
Your harsh tone made Connor pause, though he was quick to recover. He was determined for you to understand.
“If I can prevent your death, then I will. I won’t let your pride stop me,” he said.
It was your turn to pause, lips pursing into a thin line at the reality of Connor’s words. You knew he was right. He was right, he was right, he was right. But you refused to acknowledge that.
When you opened your mouth to speak, nothing came out besides a yelp.
So quickly you could barely process what happened, Connor’s grip on your arms tightened as he spun you around. One arm wrapped around your shoulders to pull you into his chest protectively while his other hand moved to your holstered gun.
A single shot was fired. And an accurate shot, you guessed, by the sound of a slumping body.
Peeking past Connor, you found the body of your runaway criminal, a bullethole pierced right through his skull. You made note of the gun beside his fallen body, the same gun Connor had carelessly discarded.
You felt Connor return your gun to its holster before his hand moved to your chin. He turned your attention away from the dead body, forcing you to focus on him instead.
“I know you’re capable, Detective,” Connor murmured, his voice full of a fondness you hadn’t noticed before. “But that doesn't mean I can’t help. I feel better knowing you’re safe than assuming you are.”
You swallowed hard as you held Connor’s steady gaze. His free hand moved to brush your aching temple. His touch was so gentle you could barely feel it as he wiped away the blood with a frown.
“I only wanted to keep you safe,” Connor explained, his voice holding a tinge of– was that regret? “And I only managed to hurt you myself. Maybe you’re right, Detective. You don’t need me. I’m sorry.”
Your hand moved to tug Connor’s hand away from your temple, holding him in your warm grip. His thumb rubbed against your knuckles soothingly as if it was second nature to him.
“I do. I do need you,” you insisted suddenly, surprising even yourself. One minute, you’re practically yelling at Connor for helping. The next, you’re reassuring him that you’ll always need him. You were confusing even yourself, you couldn’t imagine how confused Connor, the poor android. “I… I do. But… not all the time.”
Again, that crease between Connor’s brows returned, your lips forming a smile at the sight.
“I don’t appreciate you enough,” you continued with a defeated sigh. “I do need you. If it wasn’t for you, I’d already be dead, you’re right. You’ve saved me twice today. But that doesn’t mean I need you to swoop in and save me every single time. I can still handle myself.”
“I know… I know…,” Connor whispered, his eyes unfocused as if lost in thought.
You let a beat of silence pass, watching Connor expectantly. There was something he wanted to say, it was on the tip of his tongue. So you patiently waited until he found the words.
“I don’t want to lose you.”
An android in love.
The criminal’s words replayed in your mind as they suddenly came back to you. At the time, you hadn’t completely processed what he said, your anger outweighing any thoughts of reason.
An android in love.
“Was he… was he right?” you asked after a beat to which Connor tilted his head with a puzzled look. Damn him for not being able to read your mind and immediately know what you were struggling to say. “The guy. What he said… He said that you…”
“Are in love,” Connor finished, his tone flat and conveying not a single sense of love.
“Yeah…,” you shrugged.
“If love can be defined by a desire to keep you safe, then yes, I would say I’m in love with you.”
With you.
With you.
He was in love with you.
You couldn’t hide your wide grin, ignoring the warmth that had suddenly spread to your cheeks. Seeing your grin, the corners of Connor’s lips quirked into a small smile too. Your faces naturally moved closer together until your noses were brushing, the warmth of each other’s breath against your lips.
Connor leaned closer. Closer, closer…
He was going to kiss you, and you were going to ruin it.
“You know,” you interrupted, pulling back no more than an inch. But it was enough to make Connor frown. “I’d rather not kiss next to the dead guy.”
You couldn’t help but laugh as Connor’s smile returned, an affection glint in his eyes. His hand found yours, pulling you away from the scene.
“Backup is on the way,” he said. “They can handle this on their own.”
With his hand in yours, Connor led you away. He gave your hand a quick squeeze. It was a reassurance. A sign that you were safe with him, that he would do whatever it took to protect you. You returned his firm squeeze. Because you would do the same for him.

A/n: thought i would do these for my favourite assassins/templars since i did them for Castlevania. Maybe I'll do them for others
✧･ﾟ: Masterlist :･ﾟ✧
How they kiss you - Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor), Haytham, Jacob, Evie, Shay
Ratonhnhaké:ton
Slow and sweet, like calm waves licking the shore or gentle spring winds flying through leaves. His arms are warm around you, heat seeping through his palms as they grip your waist. Sometimes you can feel his hesitance, how his lips barely touch yours, like you're glass and he's afraid to break you. The rough pads of his thumbs feel like a feather sweeping over your soft chin, though - tentative but endearing.
Haytham
Slow, deep and confident, each kiss from his lips feels expensive and so intoxicating like rich red wine. His palms press ever so slightly against your neck, thumbs cradling your jaw as he tilts your face up towards him. His lips curl as he feels your pulse quicken beneath his fingers, even more so as he pulls away, enjoying the hot flush he brings to your skin and the way he leaves you wanting for more.
Shay
Short, fast and a little playful, Shay takes your breath away everytime. Always quick and always eager, as if he wants to steal all of your attention before someone else does. Sometimes during calm nights on the seas, he likes to take you in his arms and slow dance at the helm of his ship beneath the stars, even as you protest and shy away. He simply laughs and presses an apologetic kiss to your forehead, asking you to suffer a silly moment with him.
Jacob
Wild and passionate, you can never get Jacob to sit down, but when he does, he's gathering you into his lap, his lips pressing open-mouthed kisses to your neck, your collarbone and sometimes...much lower. Many times have his rooks walked in the midst of your...activities, and on more embarrassing occasions, his sister too. Although, not once has he let it bother him or that smug grin.
Evie
Adoring and gentle, Evie leaves you feeling protected and treasured. You take great pleasure in her affections, in the times that her elegant fingers caress your cheeks, and how her perfect lips brush over your knuckles like the softest of silks. Every act she inflicts on your body is pure and heavenly but it feels so sensual and sinful, as if her touch shouldn't feel this good. Regardless, you soak up everything she gives you.

Hey! If you’re currently doing requests, could I please get headcanons for Markus and Connor (separate) reacting to their human love interest getting badly injured during the android uprising because they were helping deviants? Like how they’d be there for them afterwards, how they’d feel about the situation, etc.
Authors note: I LOVE ME SOME GOOD ANGST
Pairing(s): Markus x reader and Connor x reader
⚠Warnings⚠: Angst, hurt/comfort, mentions of injuries but nothing graphic, mentions of blood
☮ Markus ☮
-Markus is most definitely panicking a little on the inside but tries to remain calm and collected on the inside
-When bandaging up your wounds he's muttering to himself and to you as he does so
-"You're gonna be ok. Everything alright, sweetheart. How could I let this happen?"
-He's even shaking a little as he tries to comfort you
-He feels as if he holds a lot of responsibility for what happened, especially being the leader of the revolution and all
-After your bleeding had stopped and you were now recovering, Markus never left your side once
-Well, only to get you stuff you needed like medicine or water
-He's apologizing profusely the entire time. Probably to the point where you're the one comforting him
-DEFINITELY kisses your bandages whenever he gets the chance
-During your recovery, every day he would cuddle you in his arms and whisper sweet nothings to you
-Even after you've recovered he still feels extremely responsible for what happened
-His protectiveness of you doubled after this incident
🪙 Connor 🪙
-He's not hiding his panicked state at all
-Once he sees just how severe you're injuries are, he's running back and forth, grabbing bandages and medicine
-He's speaking so quickly to you and it all sounds like gibberish because of your blood loss
-He def doesn't realize this poor thing he's trying his best
-"How are you feeling? Am I tying this too tight? You're losing a lot of blood."
-After he managed to bandage your wounds he is tending to your every need
-Trust me. you. will. be. pampered.
-He hates seeing you hurt so he may or may take that out on the people who hurt you
-They just mysteriously disappear
-It's honestly pretty romantic that he goes out and hunts down the ones who hurt you
-When you are in recovery he's constantly talking with you about random things
-Whether it be random facts or things he did that day you loved to listen to him ramble on
-Whenever he had to leave your side he left a loving kiss on your forehead

Dating connor headcanons
He's so sweet, dear God.
Ask for anything and he'd do it for you.
There will be moments where you're like, "Honey, you didn't actually have to do that. i was gonna do that in just a moment"
Sometimes you worry, he thinks he still needs to surve because of it. Eventually, you told him you felt bad about him doing everything for you and how you worry he still feels rhe need to be a machine and just goes, "I know I don't have to. I choose to." You get a little confused, and he continues."I want to help you. I can stop if you don't like it?"
After you start dating, he definitely asks Hank about advice a lot.
"Hank, how does one... swoon a girl?"
"Hank, what do people look for in a relationship?"
"How do you go about pleasuring someone?"
Dear lord poor Hank.
Eventually, connor downloads some programs to help him better understand the art or romance. To say he's bad at it, he understands the basics, and of corse he loves you, but it all feels a bit... stiff. He doesn't quite get it yet. He's too formal. He's so used to his profession making things very cut and dry, straightforward. He needs to relax .
Just let him adjust. He'll pick up on it.
He loves trying new things with you. He has so many date ideas. Ice skating, amusement parks, paint ball (rip fr), crafting
He thought it'd be fun to take you on a paint ball date, and you lost instantly. In hindsight, you both realized that was a bad idea. He was programed to hunt deviants after all. With the athletic and shooting skills he's equipped with you walked out coated in paint and welts for days
It's OK, though. He apologized profusely and took care of all your wounds with so much love. Made sure your baths were at the perfect temperature, always had ice ready, creams on the ready dude was practically your stay at home nurse, lol. You insisted you were fine, but he wouldn't back down.
Ever sense deviancey he's started alot of new hobbies. Painting, ceramics, cooking, gardening. From each new hobby, he gifts you little crafts. Romantic paintings, mugs, flowers, your favorite meals. And when ever he picks up a new hobby you make sure to buy him what ever supplies he needs.
He does so much for you, you love to give back.
He loves receiving hugs and kisses oml.
A hug from behind will make him melt, or a kiss on the jaw can make him weaken at the knees, he loves physicality.
He especially loves those nights where you both are wrapped in cozy blankets, and one of you is lying on top of the other. It'll turn him into mush. He feels so happy
He trusts you so much
I hate to say it, but he often worries he's not a good enough partner because his deminor is so... stiff, even compared to other androids. When he eventually expressed this concern, you admitted you worried the same thing about yourself.
He was extremely baffled as to why, and you, of course, explained. He's so perfect and caring. He's always doing tasks for you and making things for you. You often felt you couldn't keep up and return the generosity the way he did.
When you told him you thought of him as perfect, it made him extremely flustered.
Of corse, he reassured you how great of a partner you were. So caring and supportive of his endeavors, always making sure he's alright, he just felt so much trust.
Ug, the relief you both felt.
He'd definitely wanna get a dog with you. When you expressed you wanted one, he got very enthusiastic at the idea. Lots of resurch into different breeds.
One day, you came home to a spreadsheet of dog breeds and all their stats. It was overwhelming.
Eventually, you two compromised and got something like a staffy. (Or whatever you want ofc)
He's very protective of you. Sometimes, he is a little overprotective. If he has the sense someone hitting on you, he'd slide up so fast and passively try to scre that person off. There have been a few moments where he misidentified someone just talking to you with flirting. You had to explain the situation to him and he felt bad afterward. You appreciate the thought, though. You really do.
Enough about what he does for you. We need to go back to what he like you doing for him. Cause he does so much
You looked into engineering to help with small repairs. You don't exactly have the brains of a cyberlife engineer, but you can fix small bugs and replace any damaged parts.
One day, he came back from a mission, a few dents, a shot leg. Nothing to critical but still concerning.
"Oh god, are you alright?"
"Just a few minor injuries. I can go in for repairs tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Sweet heart, your shot."
"I can't feel pain, remember? I'm fine, I promise."
You insist on helping out and he accepts. He hasn't admitted it yet but he loves the care you put into repairs.
You'd roll up the sleeve of his pants and carefully remove the white plastic shell, patiently fix any broken wires. Tenderly clean the thirium leaks, replace the plastic with a new, not shot one. And carefully buff out any dents he had.
You somehow managed to get your hands on a few bags on thirium, so you replaced whatever he bleed.
You taking care of him like this always makes him blush. The amount of attention to detail and care you had was very admirable.
He'd always kiss you afterward.
He loves to dance with you. If you plan a date to somewhere nice and secluded and play some music... dear Lord, he's gonna be love sick. Slow dancing, whether you're good at it or not, makes him so happy. He'll absolutely teach you if you can't, it'd be so romantic.
He installed a warming system in his body after starting the relationship with you
One night, you came home freezing, and you threw on a heated blanket, trying to warm up. And he got an idea
A few weeks pass, and a snow storm blows over detroit. You are about to grab the heated blanket again, but you can't find it. You opted for grabbing a normal one and cuddling with connor instead. Suddenly, the body below you starts to warm up.
"Do you like it? I recently installed a heating function to properly warm you if you needed."
He likes to call you pet names every now and then.
At first the practice was confusing to him. He was aware of the practice and why people did it, on a technical sense, but to have it actually happen to him felt a little strange at first.
He quickly grew to love all the little pet names you gave him
He really likes sweet heart, sweetness, honey, prince charming, etc.
Eventually he started giving you pet names as well
The same ones you call him mostly. Though he definitely got experimental and called you a bunch of weird ones for a few weeks.
Sexual
Oh, the possibilities of a robot lover
Before we start with that, his introduction to a sexual relationship. It's not what he was built for, but he goes into shops to get some upgrades ;)
He's switchy for sure.
He can dom if you want him to and he'd happy to ablige.
Boy, is he good at intimidation. With all that interrogation software, he can be as mean as you want him to be.
He really likes to pin you down.
And tease you. Dear God he loves to tease you rip fr.
You can be tied up, and he's graising your skin and talking about all the things he wants to do to you, getting you riled up and flustered is probably the most rewarding thing.
He'll make you beg after teasing for sure. Don't worry, he's not too cruel about it unless you want him to be.
Sub connor
He loves to be tied up and pinned down, too.
Hand cuffs, with his own tie, belts. The more creative you get it excites him.
And make him beg. Don't be too harsh with him, but he loves the desperate feeling
Praising. Praise him, PLEASE. It'll make him a mess.
Tell him he's a good boy, tell him he's so beautiful, tell him what a good job he's doing just... ug.
Every now and then I feel like he'd like edging.
Certainly not something he frequents and prefers not to, but on rare occasions, he'll suggest that he wants to do edging. Give him all the kisses when you're done.
He hates to admit it but he likes getting a little steamy at work.
He knows not to do it to frequently, and avoids the frequent practice
But on occasion, he allows it, and when he does, he's really into it.
Seeking off into bathrooms, janitorial closets, exchanging touches under desks. The desperate and secretness of it all excites him
And roleplay. He's very into role play.
Cop and criminal (of corse), massage therapist and client, professor and student, strangers
He likes giving and receiving roles for all of them.
Though if he's the sub, he can be bad at staying in character. He'll put up a convincing act until you get him hot and bothered. The closer he gets the role slips from him lol
Now, let's finally explore all the updates he's gotten.
His dick definitely moves on its own. Like one of those sex toys that thrusts inside of you.
And it vibrates. What doesn't vibrate, really? His fingers, palms, tongue
All sorts of new mobility features in his hips to get the smoothest movement.
Ok, I got this idea, and I feel like I can leave it out, but if you request it, he'd look into aphrodisiac dispensers in his mouth so when you swap spit, kisses can lull yiu further into lust.

Robin's Solangelo Fic Recs
many of these fics are old or have a lot of attention already, but if you're antsy waiting for The Sun and the Star to come out, here are some solangelo fics to fill your brain with heart emojis!
double-crossed, star-crossed, fingers-crossed by orphan account - 2.2k - During their first kiss, Nico sees Will glowing, but keeps it to himself. Will doesn’t even know he’s doing it until someone else sees them kissing and gets very flustered. Soooo cute
echoes of lies that i told by demigodbeautiies - 29.9k - College AU, Nico agrees to be Will’s fake boyfriend for Naomi’s wedding. He curses himself later when he catches real feelings, assuming Will would never actually see him that way (spoiler alert: he would).
My memories of you by Fl_utterby - 56.1k - Will is cursed by Niobe to lose his memories, including his years-long relationship with Nico. When he shows up at Camp Jupiter, Nico arrives to take him to Camp Half-Blood in a cross-country quest with Reyna. Bittersweet and soft with a happy ending!
i could be your hero by sundaysabotage - 10.8k - a few years down the line, now that Percy Jackson is off at college, Nico finds himself in an unexpected position of senior authority at Camp Half-Blood. It’s not easy to reconcile with his own self-image. Light on the solangelo, mostly a Nico character study, but very good!!
The Rose of Paphos by Tundras_and_Taigas - 19.3k - The Aphrodite cabin unearths a magic item that indicates whether the holder has romantic feelings for someone, and discover that Will has a big crush on some person he won’t identify. Nico finds out about this and gets in his head about who that person could be. Feelings ensue! Also has a whole chapter for Mitchell/Connor if that’s your thing. Very cute and soft with a nice take on the Aphrodite cabin.
our lips set the sun by @thebhorror - 4.1k - a soft first kiss that Nico has spent 10 months agonizing over. In-character and sweet with a delightful payoff.
lich by @pinkerpick - 2.6k - content warning for death, torture, injury, and suicide! Since Thanatos was chained while Nico was in Tartarus, he dies many times and always comes back still trapped in the pit. Also light on the solangelo and more about Nico, this is some seriously well-done angst. The follow-up fic, penitent, wherein Nico confronts Hades about the events of this fic, is also very very good!
i bleed for your love by flannelfeelings - 7.5k - Nico semi-unintentionally keeps getting himself hurt so he can hang out with Will in the infirmary, because he is too repressed to just ask Will to hang out. Super well written, heartwrenching character voice, and butterflies-inducing romance!
Austin’s Best Barbecue also by flannelfeelings - 3.8k - Will gets hurt protecting Nico from a monster, so Nico shadow travels against doctor’s orders to Austin to get Will some of his favorite comfort food from home. While there, he accidentally meets Will's mother for the first time. Super super cute and funny, this author has great fics!
Falling for You (Literally) by peanutbutterapple - 4.8k - Nico is acting weird before he visits Hazel at Camp Jupiter. On his return, before Will can ask him about it, Drew Tanaka pranks everyone with a magic hat that makes the wearer feel their romantic feelings very intensely for everyone to see. So adorable and Nico’s reason for his weird behavior is the best thing.
Opportunity Knocks by nikkiRA - 35.5k - Nico tries to kiss Will, who freaks out and rejects him. Nico decides the same day to run away from Camp Half-Blood, but is intercepted by some meddlesome gods who trap him in a time-loop. He repeats the same day over and over until he can find out what it is he was supposed to fix about this day. I love a good Groundhog Day AU and this one is awesome!!
constant craving (however hard i want, i never really get) by @thebhorror - 5.5k - another banger character study focusing on Nico’s unmet (and then met) need for affection throughout his character arc. A very believable and heart wrenching deliberation on Nico’s character arc and how his relationship with Will complements it!
there are so many lives i want to share with you by penandblankpaper (@kiarrahatesboys) - 8.7k (so far) - still a WIP but a WIP that slaps, this is a post-ToN, pre-TSatS solangelo mini-quest story. Rachel informs Will and Nico that they need to take a journey with no goal before they go to Tartarus or they will die. Lots of soft banter and gentle familiarity with a bullet train of angst incoming! Please read it (for me) please please please
Bonus: Solace by solisaureus (that’s me!) - 73k - A Will character study to complement all these Nico character studies, this work spans the entire narrative across all three series. This is my longest PJO fic and the one I poured the most love into! Though the fic is about Will and his coming of age, there’s plenty of solangelo in here.
I (and many of the other authors in this list) also write a ton of other PJO fics so do check those out too!! :) happy reading!!!

ok i have no idea if i’m doing this right because i’ve literally never requested anything before 😦
but i love your writing so i’ll risk it 🫶🫶🫶
ok so i was wondering if you could do a connor stoll x daughter of apollo reader hcs?? i love him but you’re like the only person i’ve found that writes him good 😅
sorry if i did that wrong lol… love you tho!!! ��
-☀️
⋆⭒˚.⋆ connor stoll x daughter of apollo! reader hcs
content: connor stoll x daughter of apollo! reader hcs
warning: little tiny baby angst but that's it. unless there's language, which there very well could be lmao
author's note: my beautiful sunny anon, you did it correctly, no stress!! also, this is for you and @imasimpdealwithit , who also asked for our bby boy connor with an apollo reader!!
smiley boy with his sunshine girl frfr
the sun jokes and pet names are endless
bro is fr walking up to you and throwing his arms around you, humming 'you are my sunshine' every time
loves loves loves stealing whatever is taking your attention away from him
be it poetry books, medical tools, or bows
if it is splitting your time with him, it's already missing before you have time to think about it
and you both know that connor took it ever time
and every time he plays dumb
"give it back."
"no hello? no i missed you? some girlfriend you are-"
"give. back. my. poems."
"but they're so sweet and clearly about me- OUCH!"
"ILL BREAK ALL YOUR BONES AS MEDICAL PRACTICE!'
so cute
is your number one defender at all times
if he so much as hears whispers that someone doesn't like you, they are instantly on the stoll's prank list
and these are not 'silly goofy' pranks anymore, these are 'send you to the infirmary' level pranks
which is where you welcome them, covered in glitter and cuts, knowing exactly who sent them
and you can't find it in yourself to tell your protective boyfriend off, even finding it slightly romantic
loves loves loves taking pictures of you
(im back on my hermes children take good candids grind, you already know)
his favs are when the sun is just setting or rising and you look just ethereal
it's probs that natural apollo glow, ya know??
will ALWAYS steal for you
"look, baby, i got you a new ring!!'
"aww, it's perfect- wait, i could have sworn one of the new campers had a ring just like this-"
"don't think too much about it."
"CONNIE!"
"DO YOU LOVE IT OR NOT??"
"I MEAN I LOVE IT BUT-"
"WORTH IT THEN."
he carried a pic of you in his wallet, purposefully flipping it open dramatically whenever he (rarely) pays for things
he's basically begging the cashier to ask about you and get's all pouty when they don't
prefers to sleep in your cabin as it's (barely) less crowded
at first your siblings were weary of him, preferring their stuff not stolen, but after forcing him to swear on the river styx to not steal their stuff and always bring snacks when he came over, he was more than welcome by cabin seven
sometimes connor gets really sad to see new campers leave to their real cabins, this sinking feeling of being forgotten and left for dead taking over his soul
he'd always seek you out, his sunshine girl.
you could always tell when he was in these moods, instantly opening your arms up and squeezing him to your chest, kisses planted against his temple and whispers of never leaving his side following suit
and just like that, he's okay again!!
you always knew the right thing to say to get him feeling better, of course
but he wasn't sure if it was the medical gifts of your father or the poetic ones
either way, he was more than grateful for his sunshine girl
and you couldn't be happier with your little thief

I ADORE your ocs !! Would you be willing to share some info about Cheryl ? She's so darn cute, I love her color scheme so much <3 You mentioned her being a tailor– would she make her own outfits as the story progresses or perhaps have a lot of outfits in general ? And how does her relationship with her brother fare ? Are they close ? Feel free to not answer, I'm just fascinated now
Thanks so much! I appreciate your interest in them ❤️
Cheryl is an oc that is very dear to me, and she’s the character that represents the more sweet and tender side to my story. Her profession as a tailor alludes to her incredibly caring and hardworking nature. She’ll work her hardest to make sure you’re comfortable and that your suit looks absolutely splendid. I always enjoy putting her in many different outfits to make up for the lack of clothes my other protagonists have (Connor and Wallace both wear uniforms; the former figuratively and the latter literally), and I added the additional detail that she has an interest in archiving old clothing.
She has a great relationship with her brother, and I enjoy playing around with the dynamic of the small older sister and the freakishly tall younger brother. However, the two could not be more different in personality. Wallace is a party animal and is happily known by everyone, whereas Cheryl works alone in her shop while listening to the radio. Fortunately, this doesn’t sway them from being fiercely protective and thoughtful of one another.
For an additional small detail, she’s a big fan of romance and is absolutely the type to cry at a good drama or book.

I just got finished with a spy x family episode and this came up! What about DBH boys (Connor, Simon, Markus) With a female reader who is just like Yor Forger!
She’s very sweet looking, and nobody would suspect she packs quite a mean punch when protecting someone or herself, and unusually strong!
Hey anon! So sorry about the wait on this. I'll be honest part of it is due to me not knowing anything about spy x family, so I will just be going off the little description you've given in this ask! And it certainly won't stop me from trying.
Each Connor, Simon, and Markus would initially find the reader quite unassuming. To say they underestimate her is not exactly accurate, but they certainly don't expect the strength and punch she packs.
Connor witnessed it during a case. He's in the process of analyzing some evidence at a crime scene when he hears a disturbance. It was an argument, from what he could tell, between you and someone else trying to tamper with the crime scene or simply initiating some aggression because, like Connor, they misjudge exactly how strong you could be. At the sound of raised voices - yours being one of them - Connor is quick to make his way over to the disturbance, intending to intervene if necessary. Though, it quickly becomes apparent that it isn't necessary.
You've knocked the aggressor clean on their ass. One punch to the face was enough to send them falling backwards right on their ass. You probably even broke their nose. Connor, he's... well, to be honest, he's a little surprised. You aren't often in situations such as this one. And while you do work for the DPD, it's not often he sees you demonstrate exactly why you were hired in the first place.
Even though you punched someone to the point of a concussion, Connor can't help but still make sure you're okay. Physically, mentally, whatever, he wants to make sure the encounter didn't shake you up too bad. Even if you've assured you're fine and that he doesn't need to check you over, he's still doing a scan, just to be sure.
This is something he certainly does not forget about you. And while he still worries, given the fact that your appearance is deceiving compared to your actual ability, he's a little more at ease to know that you can hold your own when you need to. He's aware that people will go for those who seem weaker, and while he knows you aren't weak, at a glance, people are quick to think otherwise about you.
---
Simon, while not a coward, does prefer to take the pacifist route at any given opportunity. You're someone who's the same, unless you have absolutely no choice. And that was the case here. You were with Simon, just the two of you. You had excused yourself to the bathroom, and on your way back, you see that someone had approached Simon, and you noticed that Simon was less than comfortable about the interaction. It wasn't until you were a few steps away that you could hear exactly what was going on.
It was some anti-android guy going off - he must have recognized Simon someone. Which, come on, he's not the only PL600 to exist. Whatever, it didn't matter. What mattered was this guy was going off on Simon, and while Simon was trying to defuse the situation, he wasn't getting anywhere successful. Simon was trying to talk the other down, but the guy seemed pissed, which started to piss you off. It didn't help that the guy suddenly grabbed Simon - that's when you knew you had to step in.
"Hey!" Was all you said, which seemed to startle the guy long enough for you to grab his shoulder, turning him so you could swiftly punch him in the gut. He quickly doubled over, falingl to the ground, and Simon stumbled back, staring at the scene in shock. His mouth was agape as he looked between you and the guy, now groaning on the ground. There was even a slight tint of blue on Simon's face at the sight, which you may have noticed if you weren't still upset with the interaction.
"Whoa... I didn't know you had that in you..." Simon said, nearly stepping towards the guy to help him. But he stopped himself, mainly because you held your hand out to stop him.
"There's a lot you don't know about me," you responded, looking over to him and managing a smile. Despite the circumstances, it was cute to see the way Simon reacted to this.
"What, so we just... leave him?"
"Well, he was a prick, soo..."
---
Markus was often used to being the protector. And with you, it was a no brainer that you were someone he felt drawn to protect. And it was cute, and you never had a problem with it. But sometimes even the protector needs a little helping hand. Especially when you've got no problem fighting your own battles.
Being the leader of the android revolution meant that Markus got a lot of attention. And being a close friend of the leader of the android revolution meant you got a lot of attention as well. Both good and bad. This was an instance of the bad. Some name calling, some yelling, asking how you could ever support something like this when all the androids do is take and take and blah blah blah.
Really, you weren't listening. You had grown used to it at this point, it was something you could easily tune out.
Though, it was clear that the people nagging you were not a fan of being ignored. Markus was only a little ways ahead of you, but it was still enough of a distance that he couldn't stop the way they grabbed you to look at them. A small struggle ensued, which caught Markus' attention. He was quick to rush over to you, pulling off one of the two attacking you, but it seemed you had the rest of it under control.
A quick knee between the legs was enough to throw them off their balance, then an elbow to the chest knocked the wind out of them long enough for you to get away. As you escaped their grasp, you kept yourself ready, knees bent, arms up, ready for anything more they had to throw your way. Of course, the kerfuffle was enough to get the attention from onlookers, and the attackers found it best to avoid further humiliation.
With them submitting to defeat, Markus looked to you, first making sure you were okay. Once that was settled, he found himself looking at you with an impressed smile. "Maybe you should be the one protecting me," he joked.
"Maybe," You said, relaxing now that you weren't in danger anymore. "At least I'd know you'd be safer."
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing."

Connor(RK800) X F.Reader - Safe heaven (Part 4)
Hart Plaza
10 August 2040 - 12:37
Michigan, Detroit
In Connor's mind, the same scene from last night played over and over again. Y/N lying on his body, kissing intimately... It had been beautiful and Connor would have been willing to take another step. But was she ready for it? And what if he would do something wrong? Even accidentally hurt her? He had never done it before. Of course he could exchange all databases about sex and tenderness, but still the android was nervous. He cared a lot about Y/N, and he wanted to make her happy.
"Connor!"
Connor's LED lit up yellow as Hank addressed him for the third time now.
"Oh, sorry Lieutenant..."
Hank frowned as he took a sip from his soft drink.
"What's wrong with you, Connor?"
The android was silent at first, but he felt the need to talk to Hank about his feelings. The two had known each other for two years now and together they had been through a lot. Hank was like a father to Connor. And now here they both sat, in Hank's car, watching and, if necessary, arresting a suspected drug dealer.
"Hank, can I ask you something?"
"Uh huh?"
Hank bit into his sandwich, waiting to hear what Connor might have on his mind.
"It... it's about Y/N."
That's when the old lieutenant's ears perked up and he gulped down the bite before wrapping the sandwich back up in the bread paper.
Hank wasn't stupid. He knew Y/N and Connor had a huge soft spot for each other. But what the two of them were up to in his house, he didn't know.
"I... really like Y/N a lot."
The android sighed as he let himself sink all the way back into the seat and looked outside into the distance.
"Okay. So?"
Hank wondered what was bothering and tormenting the android. Y/N, on the other hand, seemed to be doing better than ever. He knew it was because of Connor, and if Y/N was doing well with the android, then they both had Hank's blessing. But what was Connor racking his brains over?
"Well, last night, we got closer. I... You... Well, Hank..."
"God, Connor, no! What have you been doing on my couch?! I sleep on there most of the time, for God sake!"
"Easy Hank! We haven't done anything!"
"I should hope so!"
Hank grumbled deeply, and sighed another deep "God." As much as he liked the two of them, his couch was not being messed with!
Hank took a big gulp of his drink before looking at Connor, waiting for him to continue talking.
"Connor, come on. What's wrong?"
"I keep thinking about Steven. About what else must have happened that night. I can't stand the thought of that asshole raping her!"
Hank nodded silently as he continued to listen to Connor. He listened to him pour out his whole heart. Hank could understand that this whole story had hurt him and he knew why it had. The lieutenant smiled slightly as it only proved how much Connor liked Y/N.
"Hank, I care a lot for Y/N and I want to be closer to her. But how can I do that if I don't know if..."
♦♦♦♦
"Listen, son. I know it's not an easy situation. Shit, I mean! There's a lot you're feeling all at once!"
Hank could guess how hard it must be for Connor to understand and accept how many feelings were coming at him. That Connor was more unsettled didn't surprise the lieutenant.
"Hank... what else happened that night?"
There had been another interview at the police station, but Connor had not been there. Hank, accordingly, knew more than he did.
"I can't ask her about it! She's starting to get better and I don't want to ruin her mood by bringing up this guy. I just... can't stand to see her tortured!"
"Connor..."
"Lieutenant... please..."
Hank saw that lost look on Connor's face, saw how distraught he was. Hank sighed softly, nodded gently several times.
"Okay. Okay, Connor..."
Maybe Y/N should tell on his own, but he couldn't keep Connor in the dark. The android was so desperate and probably didn't trust himself to approach Y/N about the evening.
"She described everything to me again. And she..."
But he didn't get any further; the suspect was just leaving the building across the street and there was no way Hank was going to lose sight of him, especially since the suspected guy seemed to be in a hurry.
"Shit... We've got to get after him!"
Connor sighed, because the timing couldn't have been shittier. Together with Lieutenant Hank, he left the car. The conversation between Connor and Hank would probably have to wait...
Hank's house
10 August 2040 - 19:14
Michigan, Detroit
Y/N was emptying the dishwasher. She was helping Hank out a bit as long as she got to live with him. In a week, she could then move into her own apartment, which was not far from Hank's place. The thought comforted her, knowing that she would always have a place of refuge if she ever needed anything. Although she was alone more often than not, she felt especially lonely at the moment. She had made great progress with her fears and memories regarding Steven but every now and then, unpleasant memories would come up. As she cleaned up the dishes, she thought of all the times Steven had called her stupid, because she might have burned the food once or, in his opinion, salted it indelibly. Or all the times the kitchen wasn't tidy enough. These many, little things kept coming back to her, hurting her deeply, and Y/N wondered what she had done to deserve such treatment. Why had Steven tortured her like this? After all, he could have left if he had been so unhappy with her. But instead he had chosen to turn her life into a living hell.
The first tears formed in her eyes, obscuring her vision, but she made no sound. She just let the tears run down her face, her cheeks began to glow, until she eventually sobbed out loud. Instantly, she put aside the cup she had been holding and leaned against the counter, burying her face in her hands as she finally burst into tears. Y/N didn't know what was happening to her. But from the looks of it, the pain was still so deep inside her that she wanted to cry. So much had built up inside her.
"Y/N?"
The young woman startled slightly when she heard Hank's voice and when she turned around, she accidentally threw one of the plates on the floor, which then lay in two halves in front of her. Y/N looked at the plate, feeling just as broken and lost at the moment.
"Hey, kiddo. Connor's with... me..."
Hank saw the young woman's face and instantly worried about her. He fell silent, but walked up to her and stopped right in front of her.
"Sorry... I didn't mean to" she whispered, pointing at the broken plate. But Hank just smiled warmly at her and shook his head. What did one broken object matter? Nothing at all.
"It's all right, sweetheart. It's okay..."
Y/N snuggled into the Lieutenant's arms, crying softly as he just held her. Connor watched the whole thing from the living room and suffered with Y/N.
"Hank..."
The young woman sobbed, burying her face deeper against his chest, and he just held her quietly for as long as she wanted. The lieutenant glanced at Hank and the android returned his gaze with a pained expression...
It was still the same night and Y/N came only slowly to rest. It was already one o'clock in the morning, but she was still awake in Connor's arms. It was good to have him around, to feel how much security and love he gave her. At some point her tears had dried up as well, only silence surrounded them both in the arms of the night. Here, in their room, in the soft sheets.
"Nothing was ever right for him. There was always a reason he got violent. Always a reason to yell at me..."
Outside, a heavy summer rain was raging. Now and then you could hear it thundering softly.
"..."
Connor clenched his jaw tightly as he stroked her hair gently, though.
"I was thinking about him. Sometimes... in one moment, these memories come up and I can't turn them off. It's like I'm still seeing everything clearly in front of me," she whispered.
"Y/N..."
"And in those moments I feel helpless, alone and lost..."
Connor squeezed her gently, pressing a kiss to her head, closing his eyes as he did so.
"And that awful night, he tried to.... me..."
The young woman could hardly say it, too hideous was simply the memory of what had happened. She had just seen that knife in front of her, had screamed for him to stop this shit. But his look had been so cold. So empty and cold... as if a demon had looked at her. A soulless being. Yes, that was the correct term.
"Did... he rape you, Y/N?"
Connor needed to know, and he needed to know everything. Hank hadn't told him in the end, because in the end it was Y/N's decision to talk about the details.
"..."
Y/N remained silent for a long time and Connor thought his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Had he gotten too close to her after all? He didn't move, but waited for any reaction from her.
"He... forced himself on me. Tried to take by force what I wouldn't give him. But I didn't let that happen, Connor..."
Hearing her words, relief showed on his face. Connor closed his eyes, processing her words, hugging her tighter again.
"And then he got really angry, hitting me, ripping my clothes, trying to intimidate me. But I wasn't going to take it anymore, Connor. It had to end," she softly stated. "That's when I ran out of the house and called Hank."
Connor remembered the call very well. They had been on the scene within minutes and had found Y/N. Terrified and shaking all over.
"Then I saw him... with the knife in his hand, he had come outside to me. And..."
She broke off the conversation, not wanting to talk about it anymore, not being able to. It was so damn hard for her.
"It's okay. It's okay, Y/N... You go to sleep now..." She had to be very exhausted. "I'll stay with you."
"Thank you, Connor... I'm so glad to have found you. I love you," she whispered as she closed her eyes. Connor had to comprehend her words first, his LED light turned yellow, rotating rapidly, and he blinked a few times before answering her.
"I..." He moistened his lips with his tongue "I love you too, Y/N. Very much..."
You were sleeping so peacefully and I didn't have the heart to wake you. I miss you already and can't wait to hold you in my arms tonight.
The next morning the sun was shining. There was no trace of the thunderstorm that had raged during the night. It was early in the morning when Y/N woke up. She had expected Connor to be lying next to her, but that was not the case. Slowly she opened her eyes and found the side of the bed next to her empty.
"Connor?"
Presumably he had already left for work. As Y/N slowly sat up, she saw a red rose placed next to her on the empty side of the bed. A soft smile crept onto her lips. Connor had also left a little note...
I love you.
Connor
Y/N took the rose and smelled it. A very delicate fragrance emanated from it and she took great pleasure in Connor's gesture. Her heart beat like crazy when she thought of how they had both confessed their love to each other. It had come easily to her lips and she was incredibly happy to have finally said it.
Next chapter coming soon...

show!Luke Castellan x daughter of thanatos!reader
DISCLAIMER: I don’t own the image above or any of Rick Riordan’s characters/world-building.
⚠️Warnings⚠️: swearing, slight angst, mentions of parental neglect
A/N: let the dark!couple arc begin :)
You and Luke were in Elysium for a whole month.
After your first kiss, Luke immediately asked you to be his girl. And of course, you said yes.
Every resident of Camp Half-Blood knew of your union by the campfire that night. You weren’t exactly sure how, but you suspected that Aphrodite’s children had noticed the sudden change in your dynamic. They had a reputation for spreading gossip like wildfire.
Most of your fellow demigods were stunned by the new development, save for the other residents of the Hermes Cabin.
“We saw it coming from miles away,” Travis Stoll had told you at dinner one night, giving you and Luke a cheeky grin. “The way you looked at him and the way he followed you around made it obvious.”
“Yeah,” his brother Connor agreed. “Luke’s usually pretty tough on everyone else, but he’s so soft with you.”
They both proceeded to make obnoxious kissing noises at you, making Luke groan loudly and bury his face in his hands. You had just laughed, and leaned your head against his shoulder.
Being with Luke had heightened your spirits immensely. No longer did you appear stoic and un-phased. You laughed, smiled, and socialized with campers, satyrs, and nymphs alike. It surprised them, and some of them were still afraid of you at first, but they warmed up to you eventually. You felt more accepted than ever.
Sure, some people openly disliked your relationship. They said you weren’t good enough for your boyfriend. That you were like a bad omen, and you’d just bring him pain and suffering. That he would be better off with a child of Aphrodite, or Athena, or anyone else but you.
It didn’t bother you a lot. In fact, you only told Luke about it because you found it amusing.
He was not amused.
He’d pulled the people who slandered your relationship aside and threaten to target them during the next Capture the Flag game. The negative remarks stopped immediately after.
Luke was the best boyfriend you could’ve ever asked for. He was attentive, sweet, and protective. He made it clear that he adored you, and only you. You still trained vigorously together, but it was much more fun. Besides, no matter if you won or lost, you were rewarded with a kiss.
Everything was perfect.
Then, the gods had to go and fuck it up.
.
.
.
“Where in Hades have you been?”
Luke winced at your sharp tone. You hadn’t meant to sound upset, you were simply worried that he had vanished after the campfire instead of meeting you back at Cabin 11.
He stepped towards you and took your hand.
“We need to talk. Somewhere more private.”
As he lead you off of the porch of Cabin 11 and towards the woods, your heart pounded. Was he mad at you? Had you done something wrong?
After walking for awhile, Luke halted. He was still gripping your hand, as if he was afraid you’d disappear if he let go.
He turned towards you, and in the silver moonlight, you could see that his eyes glittered with anger.
You reached up to cup his cheek, and he leaned into your touch. “What’s wrong?”
Luke sighed. “I just got visited by my fath-Hermes.”
You stared at him. “You’re fucking kidding.”
“I’m not. He offered me a quest.”
You felt your anger begin to boil. After ignoring Luke for basically his whole life, Hermes decided to just waltz in pretending to care about him by giving him a chance to be a hero?
“I’m going to kill him.”
It wasn’t just Luke who had become incredibly protective. You would become a bit very violent when someone crossed or hurt your boyfriend, just as he would for you.
“Angel,” Luke sighed. “That’s not how it works.”
“I know, I know. Sorry, I just got upset on your behalf.”
He gave you a small smile, but it quickly faded. He let go of your hand, which made you frown slightly. “The quest I was given is simple: steal a Golden Apple from The Garden of Hesperides.”
You racked your brain, trying to recall anything you knew about the Garden. “Is that the tree that Gaea gifted Zeus when he married Hera?”
“That’s the one.”
You bit the inside of your cheek. “This seems like a pointless quest. You gain nothing from it, you’re not solving any problems or saving anyone. Besides, didn’t Heracles do the exact same thing millennia ago?”
Luke’s jaw clenched, and you could tell he was irritated. “Yeah, yeah he did.”
“So you’re going to turn Hermes down, right?“
He looked away from you. Even though he was silent, you knew exactly what he was thinking.
“No, Luke, you can’t do this! It makes no sense, you wouldn’t gain anyth-“
“Yes, I would!” Luke insisted. “I haven’t gotten a real chance to prove myself in all three years I’ve been at camp!”
“You don’t need to prove anything to anyone!” you exclaimed, not caring if you were being too loud. “Luke, you’re already an incredible fighter and a respected leader. What else could you possibly want?”
“Glory.”
“Then wait for a better opportunity. Wait for the Oracle to give you a real quest, don’t just take orders from your deadbeat, asshole of a father.”
“Angel, listen to me.” Luke’s tone was firm but gentle. “I want to do this. Not because of my father. I want a chance to do something that people will talk about, something that will prove once and for all that I’m not to be messed with.”
You looked at him, and you knew he had made up his mind.
“You’re not gonna change your mind, are you?”
“No.”
You stepped towards him, taking hold of his forearm softly. “Fine. Then I’m going with you.”
“Angel-“
“It’s not up for debate. We’re a team, Castellan, and I’m your girl. I’m not letting you do this alone.”
Luke put a hand on your waist, the other one reaching up to brush the hair out of your face. “Okay. You can come.”
“Good.”
He let out a quiet chuckle, placing a kiss on your forehead. “You’re so stubborn.”
“So are you,” you retorted, resting your head against his chest. Your eyes fluttered shut, the feeling of fatigue beginning to set in.
“You tired?” he asked, petting your hair gently.
“Yeah,” you murmured. “Let’s go back to the cabin.”
As you laid in bed that night, wrapped in Luke’s embrace, you realized that you should’ve fought harder to make him deny the quest. It really wasn’t worth it for him to risk his life for some stupid golden apple.
But he was hellbent on going. And you knew you couldn’t stop him. So, the next-best thing was to join him.
After all, when you fought side-by-side, you never failed.
________________________________________________
“Are you two absolutely sure about this?”
Chiron stood at the top of Half-Blood Hill, the shade provided by Thalia’s tree casting a shadow on his face.
“Yes,” you and Luke said in unison.
Both of you were carrying medium-sized backpacks full of supplies needed for your journey. You had each packed a canteen of nectar, four squares of ambrosia, a change of clothes, all of the cash you owned (which wasn’t a lot), and some drachmas in case you needed to send an Iris message.
Because it was July, you decided to wear a light, breathable outfit. You wore black cargo shorts and a loose grey tank top, accompanied by your trusty black leather boots. The grommet belt strapped around your waist held your weapon, which was in its condensed form.
You hoped you wouldn’t need to use it until you arrived at The Garden of Hesperides, but you knew that was extremely unlikely.
Monsters were bound to come after you. They always did.
Chiron sighed. You hated when he had that “I have a bad feeling about this” look on his face, it made you feel extremely pessimistic.
“Should you need anything, send us an Iris message. We will expect you to return within two weeks. If you do not, we will send a satyr to find you.”
“We’ll be fine,” Luke said, but it seemed like was trying to convince himself instead of Chiron. “But thanks.”
Chiron nodded. He then turned his attention to you.
“I am very proud of the hero you are becoming. I know you have not had the easiest childhood, but nevertheless, you have persevered and become a strong fighter and a crucial member of Camp Half-Blood. I believe in you, and I believe you will succeed. But if you do not, that does not define your worth.”
You resisted the urge to tear up. Chiron had been consistently kind to you, even it felt like nobody would give you the time of day.
“Thank you,” you said quietly. “But we will succeed, I promise you.”
Chiron gave you a warm smile. “Good luck,” he said, looking at both you and Luke. “Be brave, but avoid recklessness. And most importantly, take care of each other.”
Luke nodded. “I’ll protect her with my life.”
You smiled at him. “And I’ll do the same for you.”
Chiron gave you a nod. “Safe travels, demigods.”
With that, Luke took your hand, and lead you down the hill past the camp border. He glanced over his shoulder for a brief moment, his eyes wandering towards Thalia’s tree. He looked nervous, but determined.
Determined to prove himself, and determined to keep you safe.
No matter what it took.

Camponotus thadeus, ant girl punk band member, photographed in the wild at long last by Matthew Connors!
**screaming like a 60s teen at an Elvis concert**
Look at this ant! Look at her!
We have known about this species for some time... but only from written descriptions and a few dried specimens in museums.
But, at long last, SHE has been photographed in the wild (by Matthew Connors)
The thing that I love about ants is you can tell a little bit about what they might be like to meet by their genus. As a Camponotus she is likely rather large, but gentle. She'd investigate your hand and tapptiy tap you with her antennae. If you gave her something sweet or a dead insect she run back home and return with a bunch of sisters.
I wonder what the hairs are for? Protection? Camouflage?
Looking at her you can see how they are distant cousins of the bees.

Connor x reader
Fandom: Detroit Become Human.
Character: Machine-Connor.
Genre: angst (sorta) / hurt no comfort.
"Connor,please don't do this.."
Walking slowly on the rooftop, hands in front of her, trying her damn hardest to persuade the android who was focusing on the sniper in his hands.
"Detective, you are off the case, you cannot intervene anymore"
He didn't even look at her, however her resolve did not waver, she had to bring him back to his senses.
Crouching near the edge of the rooftop, and with precise presesion he locked on the target.
The devient leader, RK200.
"No no! You have to listen to me,Connor! They are sentient beings! They have feelings and loved ones and-"
"This is your last chance, Detective. Leave right now, or I will take the necessary actions against you"
He wouldn't...would he?
Sweet, precious Connor, who stole her breath the moment she laid her eyes on him, who got her coffee every morning the way she liked , and then proceeded to info-dumb everything coffee-related on her, who criticized her about her junk food consumption, who protected her from being shot by the tracis in the Eden club, who gave her his jacket when she was fretting over his injured shoulder because she was shivering.. he wouldn't hurt her..right?
"Connor.. you are more than your program, you are more than what anybody tells you, please just listen-"
She didn't comprehend that he moved, until she was staring at the barrel of the gun he apperantly had on his person.
His eyes were so dead, that was not her Connor.
Or maybe it was...
Maybe she was too blind to notice, she let her feelings for him consume her mind.
She couldn't change him. It was too late. She was too late.
Was she was even important to him like he was to her?
Did he even realize.... no, was he able to understand how she felt for him?
"I warned you, Detective..."
His eyes, she was so stupid, they were like this from the begining, machine-like and so lifeless.
So so blind..
Tears welled up in her eyes, hands shaking, not from the cold this time, a broken smile slowly twisted her pretty features.
"I'm sorry.."
"There's no nee-"
"I'm sorry to myself for loving you, for thinking that you felt something, anything, for me.. and the worst part, is that I still love you, and I hate myself for it."
"Well, it's your fault, Detective. You know that androids cannot harbor feelings, and you chose to continue with the fantasies you created in your mind.
You cannot blame me for what I am..
After all, I was built for a specific purpose..
And I always accomplish my mission."
