just a short fic heavily inspired by this post about hank causing connor to deviate (but not in the way you expect) by @goodoldfashionedengineer
The RK800 was built to withstand the pressures of high-stakes situations. From hostage negotiations to interrogations to gun fights. It was stress tested against any danger one could expect to encounter in police work (and hunting deviants). What it was not tested against was uncooperative and unprofessional alcoholics.
Apprehending them? Yes. Partnering with them for a full investigation? No.
I’m not a Hank+Connor expert but I know there are there are a few other tags the DBH community uses for them
#platoniconk
#connorank
I’m not sure how well know these are but I figured I should share these as well
#platoniconk is just that, a platonic interpretation of hank and connor's relationship. It's neutral, not romantic or familial, much like what we see in game.
#connorank is another term that can be used to describe one of the in game relationships we see. Unlike the platonic tag, connorank is used for negative feelings the two can have. This can be as enemies or just being a bit hostile to each other.
It’s really cool we have all these different tags for the many interpretations of these guys! I hope all these tags become more popular in the fandom.

Just a short angsty, introspective fic about Hank going to the rooftop (to kick Connor's ass)! That I was meaning to write for like 2 years, but it's here now! 😅
So I'm doing hostile play-through, and you know, I think this scene hits different when it has a context of Hank shooting Connor the night before.
Hank says about how Connor saved human lives here, including Hank's own to which Connor just gives him a dead stare and then leaves without saying a word. Hank took Connor's life the night before, and yet here he is, alive today thanks to him.
I like to think it's a face of involuntary guilt and regret or at least self-reflection.
Within this context this short interaction just gets so gut wrenching it makes me feel physically sick. And I think it makes this scene so much better than it is in any other context.

It'd be so funny if Sumo was more aggressive, and in Russian Roulette Hank'd have woken up to the scene of Connor getting absolutely mauled.
I don't think he'd intervene either, more like poured himself another drink ignoring screams for help, and when they cease just go “Good dog <3”

Hank's spiritual beliefs is something that is rarely talked about but it's one of the aspects of his character that is really interesting to me. His suicidal ideations coexist with his doubts and concerns about the possibility of the afterlife or the lack thereof. Especially it is interesting to me what happens to them in the version of the events Connor keeps dying in front of him and coming back as if nothing happened. It challenges his idea of life and death when he stops to consider androids as living beings because the implications of having both androids being alive and the possibility of bringing them back from the dead as if death means nothing aren't exactly favourable for his views of the existence of afterlife, which from CyberLife Tower scene where he dies, we learn is something that he believes in. His faith in many ways keeps him going because part of him believes that when he all of it will finally be over, he'll get to see his son again and so he speeds up the process as much as he can. Even in time of playing Russian roulette the first time we learn he plays it, I think he does it with an afterlife in mind. He says he just doesn't have a guts to do it, but I think he also sees it as a loophole: it's not a suicide if he's just playing a game of chance. He doesn't directly kills himself in case he gets shot -- there's a plausible deniability that it was caused by luck, God's permission if you will, not him.
In the event of him coming to the rooftop to confront Connor, he knows that there's a huge risk of him not making it out alive but it doesn't stop him because even in case of his failure, he gets to die fighting for something he thinks is right and hence increases chances of his afterlife being something other than eternal damnation that many christian religions promise to those who commit suicide through more direct means. In this sense, him coming to the rooftop is him playing his game of chance again but this time with actual stakes and something to fight for. Whether he'll stop this Connor or dies trying he'll get what he wants.
Which, leads me to the scene of him actually committing suicide. I think in this ending he no longer believes in any afterlife for himself or anyone else, or God, or humanity as a whole or a better future. He comes to conclusion that androids are in fact people, but he doesn't like people (as a whole rather than individuals--to those he may feel sympathy) and thinks of them as an overall lost cause. There's no hope for them, or him. Before Connor drives a nail into the coffin of his spiritual beliefs about the scarcity of death he could at least grasp for his hope of afterlife. Connor coming back from the dead as if it means nothing combined with mind boggling cruelty of the world around him he observed over the course of last years culminating within the last week of his close contact with the deviants has taken this faith away from him. And this is precisely why he finally kills himself. I believe, in the moment he does it, he believed there'd be--as Connor said--nothing, and he prefers this nothingness to living another day in a pointlessly cruel place he sees neither hope or God nor meaning.
I don't think this time he was playing russian roulette. I think this time his gun was loaded.
