Goats and Robots

My first attempt at book binding a fanfiction!!! It was a wild ride, and I've posted the whole process over on patreon for free including doing just about everything incorrectly and redoing the entire cover

Her client was dead. Her programming was shattered. It wasn’t (couldn’t be) enough. Not for anything that she remembered, and not for everything she couldn’t.

But amidst the wreckage of her mind, she found a place that she could go...

A ship."

When You Fall Asleep

by WhimsicalGoat

         Summary:           

What seems to be a standard double homicide quickly unravels into a kidnapping, and Hank finds himself looking after two boys with a mysterious past. His strangest case turns into his biggest blessing as the three of them become family, but despite his best efforts, Hank was never able to solve the murders or learn where his new sons came from.

This comes back to bite him when Connor and Nines’ previous caretakers want them back.

Connor disappears and it leaves a hole in the family. Hank struggles with guilt, Nines with responsibility. After years of searching, they’ve all but given up when new evidence arises that might have all the answers they’ve been searching for.

Meanwhile, Connor’s been refined into the perfect soldier, and with some help, he’s determined to return to his family and take down CyberLife by using the weapons they gave him in their efforts to create something more than human.

Okay, there were four pics on my phone I had to choose from which really wasn’t easy.

But in the end I decided to go with this one:

My last two brain cells:

(It’s extra funny to me cos I live right by Cincy.)

I’m a simple person what can I say ;)

Guess I’ll have to go with this one XD

(and because I can’t resist, the honorable mention is captioned “everyone’s getting married and having babies and I’m just over here like look at these 1500 pics of my goats” XD) 

List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!

Okay @nock-and-bolt thank you for the tag ❤️❤️❤️ I have 35 works, though I think most are Detroit: Become Human atm…? (Though to be honest my AUs are so separated from the OG storylines they should probably be Original Works 😅) I dunno, I guess we’ll see! I’m super excited to see how this turns out…

Uhhh let’s go in order of most recently updated. I tried to stick to just the first sentence, but apparently I have a habit of starting stories with sentences that need more context so I deviated from the rule a little bit. 😅

[Connor…] (When I Wake Up, D:BH) 

“We are alive!” Markus shouted victoriously, looking out over the crowd. (Bitter Regret, D:BH - also found in the We Are Alive DBH fanzine)

Snow crusted in Connor’s hair as he made his way down the street. (Fragments, D:BH)

An anti-virus report blinked in the middle of Markus’ vision as he rebooted, blocking out everything else. (What Lies Below the Surface, D:BH)

Despite the joyous occasion, Connor couldn’t help the dread that made him feel heavier than he was. (Coping Mechanism, D:BH)

Small, colorful handprints covered a piece of paper, carefully protected beneath the blood-spattered picture frame. (unpublished D:BH fanfic, here’s a sneak peak ;D) 

Hank ran his hands through his hair, wanting to pull it out by the roots as he looked at the android across his desk. (other unpublished D:BH fanfic)

(these next three are so old you guys)

The wind was blowing across the snowy landscape, stirring up old snow and pushing it into the air, where it fell down again onto two figures. (Remembering, Red Vs. Blue) (seriously, I wrote this like 10 years ago)

Somehow, I knew. (Betrayal, Red Vs. Blue) 

The sound of his footsteps on the metallic floor thudded in Agent Washington’s ears as he made his way toward his destination. (Memory, Red Vs. Blue)

(now back to more recent works XD) 

“Papa!” I cried, clutching the fur of Papa’s coat with my mittens. (Frigid Lullaby, unpublished original short story)

She watches me. (Here and There, unpublished original short story)

The night sky was never empty. (Lost Boy, unpublished original short story)

Alastar Quinn should have known something was wrong when his apprentice, Brogan Feil, claimed he heard a voice echoing across the expanse of blue waves. (Merrow, original short story)

FAVORITE LINE: hmm maybe this one? - Small, colorful handprints covered a piece of paper, carefully protected beneath the blood-spattered picture frame.

Or this one - Snow crusted in Connor’s hair as he made his way down the street. - just because I liked the juxtaposition of starting the fic with a peaceful, innocent line followed immediately by system warnings and his body literally falling apart 😂
