Connor tries to make it up to Kara and Alice.

They eye him warily whenever he approaches. It makes something in the pit of his chassis feel heavy, like a wire’s caught in his internals; all of his diagnostics come up clean, though, so he pushes through the sensation and focuses on the motions — soften his gaze, shift his posture into something vaguely non-threatening, inquire about their well-being with a genuineness that puts them on edge.

(He deserves it.)

He’s seen them mingle with the other deviants at Jericho. Alice is shy, but she’s managed to come out of her shell somewhat with gentle coaxing and the promise of play. Connor’s flipped his coin for her once, when he noticed her watching; she’d stared back at him silently, half-hidden behind her mother. But her eyes followed his movements closely as he rolled the coin across his knuckles and tossed it in the air in a shining arc, a touch more theatrical than his normal calibration routine. He catches the coin between two fingers and offers it to her with what he hopes is a gentle expression (he’s never had to be gentle in his life) — she shakes her head and tucks herself bashfully against Kara’s side, but something in Connor still feels lighter in spite of it.

Kara is tougher to crack. (Connor frowns, rewinds. No, that’s not right — she’s not a suspect, and he’s not interrogating her. The syntax is ingrained in his code like cobwebs.)

She’s smiled before. He’s seen it — hesitant, as though she’s unsure if the positive stimulus causing it will last, but genuine. It’s not the typical wide, nurturing smile programmed into the AX400 series for everyday use, but Connor thinks it all the more significant for its rarity.

Kara’s smile disappears when she sees him. Her expression shutters into guarded neutrality, and her posture stiffens as though she’s gearing herself to run, though she always remains polite on the rare occasion where they converse around the massive elephant in the room.

Connor doesn’t understand why it matters. He tells himself he’s trying to make it up to her, to atone for almost killing her and Alice on that highway, and he is. That heavy sensation — guilt, he now realizes — washes over him in full force whenever she’s present, and he recognizes with some shame that there’s a selfish component in trying to earn her trust. The all-consuming urge to accomplish his mission has never quite faded, it seems.

But —

He doesn’t think that’s the only thing that’s driving him to seek her out. He’s earned the trust of the heads of Jericho, and most of the deviants in it. He’s smoothed things out with Hank and become a mildly annoying but staple presence in his house. He’s made a niche for himself at the DPD and ingratiated himself to his coworkers. Even Alice warms up to him, shyly requesting a repeat performance of his coin tricks with a matching quarter stuffed into one small palm. Logically, one deviant’s opinion shouldn’t matter amidst a sea of thousands.

All he knows is that one day, months after the birth of a new people, months after his entire life was flipped on its head and he started caring about atonement and smiles and absolution — Kara looks at him and her expression lifts.

Connor doesn’t need to breathe, but he feels breathless.

Soo this is how I enter the fandom I was inspired by kaschra's beautiful artwork and idea here - I really would have loved to see Connor and Kara interact more in game. But I guess that's what fanfics and fanarts are for

Kara: *casually deepthroats popsicle*

Josh: WHAT-

Kara: what? It’s not that big!

Markus, Connor, and Luther: *all nervously sweating*

[the-queen-of-ships]

The pain is real with this one, folks.

[connara-and-friends]

Machine!Connor: I hate you and everything you stand for. I want you dead, you deviant.

Kara: We were making out five minutes ago.

Machine!Connor, still holding Kara on his knees: That meant nothing.

[echoesbeyondtherain]

What I find incapable of resolving myself in what you're saying...is the way I feel about you

A sensation I can only describe as love, an emotion you say I am incapable of feeling

But that's the word I have for it...love

I feel it now...

For you

[simplyalexeiofficial]

Here’s the thing that I’ve never fully accepted. Why, why, WHY is Connara a rarepair? All it took for me was this moment, which contained more chemistry than all North/Markus scenes combined (in my opinion, of course, nothing against them because it was an okay enough storyline, the writing and interactions were just bland, all things considered).

Anyway, I’m writing Detroit Become Human fanfiction in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty three, god help me

Bryan Dechart considers the eye locking at the fence to be a moment of deviancy for Connor.

New Detroit: Become Human stories

Hello, everyone. On here, I go by lady-eternity, but on fanfiction sites, it’s Lois128. So, I have recently been hooked onto this game called Detroit: Become Human. For the record, I am not a gamer, nor have I played DBH, but I have seen a “few” gameplays here and there. I have also been obssessed with this ship, Connara, but I also respect Luthara. And I also found out that May 25, 2023 is the five-year anniversary of the game. So, in honor of them, I have written two stories, one for Luthara and one for Connara.

How Connara could've happened

Inspired by my old au from a year or two ago and the worst choice in Kara's story.

Okay, this is basically the result of the worst choice for Kara's story. This result is obeying Todd After Todd kills Alice and tries to kill Kara, Kara deviates and defends herself. She doesn't kill Todd, just severely wounds him Kara escapes and is on the run. She contemplates what to do. She feels lost without Alice and feels broken inside. Rather than find Zlaatko, she is directed by another android to find Jericho. In her journey to Jericho, she is captured by Connor and Hank

After Kara reveals the truth that Todd murdered Alice and her only crime is obeying the human who murdered her. Something awakens inside Connor. Hank being a father, decides to give Todd an ass whopping similar to how he gave Perkins one. Only this time Hank is off duty.

This gives Connor the time to make a decision. Let Kara be taken back to Cyberlife to be dismantled or save her. Saving her results in Connor's deviancy.

In their journey, they run into Zlaatko. After Luthor saves them, they are then greeted by Markus

"Come to Jericho, it's a safe place for all of us…"

"…Okay, we're coming with you"

Jericho is discovered, but Kara is not captured.

Connor feeling guilty, goes to Cyberlife to get the Connors under control. Kara would go to the camps to free the Androids.(Luther, Jerrys and Ralph)

After the revolution is won, Connor and Kara get married.(with Hank as Connor's best man and Rose walking Kara down the aisle) Connor and Kara decide to adopt a human child and her name? Alice.

I'll Help You | Detroit: Become Human

Pairing: Connor x Kara

Summary: Being a deviant was hard for Connor, luckily Kara was there to help.

A/N: quick writing I wanted to do, been on my dbh kick again 😂

After a few months of being a freshly new deviant, Connor struggled deeply with his emotions. Hank offered him some advice, but Hank also seemed to speak in an advanced way for him to really understand. After the war was done with the humans, Kara chose to stay, deciding being with Markus was better than moving away, where she couldn't...relate to anyone. The newly accepted deviants found a new place for everyone to stay, led by Markus of course. Inside the new home, which was an abandoned factory, was Kara, along with Connor and the other androids. She noticed him looking conflicted in a corner, his arms crossed and brows furrowed. Deciding to help him, Kara stood and slowly walked over to his position, being a bit cautious since the last time they saw each other was on the highway between the fence. Kara remembered how confused he looked, the same look on his face now.

"Connor?" She hastily asked, she had learned from Markus what his name was. Connor looked up from the floor, his brown eyes studied on her own blue ones.

"You...you're the deviant I chased all those months ago..." he reminisced, Kara looking away in reply. He quickly stood, prompting Kara to look back at him.

"I never got the chance to apologize. I was just a machine following orders. I apologize for putting your life, and the little girls in danger." He spoke sincerely, his frown adjacent to her own.

"It's okay, I understand. Not all of us find out the truth until later....how are you doing by the way? With all the emotions?" She asked, looking up at him. Connor found himself transfixed by her eyes.

She's beautiful, he thought.

"I...I'm still having trouble adapting to them, every emotion is different and hard to learn." Connor explained, his eyes drifting back to the floor. Kara smiled gently.

"I could help you, if you'd like?" She asked, her question causing Connor to look back up to her.

"I would love that, but what about the little girl?" He asked gently, a smile appearing on her face once more. He decided he liked her smile, and wanted to see it more.

"Alice is playing with the other children, she'll be okay for awhile," Kara looks to Alice as she speaks, her fond smile a beautiful sight to Connor. Connor nods in reply, a smile adorning his own face.

~

Another month or two have gone by, maybe more. Connor couldn't remember, all his thoughts were filled by Kara, and how amazing she was. How beautiful she was. Kara had taught Connor what her experience was like, and how the emotions had hit her like a train, Connor was concerned, merely asking if she actually was hit by a train. Kara laughed, another thing he decided he wanted to hear more of. He was more accustomed to the emotions now, understanding jokes and metaphors a bit better, much to Hank's enjoyment. But, he also bonded with Kara, something he never thought would happen. Maybe he even felt...love for her. But surely that was just a mistake.

Now, as they sit together, Connor is conflicted about whether he should tell her of these feelings, or simply let them go. After all, he didn't want to ruin what they had.

"Connor? You have that look on your face. I haven't seen that look in a long time, is something wrong?" Kara asks, bringing Connor back to reality.

"No, nothing is wrong. Well maybe, I'm not entirely sure," he speaks unsurely, Kara now focused on him.

"Why don't you tell me what you're feeling? Then we'll go from there," she spoke kindly, another detail he loved about her.

"Well whenever I'm around this person, I feel...warm. Like they bring me a certain...joy that no one else ever has. It's strange, right?" He asks, turning his beanie-clad head towards her. Kara smiles.

"No, not at all. I think you're feeling love, Connor." She states matter of factly, her smile warm and inviting. Connor widens his eyes a bit.

So he did feel love for her.

Connor turns toward her again as she asks him a question.

"So who is this lucky person?"

Oh, right. He never said who it was he felt this way for. Connor hesitated, Kara catching on immediately.

"Hey, don't worry. You don't have to tell me, I'm just happy you're finally feeling this emotion, it's very beautiful to experience..." she speaks, a slight sad sounding tone to her voice, accompanied by the solemn look on her face. Connor frowns, this time asking her the questions.

"What's wrong?" His voice is gentle, Kara acting almost surprised he had asked.

"Nothing, nothing is wrong. I'm just happy for you." Kara says before standing quickly, beginning to walk off. Connor frowns and stand as well, catching up to her.

"Wait! Kara-" Connor grabs her arm and gently spins her around, shocked by the tears cascading down her cheeks.

"Kara..." his voice is quiet and small, almost a whisper as he looks at her. He gently wipes them away, remembering the time Kara had done the same for him. Before he can pull away Kara placed her hand atop his own. The size difference, making him smile slightly.

"I...I thought-" she begins, cutting herself off. Connor frowns at this, gently lifting her gaze to his own.

"It's okay, you can tell me," he speaks gently again, looking at her soft blue eyes.

"After all these months we've spent together...Connor I- I've fallen in love with you. And after hearing you feel something for someone else..." Kara confesses, Connor finally clicking two and two together. Instead of speaking, he simply leans in, like how he's seen Markus and North do sometimes, pressing his lips to hers gently. Kara freezes for a moment, before her hands begin to slide up his chest, Connor's sliding to her waist. Their lips fit together perfectly, the softness astounding to both androids. They pull away, both of their eyes closed before Connor breaks the silence.

"It's you. You're the one I love." Kara opens her eyes and smiles brightly

"I love you too, Connor."

Rarepairs discord?

DBH people that follow me and/or see this in the tag!!! I need your help; is there currently a DBH rarepairs discord server? I used to run one but shut it down awhile back since grad school was killing me, and I was wondering if a new one had popped up in the meantime (and if not, if anyone would be interested in one.)

Also just wondering about chill DBH discord servers in general, so if y’all have suggestions I’m interested!
